I asked:' Where are the moderate Muslim voices...?

Question

...re terrorism'? I got many answers saying in effect, 'what about the Christian atrocities of the past?' Then I asked, 'What is the name of the logical error represented by these answers?' Nobody understood the second question. Do any of you, in this different category? What is the name, please. (Hint: Two wrongs don't make a right. Right?)

Answer 1

You got it!

Sadly, the few moderate Muslim voices (e.g. Aayan Hirsi Ali and Irshad Manji - both women!) are THREATENED WITH VIOLENCE (even death threats) by the extremists that control this group.

History is repeating itself. In many ways, we are reliving the 1930s. And, the outcome will likely be just as deadly. The vast majority of people (especially 'leaders', the media, and politicians never learn).

Answer 2

I think you will find it difficult to get a muslim to define what a moderate muslim is. To a muslim, Islam is a religion of moderation and so every muslim may consider themselves as a moderate. However, in every human belief system, you will always find fanatics (due to a lack of education)... muslim fanatics, christian fanatics and even atheiest fanatics. Unfortunately, the reason why you dont hear of muslim moderates is because the media will only choose to expose and interview fanatical muslims and the public never gets a chance to hear from the moderates.

To the post that suggested that Hirisi Ali is a moderate..... she is definately not and approximately 1 billion muslims will agree. do not consider yourself an authority on islam where you can judge who is a moderate and who is a fanatic. stick to what you know as certainty... do not make assumptions.

Answer 3

But what Muslim fanatics are doing nowadays is 'beyond the pale', as bad as others ever did if not worse. Speak up, everybody, or at least stop supporting your crazy clergy.

Answer 4

For the very comparable reason that Christians do no longer come out and denounce the strikes of the extreme professional-lifers that shoot abortion medical doctors and blow up clinics. they're the "lunatic fringe" and don't dignify a reaction. And in case you think of that each and every physique muslims are in simple terms like the extremists that are accessible, then you definately ought to think of in extremes with each and every race/faith: All Catholics are staunch conservatives and don't devour on Fridays All White adult males elderly 18 - 35 are serial killers All Older white adult males will kill their co-workers All Black adult males are in gangs All women are knocked up for the seventh time by the seventh guy All Hispanics are unlawful from Mexico All Asians own dry cleansing shops All Teamsters are working for the mob i ought to pass on, yet i think of you're starting to be my element. what's occurring right here is lots of are passing a judgment over a great inhabitants by the strikes of below 10% of the team. no longer in elementary terms is that incorrect, besides the incontrovertible fact that it is cheating. And if anybody thinks we ought to constantly choose all muslims on the strikes of that small praction, then all of us must be locked up as a results of fact we've the technique of killing somebody or breaking a regulation. Our shape provides for each guy or woman - it replaced into written to be how human beings cope with something of humanity as properly as to be a instruction manual for expectancies for human beings in this u . s .. To violate that to a small factor of a inhabitants is to spit on it. after which you will start up kissing your rights stable bye, as a results of fact finally somebody will reason that we did it to so-and-so, so it's going to be constitutional. and then those weapons would be next. . .
