Talk vs. Action and Facts

Ahmad Tariq, if the Islam was indeed as humane and peaceful as you are trying to reinvent it, nobody would be bothered by it. I am reading this Islamic apologetics day in, day out and I must admit that I find it sickening.

Tariq, what does all the blabbing about this divine and peaceful Islam matter, when the whole world is under a tight murderous siege at the hands of Islamist terrorists? And it is done in the name of the "pure" Islam. In the civilized countries, no one can travel freely or walk freely into public places because of this Islamist terrorist threat. Security checks at airports, train stations, shopping malls, stadiums, theaters, and any other crowded places are mandatory. And in spite of all this, almost no day is passing by without another murderous terrorist attack done by the "glorious" followers of this "religion of peace"….and in its name.

Iran is speeding "full gas" towards military nuclear capabilities, and is openly declaring that the Jewish State of Israel must be wiped off the map. And implicitly these threats mean also that Iran dreams to control the Middle Eastern oil reserves and supplies, and to teach the world "Who's the Boss".

That you are telling me that Iran, and the other "enlightened" Muslim states are not really representing the "true" Islam is not of much comfort neither to me personally, nor to the rest of the Civilized World.

Based on everyday realities, and on facts, today Islam is a deadly threat to the Civilization.

Have a nice and peaceful Id el Adha!

Moshe
