Indeed, I’m simply following your example, but with Islam as my focus instead of your US/Israel theme. Each of us is attempting to point out what has been the greater factor to the middle-east’s (Asia and Africa, too) problems.
Your post history speaks for itself and it’s obvious you place the majority of the blame on the US and Israel. I simply disagree. Islam is to blame.
You don’t seem to get it. Follow carefully.
Criticizing foreign policy of the US has nothing to do with criticizing American citizens. Just like one can be critical of Israel without necessarily being anti-Semitic.
You on the other hand, go to great lengths to discredit Muslims and portray them as savages. You don’t stop at foreign policy. You delight in relating every single piece of news you could find to smear Islam. Just look at how many times you and your buddies write the snarky “religion of peace” in association with some violent act. How do you not see that it’s not foreign policy you’re criticizing? Rather, it’s an attack on all Muslims that does nothing but inflame the existing hate on both sides.
I blame the US for the chaos in Iraq, that’s certain. But I know that the majority of Americans favor a withdrawal of the troops. So, you can’t say that I’m criticizing Americans. I’m criticizing the foreign policy of the current administration. Same goes for Israel.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the majority of Israelis are in favor of a peaceful solution to the lingering conflict. You see, I believe in the inner good of people regardless of their race or faith. You criticize Muslims en masse by suggesting that Islam is a barbarous religion.[/quote]
Blah, Blah, Blah. Please don’t look behind the curtain. After all, we can’t actually focus on the real issue behind the self-destructive nature of far too many “Islamic Nations.”
Again, you focus on US foreign Policy and it’s role. I’ll focus on Islam’s widespread role in oppressing women, religious minorities, apostates, etc. I’ll focus on how it spawns violent separatist groups. I’ll focus on how it spawns terrorism, mass murder of Christians and Animists, a disproportionate belief in the Protocols of Zion, disproportionate holocaust denial, etc.
I’ll focus on how Islam is used to justify muslims killing muslims. You go ahead and ignore it.
There are, of course, some heroic muslims. You are not one of them. You’re essentially a useful pawn for the maddrass, deflecting blame to the US, for what ultimately are the failures of Arabs and muslims. You should spend 95% of your time on here pointing out the ills of the Islamic and Arab world. You should spend the vast majority of your time demanding a vast and wide scale reformation of Islam.
Yet, instead, you spend the vast majority of the time blaming US/Israeli policy. No, you’re not revolutionary. And, your approach will never bring peace, equality, freedom, and coexistence to people living within the majority of the Islamic world.
True Muslim/Arab radicals will. Sadly, they spend a large part of their time just trying to stay alive.
P.S.
Just as a fun mental exercise, imagine doing the following:
Put a anti-Islam/Muhammad bumper sticker on your car in the Sudan, SA, Gaza/west bank, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., etc. Do this, and see just how much human freedom is respected.
Now put an anti-christian bumper sticker…Oh wait, the widespread Darwin fish eating the Christian fish symbol already exists. Or, look at the lampooning of Christ on S. Park and a multitude of other comedy shows.
