Re: Why is the Muslim world silent about the atrocities in Syria
Most if not all the countries that make up this muslim world have significant human right violation problems of their own, including absence of democracy; second class status of religious minorities and women; repression, at times violent, of voices of dissent and ethnic minorities; and oppression of Shias in many countries, including Pak. Of course it goes without saying that the prevalent depravity in none of those counties at the moment rival that in Syria and it is about time the appalling violence there stopped.
Imagine the outrage in those countries if the ruling regime had killed thousands in a country like Burma. All the ghairat-brigade would be out and about, foaming at their mouths. And one would think that surely if trigger-happy masses of people can riot and go berserk over an otherwise harmless cartoon or a video they can take to the streets to peacefully protest over the killing of thousands by Assad government but that clearly doesn’t seem to be the case.
which of the muslim countries has islamic laws? none
they all secular so instead of blaming muslims and islam you should question the ruling system in these countries which is cause of the problems you mentioned.
