Arent ordinary decent muslims worldwide erupting into the streets over Darfur?? Islam seems to accept racially motivated mass murder and genocide on fellow muslims for the crime of being black africans! How many ordinary muslims complain about Darfur, or the mass killings in Iraq, or the persecution of christians in muslim countries? Errm none! And yet someone draws a few cartoons, look what happens!
As an Assyrian from Iraq, i can state as FACT, that islam has persecuted my people for the last 1400 years. Our crime? Refusing to become Arabs, and refusing to convert to Islam!
If islam is peaceful, then why are the numbers of non muslims in the islamic world dwindling year by year?
Why are we regarded as Kuffar, or Dhimmi, derogatory terms for unbelievers?
If islam is so peaceful why is it that non muslims have been victimised for so long in te muslim world, and are still being victimised to this day? And why do muslims not speak out against it or stop it?

Sure, most religions have killed in the name of faith in the past, the Catholic church was particularly bad for centuries. But today in 21st Century it seems to be muslims doing all the killing in the name of religion, Shia and Sunni slaughtering each other in Iraq and elsewhere, Genocide in Darfur, Civil ar in Somalia, the Taleban in Afghanistan, Iran throwing its weight around, Islamic terrorism in non muslim countries, Tanzania, Argentina, Philippines, Thailand, India, Russia, Britain, Spain, Holland, Canada, Bali, Australia, Denmark, USA, Argentina, Israel, Ossetia have al been targeted by terrorists in the name of islam, or subject to islamic rioting, what other religion is doing that?

The UMMA? If you look at Darfur, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon, Kurdistan, Palestine, Algeria etc it seems the concept of the UMMA is a pure falsehood.

TRAMADOL is a racist and shows a typical muslim attitude. Assyrians are not backward, we are literally thousands of years older than any muslim people, and along with the Sumerians who we and our Babylonian twin absorbed, invented the wheel, writing, Astronomy, libraries, Civil Service,First Written Legal Cides Coinage, War Chariots etc etc. Tramadol, you are an ignorant son of a dog!

You hang in there! I know that there are still Assyrian Christians in Iraq. There may be great days ahead for you specifically.
You have it right about the Muslims and their so called 'peaceful' behavior. We know what we are seeing is the triumph of Satan in the guise of a religious political organization. We also can see clearly that there are total psychopaths in charge of Islam.
The only ones who can't see it are the Muslims. And that is downright tragic.

Why aren't ordinary, decent ANYBODIES erupting in the streets over Darfur? Why do people like you, who have their minds made up about how "evil" Muslims are, always hold us to a higher standard than everyone else? I personally receive almost daily emails from the Save Darfur campaign and I always take the requested action.
I agree with you that Muslims need to get their priorities straight. Staging mass protests over a stupid cartoon while remaining at home on the issue of Darfur shows the tragic state of affairs of the Muslims. In the end I think it all comes down to who controls what becomes important to us. These would have to be the media and the leaders of the Muslims. When these two get their priorities straight, maybe there will be some hope.
You are wrong though to say that Islam has persecuted your people. Only people can persecute people and they may do that for any variety of reasons, using religion as a pretext. Again, we come back to leadership and education.
There are many Muslims right here on YA who speak out against these actions every day. The trouble is, when we do we are accused of lying, and when we don't we are "proven" supporters of the murderous acts of others by default. So, essentially, we can never come out ahead.

If you are open to answers, then read it, otherwise ignore.
I will give you an simple example, theres a brand new mercedes & a driver.
case 1: if the driver is experienced or knows everything about driving, he will drive the car perfectly.
case 2: if the driver is a first timer, then there are more possibilties that he may cause an accident.
If theres an accident, we can clearly come to the conclusion that the driver was an inexperienced one thats why he had an accident, nobody would blame the merc. Its obvious.
Similarly, Islam is like the car & the people following it are like the drivers. There's no flaw in Islam, but its the people who dont follow it properly.
Dont assume the one who killed people in streets of Darfur an ambassador of Islam. Killing of innocent people is condemned in Islam.
If someone has seen a Muslim killing an innocent person, then he is not a true muslim, he's a hypocrite.
Dont blame Islam, blame the people who did in the name of religion.

properly now, dont you think of you're being extraordinarily picky? As an excellent number of warnings there interior the Qu'ran there are verses that tells of sturdy and benovelence. Is it not elementary for somebody to take care of their own religon? each and each verse has a explanation for it and be constructive to confirm what follows and not p.c.. out a line with out continuing it. it particularly is a piece of why Islam is so misunderstood. look at it a verse as an entire then you definitely will understand what it tells. scuffling with could be in many varieties. It doesnt mean to assualt human beings without postpone and contain people who're harmless. do not you think of that individuals have assualted and attacked Islam sufficient to tension Muslims in attacking you? whilst they say combat, combat canbe as in strike their financial equipment. steer away from people who asualt you from prospering and such. Islam is particularly a religon of peace -yet!- it won't stand nevertheless no count if it incredibly is assualted. admire people who admire you and strike people who insult and attack you. you won't be able to look at a religon and choose it by some strains. examine the Qur'an and you will understand.

All I had to read was the part where you said, I quote "racially motivated mass murder and genocide on fellow muslims for the crime of being black africans" to know that you are completely ignorant to what is happening in Sudan. Did you know both sides of this 'war' are black? Did you know the janjaweed (a name you surely learned in the last 6 months) are ALSO BLACK? Yes, black. Same skin color as the people they are killing, looting, raping yada yada.
How can you, if you have a brain, make this statement? (again quoting you), 'How many ordinary muslims complain about Darfur, or the mass killings in Iraq, or the persecution of christians in muslim countries? Errm none!' I complain about it. I am an ordinary Muslim. What would you have me do? Why isn't ANYONE doing anything? What power does the average earthly citizen have to help the people in Sudan? Why don't you address your questions to the powers that be because it isn't here on YA.
You again show your lack of education in stating that the word kuffar is a derogatory term for unbeliever. This is an incorrect analysis of the Arabic word. It is not derogatory, it is simply a word that means non believer. As a matter of FACT Muslims are kuffar to Christians, Jews, Hindus and every other religion because we are non believers of their religions. Just because some idiots in south Africa use the term 'kuffar' to try to speak derogatory about black South Africans doesn't mean THEY are using the word correctly. They are not.
Why is it that non muslims have been victimised for so long in the Muslim world? OPEN YOUR EYES MAN. CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY ARE EVERYWHERE. IT SURELY IS NOT LIMITED, NOR IS THERE A MONOPOLY ON IT IN THE MUSLIM WORLD.
GET EDUCATED. USE THE BRAIN ALLAH GRANTED YOU.

Yes indeed the Islam is the most peacefully religion in the world
U RAH MAT ALLAH UBARICATU.
we realy believe that we are peacfull but stil we have our quran that say what to do in our life.
if we have to discriminat for the cause of islam we will do it to all infidels as the quran say.
here is some wisdom:
The Qur'an:
(Sura 47:35 is Basically saying God doesn't want you to have peace)
Sura (47:35) - Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you,
Sura (2:216) - Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.
Sura (8:12) - I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them
Sura (9:29) - Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Haddiths
Bukhari (52:256) - The Prophet... was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)." In this command, Muhammad establishes that it is permissible to kill non-combatants in the process of killing a perceived enemy. (This provides justification for the many Islamic terror bombings.)

You ask a very good Q - rich countries like IRAN, SAUDI ARABIA, LIBYA, QATAR, IRAQ and many other could help a lot to the poor countries in Africa but they have other important priorities like buying expensive cars - for the desert, yachts - they don't even know where is the wheel house and golf clubs - they don't know the game's rules.
of course they buy a lot of weapons to fight each other and to look for conquering the world by TERROR of ISLAM supporting terrorists organizations.

Islam is not a peaceful religion. It is totally intolerant of any other religion. Muslims do not want peaceful co-existence with people of other faiths. They never have. Yes, some will give lip service saying terrorists are wrong, but at the heart of Islam, they believe its Allah's will and anything which furthers the Islamic cause is all right. They feel the end justifies the means.

I used to and I still do. But I am an atheist now. So I guess I don't count.
Well, my family speaks out openly against these things.
EDIT: Did you know the majority of the UN's forces are provided by Pakistan?
