Don't worry - its all been a mistake!
Easily done - the media picks unrepresentative nobodies just like above and puts them forward as representative.
The mellow reality that Muslims aren't really extremely different or even less human than the next person just isn't getting across.
The mellow existence of my own and the millions of other Muslims who disagree with such comments just isn't getting accross.
I like so many others want to live a good peaceful life and the vast majority if my values are identical with my fellow Chrisrian, Atheist and what ever else...
This mellow reality just isn't getting accross - Jews, Muslims, atheists, Christians have centuries of peaceful co-existence to look back on (using phenomenal events like the crucades to imply that Christians are genocidal would be wrong because for the cast majority if the time there have been peaceful pluralist societies). A pluralist society is new to the Weat but I know that if anywhere can do it - surely it can be done in Britain and America!
To say that Muslims blame rape victims just wouldn't be a constructive statement based on this - maybe some do but I doubt any more than the next Atheist or Christian.
We're all human and we've been getting on for years - I know that in my city of Glasgow Muslims and non-Muslims have been flourishing together for years in the effort of maintaining a just and peaceful society. Surely this is not just a Glaswegian phenomena? Surely it's not that peaceful co-existence of Muslims and non-Muslims in the west only works in Scotland (mind you Scotland is pretty amazing!)
I wish we could just chill and find out more about our fellow human instead if taking dodgy representatives and pretending it explains the whole.
Just cos an Atheist like Mao might kill countless innocents in the name if creating a religion free society - it doesn't mean that Atheists are murderers. I know this because I used to be an atheist and also maybe most of my friends are atheist - they are not murderers and Im sure they never will be.
Lets stop generalising and saying because you are a X then you will be Y about massive groups of people. Humans are far more complex than that and the generalising and demonisation of one massive group of people as 'the enemy' or incompatible with society is the route of genocide and other horrors.
Islam works in Glasgow thank God -why can't it work where you are - because of the Muslims or because of the lack if understanding?
Apologies for the hundreds of typos!
Bigoted people like to pretend that 'their people' are all good and the 'others' are just -all- a problem
