Sarah, if Islam is really so good and peaceful...

I would like you to give me a good explanation to all the atrocities committed recently in the name of Islam by Muslim terrorists. Please don't tell me that most Muslims do not do such things, I know that. You don't have to tell me that only a small minority of the Muslims is actively involved in this criminal activity. But even so, you cannot ignore that this is the most outstanding, the most visible contribution of Muslims to the Mankind: refining terrorism to its crazy perfection. They brought this "art" to its conceivable limits: indiscriminate suicide bombing of innocent people, kidnapping, beheading of hostages and doing this in front of cameras so as to make possible for everybody to "enjoy" the sight,….and this is only a partial list.

With regard to the "non-participant" Muslims the most outstanding part is their resounding silence and indifference in face of these atrocities, or worse than that, we hear from them accusations directed to the victims, and to the media, as you are also trying to do over and over.
