Why do we allways single a group out?

Question

Muslims Muslims Muslims, Its sooo easy to blame a word and this seems to be the popular one at the momment. But wouldnt the better word be Fanatics - its religious fanatics that hate us, its football fanatics that start fights it was religious fanatics that gave us the IRA, It was fanatics that gave us the world wars. When the IRA Bomed london we didnt claim that the Irish were trying to kill everyone, When the washington sniper was picking of people we didnt ask why black people were trying to kill everyone, Its allways Fanatics, and they are the ones who should be dragged into the streets and shot.....Muslims, Americans, Brits, Irish, Everyone..........All races and all religions produce fanatics, so the blame rests with us all.


Anyone else care to cast an opinion?

Love the abuse some of you have dished out, nice to see that you can tolorate an opinion that doesnt match your own. No wonder the worlds in so much trouble. Long live Narrow Mindedness

Answer 1

The media is biased. Some people believe everything they are fed by the media. Has no-one seen Farenheit 9/11? There are innocents in every group. For as long as people keep being classified these problems will continue. Its not just race or religion. I can imagine how annoying it is for people who have a disability to always be classified by that disability, and various other groupings we put people into. I dont think im to blame for many fanatics though, agnostic vegetarians, the group I volunteraly inhabit arent known for their violent tendencies! I wish there was a jerk gene then we could engineer a bio-weapon to seek it out, I know thats not very PC but the world would be a nicer place. Would make these discussion boards a bit boring though.
Dont know why a few people seem to get so riled up by you. Dont they realise they are proving your point with their fanatical "blow them all to hell" views? They may see themselves as very different from the terrorists, I'm not so sure....

Answer 2

Absolutely right. Wherever there is a group with a ideology, there will be people who will take that ideology to the extreme and believe that any who disagree with it should be converted or die.

It's a theme that runs throughout history and occasionally, those fanatics gain power, somehow credibility and a great number of followers.

There is very little difference between a religious agenda and a political agenda, so I don't think it's any more wrong to single out a religion than it is a political party. So you could treat the Muslim extremists the same as the Nazi party of the early Twentieth Century. The problem is when the extremists gain power and credibility.

I find it hard to believe that people can be so inhuman in the way we treat one another. Someone's Muslim... So? Someone's gay... So? Someone's black... So? Someone's liberal... So?
Why should these things matter, so long as nobody else is being harmed, why can't everyone just get along and respect everyone else's natural variations in beliefs, appearance, sexual orientations, political stances, traditions...

Answer 3

You make a good point, it is fanatics who drive these terrorist actions. However, beyond that is what the groups do from which they originate.

Recent events have been initiated by fanatics from the Islamic world and while there are a few individuals from that world who say how awful this is, most do not. Fanatics do not exist in a vacuum and they are always noticeable within the group from which they originate. There should be leaders of the Islamic world who are pin pointing these people before bad acts are undertaken, little of that occurs. In addition, these terrorists acts cannot occur without funding and that funding, for the most part, comes from the more sedate world of Islam.

Like it or not, this is occurring due to a clash between two different cultures. There is nothing new about this because it has been occurring with varying degrees of intensity for more than a thousand years. It will continue until one culture consumes the other.

To a large extent this is exacerbated due to a fundamental difference in the two cultures, that is, one more or less focuses on the rights of the individual and the other more or less focuses on subjugation of the individual through religion. This makes it tough to live in peace.

Answer 4

Essentially, I agree with you. It's very important to be specific and not stereotype any group of people. Not all Muslims are terrorists. Not all Christians kill bomb abortion clinics. Not all this...not all that.

The problem, I think, is you don't see very many Muslims decrying these terrorists who have hijacked peoples perception to the religion ( or at least they aren't getting much press time) so people begin to assume guilt by association and that a tacit nature is consent. I don't agree with that, but I understand how some people might believe it.

Answer 5

Good question babes can you hear the silence,
They've all got there tongues up there ***'s because it's so easy to blame Muslims.

I'm a young Muslim,from mixed heritage,most British people can't even tell that I'm not full English.

But with all the anti Muslim rant pushes more and more towards Islam,because all muslims are blamed.

Answer 6

I see many people on this site single out Americans for the cause of the world's ills and what the Americans did to pi** off the Muslims.

When are the "good" mulims going to stand up against the bad ones is what I would like to know.

Answer 7

I completely agree with you - there is good and bad in every race and it seems to me that good muslims are being perscecuted merely because of their religion..Yes, we have muslim terrorists but that doesn't mean that law abiding muslims should be gotten at as much as they are and you are completely right there is indeed fanatics every where!!

Answer 8

its called making a profile,well nearly 98% of suiside bobmings and terrorisim is carried out by muslims,when did you see a white male aged 20 to 35 wearing a suit and carrying a backpack and detonating an explosive device,answer none so thats why there isnt a profile on them if they did do bombings they would also be targeted.

Answer 9

Its a brand new AGE concern - wishful questioning The term (indigo newborn) itself is a connection with the perception that such little ones have an indigo-colored charisma....there is not any clinical help for those claims. wikipedia in case you're rather as clever as you declare - you will have prevalent to google this and discover out for your self extremely of telling us your thoughts. because of fact which you're no longer clever, you do no longer in effective condition the define of any specific newborn.

Answer 10

I agree that we should blame the ones doing these things. No entire group of people are responsible for the acts of a few. There are many innocent people who get hurt because of a few bad people. Let's not forget that there are good and bad people of every race and color. No one group of people are all good or all bad.
