Seriously the "they do this", tenor and persecution complex is grade AAA MDS.
I fully believe after reading his rant that he perceives the choice to be "Support this resolution of support for Muslim citizens and be forced to convert to Islam" or "Oppose this resolution and not have to be muslim".
Which makes no sense because a resolution of support in no way has a causal linkage to Sharia law.
Futhermore, the blather on "alienating" non-muslims by doing this (rather toothless) resolution that doesn't add new legislation illustrates a world view where any support (even kind words) is somehow giving aid and comfort to a competing group which is perceived as the enemy.
I've only seen such behavior from Stormfront. Of course, we know Islam isn't a race but a religion. However, mindless bigotry and persecution complexes, key components of racism, are present.
unless I missed something, I think this is directed at me.
If so, then, first of all, and just to clarify: am a she, not a he.
As to the rest,
There is an over-abundance of crap in Islam that many Muslims themselves find abhorrent, you don't have to look very hard, at all.
The Sharia reference was one of many, many, many, I could make.
Quote: ....a world view where any support (even kind words) is somehow giving aid and comfort to a competing group which is perceived as the enemy.
I can
personally give kind words, myself, to an individual muslim coworker or neighbor,
who expresses being shaken or disturbed by the attack in Québec;
but WHENEVER the term "Islamophobia" is used, it just seems to strengthen the "SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE" stamp that immediately gets applied to anyone who objects to it as being "racist", and that is the part I have objected to, from the beginning.
The fact that several here are already rushing to condemn my concern of the use of the word, as being bigotry,
just underlines my point.
Let me put it this way:
If I was a Muslim, myself, in Canada, today,
I'd like to think that my reaction to the Quebec mosque shooting,
and the subsequent "Anti-Islamophobia" motion in the Ontario Legislature,
would be thus:
First, I'd of course be Shocked, Horrified, and Afraid.
Then I think I'd feel a little thrill of the acknowledgement of my fear,
upon hearing of this motion in Queen's Park.
Then, after processing everything, I'd like to think that I, as a Muslim,
would feel a prick of unease over the use of the term "Islamophobia"
knowing it is inarticulate, unjust, and will do more to fan the fires,
than cool them.
And then I'd feel dread at the prospect of asking my fellow Muslims to
acknowledge that this term does damage.
There's a Canadian journalist, a Muslim, a Pakistani Immigrant, himself, by the name of Tarek Fatah,
once a long-standing member of the NDP (New Democratic Party), who is very progressive in his views
and doesn't dodge any of the shots fired at Islam; he readily acknowledges the problems within his own religion,
and presently has a Fatwa on his head, as a result, and has received death threats, right here in Canada,
from members of the Muslim community.
I can't honestly say I agree with every point of view Fatah has offered,
but I agree with most of them,
but I respect and admire him for his unflinching willingness to criticize his own religion,
while still remaining faithful to Islam, himself,
and I admire his bravery to continue to call Islam's bluff,
pointing-out that things like Sharia are not in the Qu'ran
but are, rather, "man-made" rules that came, after the fact;
and traveling to India to condemn the practice of Triple Talaq,
at the peril of his life.
If all Muslims were as progressive as Tarek Fatah,
my guess is that the West would not have NEAR the problem with Islam that it does.
Once again, I say that I hated my own family's religion of Christianity,
long before I was even aware that there was such a thing in the world as Islam.
Quote:Of course, we know Islam isn't a race but a religion.
However, mindless bigotry and persecution complexes, key components of racism, are present.
There is an ENORMOUS issue of misogyny in Islam, as well as Homophobia,
that causes huge rifts between huge numbers of Muslims.
One portion of Islam is persecuting, torturing, disfiguring and murdering other portions,
and I object to being labeled as Islamophobic because I criticize Islam for it.
Yeah, that's mindless bigotry.
i will listen to my own common sense and logic.
You guys can pander all you please.
Such idiocy.
