Islamic Religious Leaders call for Hanging of Atheist Bloggers in Bangladesh

[Faith No More]

Well most Muslims arent terrorists and people read into these stories an age old image of 'us the civilised and them the uncivilised' and not much is gonna change til an openness to "this doesn't mean Muslims are scumbags".

But I don't think this openness is here and really I'd rather work from the top down - tackle the media and culture that socialises people like you to think in such silly ways....

People like me? You've got some balls considering I have not said one thing in this thread denigrating Islam. I think it's a travesty that the extremists are viewed as the majority, but whining about it isn't going to change a damn thing. Instead of boo-hooing about how we think in "such silly ways," tell us how upset you are that violent extremists are tainting the image of your religion. Tell us how it angers you that they have twisted the words in your holy book to suit their own political agenda. Explain to us how your religion does not condone such actions.

You blame others for thinking radicals represent Islam, but you sit silent, unwilling to demonstrate otherwise. Instead, you cry about how others are generalizing such a large population, which makes you look apathetic and somewhat complacent about the atrocities.
