After the France incident : a Muslim -me- just thinking..

[downbeatplumb]

The Iraq war butchered 2 Million -mostly Muslims- by the hands of the U.S & its allies (including other Muslim Arabs). But the world never condemned the Iraq war this harsh, or even put forth a glorious march like the one in France.

The world did protest the war in Iraq.

You are re-imagining history so it fits your preconceptions I'm afraid.

How many crimes also took place & were hidden ? committed by non-Muslims ? Though ; the media doesn't give it that much of attention, even though the casualties are more severe & the attack is more more more brutal.

Are you talking about people dying in the war in Iraq. If so then you will be aware that most of the muslims killed were at the hands of the muslims traditional enemies, other muslims.

What about the drones ? robots are making a revolution now, mainly tested on Muslims. All kinds of new technologies were tested on Muslims, in some cases miss-shoot or go wrong to kill civilians, in numbers greater than the incident in France over a longer period. But the freedom of speech doesn't include these people.

Firstly these are weapons of war used to project power in enemy territory against a well organised and funded opponent who think nothing of shooting up entire schools full of children.

Secondly use of these drones are controversial and under constant scrutiny and discussion.

What happened in France is bad. But

Here is were you try to justify it. "It was bad BUT"

Muslims have been living it too for a while, and the effect of poverty, wars & conflicts started to show up : insane killers are spawning because of the stress. Does that justify their murder ? no. They are murderers ; too.

They aren't "murderers too" they are just murderers. do not try and equate a slaying in a secular nation of cartoonists with western intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan which were wars.

I personally never understood the justification for the Iraq war and certainly did not approve of it.

But what it wasn't was the deliberate targeting of civilians. The western powers have very strict rules of engagement and when this is not followed there are consequences. This is in stark contrast to the "lets kill as many unarmed people as we can" outlook that seems to be the flavour of the day amongst Jihadists.

Via freedom of speech reaching everybody, the fuel for such attacks will be lessened ; emptied a little. Every criminal act is not welcomed ; even if it was from a french drone in the afghani mountains.

There you go again equating war with terrorism, stop it.

We must all work to build the luxury of that when we avoid killing we don't get killed -no matter what we do or say-, and when we meet others & we don't get judged or carry the sins of somebody else. life is a precious gift from god to humanity ; the brain is also another precious gift.

Agreed

A French citizen doesn't carry the weight of a corrupt politician. An American citizen doesn't carry the weight of the army. A Muslim doesn't carry the weight of Osama & his kins.

I don't think anyone here would equate all muslims with terrorists.
In my experience most people of any group are nice and just try to rub along.

Its the true believers you have to watch out for.

That goes for all the faiths.
