Violence, Terror and Islam: A Plea to Abandon the Cocoon
This is a surprisingly honest article by a Muslim asking why muslims keep so quite when they commit crimes against non-muslims. I seriously doubt though that there many like him that keep awake at night worrying about these things.EARLY IN January 2003, in Kashmir, three Muslim women were slaughtered for showing their face in public, three Christian missionaries were gunned down in Yemen. In Nov 2002 Nigerian Muslims took to the streets and at least 200 were shot dead and hundreds wounded. In October 2002, in Bali, Indonesia, a bomb claimed nearly two hundred lives. In September 2002, in Karachi, seven Pakistani Christians were gunned down, execution style, at a charity organization. In January 2002 Daniel Pearl, an American journalist was abducted in Karachi and was later butchered. In March 2002 five people were killed in an attack on a church in Islamabad, Pakistan. In October 2001, in the Punjab, Pakistan, sixteen worshippers were killed in an attack on a church. In September 2001 two aircraft, piloted by suicide bombers, crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, killing 3,000 people. This is not meant to be a catalogue of violence committed around the world in recent years. Such a catalogue would be unconscionably longer than the above account and would, for example, include the Gujarat riots of last year that claimed a thousand lives. Going only a few more years in the past, it would include the massacre of twenty-nine Muslim worshippers in the West Bank of Palestine by a Jewish fanatic. Posted by: rg117 2003-04-19 |
