You have to put things into proportion. One thing, our media never does. Two days ago, it was Brussels. Terrible, and the outrage is more than justified. But in other news, today another suicide bomber blew himself up in Bagdad, claiming as many lives. That's not Islam or muslims waging war on the West. That's backwards sects waging war on everyone not fitting their bill of perfection. Terror is a daiily phenomenon in the Middle East. Only we don't take note, unless it's in our comfort zone. It simply doesn't interest us or our media. The majority of victims still are fellow muslims. So it's kind of blaming the victims when someone pulls out the broad brush to say, it's Islams or muslims. Several, relatively small militias and terrorist organisations are at the core of the problem. And we would be well adivsed if the sane parties were working together instead of just blindly blaming entire groups.
I fail to see how any of your replies relate towards the comments made towards you.
Someone says "A large percentage of Muslims want sharia law."
You say "But sharia won't be put into place". So what? That's not the point being made.
Someone says on average Islamic countries are more stuck in the theocratic dark ages than western secular societies which have benefited from relative enlightenment.
Your reply is another complaint that the western media didn't report about a bombing in Bagdad as much as the terror attack in Brussels.
Yeh a lot of the victims of Islamic terrorism are Muslims, it's because they have to live around other Muslims, and a lot of the time if they decide to change their mind and not become a Muslim it could result in death.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
