The 9/11 atrocity and Islam

Logic dictates that if such atrocity took place there must be teachings in Islam that would justify such an atrocity, and that if Muslims tell us that those killers were not real muslims is nothing but nonsense. I have not seen a single Muslim following the 9/11 atrocity that tells us yes there are indeed doctrines in islam that would allow such atrocity and Muslims should work at fixing such bad doctrines once and for all. But you know what? the only thing we heard is that islam is the religion of peace (sic)!

Now your argument that islamic imperialism is not any different from any other form of imerialism so why go after Muslims, is a poor argument. Imperialism should be defeated in any form, be it Islamic or otherwise.

Now Muslims lecture us about the crusades ad nauseum but when reminded that the Arab invasion of the middle east was not any different and at least the god of the Christians never told his followers to invade the lands of others as the God of the Qur'an really says. And you know what? when I tell Muslims that islam was indeed spread by the sword (yes there are few exceptions) the responses that you get are most pathetic.

What is amazing about your Pakistani friends, their ancestors were victims of Arabian imperialism and now they are out to spread islam. The ultimate Stockholm syndrome.
