What if they were Muslim?

[Sofiyya 1,687]

maybe because they are disproportionately responsible for heinous crimes against the body? maybe because they engage in forms of ritual murder that most cultures forsook centuries ago? maybe it's because they hide their murderous impulses behind a false god? maybe it's because they display a total intolerance toward all non-muslims while simultaneously demanding that everyone else tolerate their outrageous behaviour?

maybe they earned the bad press. maybe not even chimpy can keep the heat off of them.

And, you know this how?

in taliban times little girls do not learn to read and write. they don't grow up into women who argue about whether muslims are nice or not on the internet. if you were born there and then you wouldn't be wasting VJ bandwidth.

Actually, if I had grown up there, I'd have attended college.

Something that makes me happy is that, despite all the bloviating done by the readers of bad news, one advantage that I have is that I don't just get my information secondhand or from blogs. I've been to these places, I know many actual Muslims, I don't hate Islam or Christians. I'm not inclined to go around insulting cultures I only know through propaganda.

I feel sorry for those who judge on such flimsy evidence. You don't know any better. May God forgive you.

Captured 14-year-old suicide bomber unrepentant after Sunday's terror attack in Pakistan

Multan, April 5(ANI): The 14-year-old suicide bomber, who was captured after his explosives failed to detonate during Sunday's terror attack on a shrine in Pakistan, remains unrepentant as he tells police that he wants to be a "martyr" and send them "to hell."

The teenager- identified as Fida Hussain- was arrested at the shrine close to Dera Ghazi Khan in central Pakistan shortly after Sunday's twin suicide attacks on thousands of people attending an annual festival there, killing 42 people and wounding 100 others.

"Let me go, I want to be a martyr," CBS News quoted the teenage bomber, as saying while he was being led away, according to police officer Khalid Mahmood.

"I want to send all you policemen to hell!" the 14-year-old added.

Another suspect was also detained at the shrine following the attack, but the police gave no details about him.

Mahmood said that both boys were apparently from North Waziristan, which is one of the seven tribally administered areas close to Afghanistan, all of which are militant hotspots. North Waziristan is under virtual militant control and is home to extremists from around Pakistan and the world, the report said.

Mahmood said that Hussain and the other attacker were at the shrine for around one hour before striking, and Hussain threw a grenade when his vest failed to detonate, but it exploded close to him, blowing off his hand.

Police then fired at him, hitting him in his other arm, and now the teenage bomber was being treated for his injuries on Monday, Mahmood added.

Hussain's comments to policemen offer a glimpse into the level of indoctrination he had received.

"You all are accomplices of the enemies of Islam who are bent upon eliminating Islam and Muslims," he allegedly said, adding, "If I get a chance, I will again strike as a suicide bomber."

The Taliban often use young boys- mostly with little or no education- as suicide bombers because as terrorism analysts say, the youngsters' handlers find it easier to persuade them to carry out suicide missions.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, one of the country's largest and best organized militant groups, claimed responsibility for the attack in a brief phone call to reporters.

Taliban militants were at the centre of fresh investigations on Sunday, the report said, adding that security officials warned of the likelihood of concerns about further attacks in the coming days.

When you see a rhetorical question, use that line. I asked a serious question.

Yeah, right. I forgot, you aren't trolling for people like Justashooter, Simpson, or Danno to come on here and espouse anti-muslim sentiments.

What me? Anti-muslim sentiments? Got proof? Considering the many posts I have made here you should have no problem finding proof. Now had you said anti-rob well then you might of had a point.

True. I don't post at all for that to happen. They do it by osmosis.

Why ask for proof just to admit it can be found?

I'm trying to get you to see the difference between a very common problem in the Muslim religion (suicide bombing) vs. some Christian fanatic that killed his friend because of sexual advances (very uncommon).

You went out on a hunt for articles and were stumped pretty quickly. I was able to find countless articles about extremists (in the Arab World) that are blowing themselves up and taking 5 to 100 people with them. These types of attacks do not happen in America. Yet they happen daily in the Arab World. I'm not sure what the stats are but my guess is there has been a suicide attack every hour for the past 10 years, each attack desecrating human life in a traumatic, mortifying, unthinkable way.

You didn't seem to see a difference between a random lunatic (not apart of any militant organization or group, not recruited) and 14 to 16 year old kids brainwashed into strapping explosives to their chests and massacring innocent civilians.

Why don't you go back to the lab and look for a Christian, Buddhist, Jew, or Hindu that strapped a bomb to his/her chest and took out 40 people and injured 100 more. Find 1 case of this.

Or how about find a case of a child doing it?

In the Muslim World it is a daily event and severe problem. If Allah/God was real then don't you think He would have put "Thou Shall Not Commit Suicide" in the Qua'ran....Yet another VERY STRONG proof that God-Allah was man-made.

Soffiya - I really thought of you as a person I could learn more about Muslims from, but each time I ask a serious question about comparing Muslims and Christians, I feel you don't give me a serious answer.

I don't know what you want. Frankly, I don't think anyone is listening anyway.
