Kindness to Muslims. Will more kindness overcome their hate?

Question

Most people believe so. Why...I dont know, maybe its our foundation of Christian morality (love the enemy, turn the cheek) and Disney-endings.

The scary part about our simplistic way of seeing the world is that Islam is the perfect test of it. While some Muslims are decent people, the whole of Islam is without any question a steady and implacable movement of intolerance itself.

The vast majority of Mosques teach Muslims to hate unbelievers and push Islamic culture. Now, to western people this sounds like exagerration, or impossiblity. Thats because of our naive notions of the world. But if you actually research what Im saying, read the poll data, study history, you will find every word true.

Its true, they do we our tolerance as weakness, although they dont tell us as much. Am I espousing hatred? Yes...and I do so in the finest tradition of survival...just as I was wired to do.

Why should tolerate intolerance? How does that make any sense? Because its cloaked in religion?

Thats it isnt it...Islam is allowed to grow unchallenged, using outright predatory means, but is given a pass because its deemed a "religion" and God knows how Americans feel so duty bound to respect religion.

RESPONSE: Many of the answers are absolute confirmation of what I was saying. We love to believe "love conquers all", yet have no real basis to believe this...its all wishful thinking.

Just because I dont believe we can win this with "loven em" doesnt mean I believe in a world of hate and blood drrinking. I believe in the golden rule, and tolerance of all who are tolerant. Where intolerance poses a real threat...i support the most savage possible response.

"I have NEVER been to a Mosque that taught hatred of unbelievers".

What an outrageous lie. First of all, i dont believe its possible, even in the west, to attend a mosque that doesnt preach hate for western culture.

However, whats really hillarious is how so many of these english speaking Muslims in the west want you to believe they represent the whole of Islam. I understand its in their interest to try and put a good face on all this, but it still amazes me.

Muslims in America represent .0001% of the super west-hating Islamic world. Funny how YA Muslims in here always make it seem like their view is what every Muslim believes.

Never do they say "many of us dont believe that"...its always "we dont believe that". If thats not an outrageous lie...the aninal doesnt exist.

Answer 1

What you are saying is common sense, not hatred. There are Muslims that hate us. Saudi money is funding mosques in America and they are preaching hate. I don't know if they all do, but there's no denying that it's happening. Undercover reports have revealed some of the hate being spewed around the world.

Love and tolerance are not weaknesses but shouldn't be used as excuses to be stupid. These people that want us dead don't respond to love or reasoning.

The 9/11 hijackers used our laws against us. People said they seemed nice, quiet. Isn't that what is always said about mass murderers, Muslim or not? They lay low, don't draw attention to themselves and then when the time is right, they strike. You'd think we would have learned by now.

Answer 2

I'm a muslim and I'm saying it with proud. You should, too ... Your father is a good man indeed, but he should also teach you HOW to read the Quran and its meaning. In the Quran, you will find the answer. Why everyone in your grade hate you, and what should you act or react as a muslim. You have internet access, so browse and find out what Islam is all about. Of course, the Quran is the main reference and guidance for muslims, so if you find any information about Islam, you have to compare it to the Quran. Anything that contradict with the Quran is wrong. I suggest that you speak to your parents to find a solution to it. Sometimes, only care is not enough. Other idea would be distinguishing yourself from the others. Be the smartest, or strongest, or the best in anything. Then, everyone would not make fun of you for being a muslim anymore.

Answer 3

And when exactly was the last time you where in a Mosque to know what is being taught?
You assume a heck of a lot and know absolutely nothing.
Islam has never been "intolerant" in my experience. When have Muslims been intolerant to you? I am most certainly NOT taught to hate unbelievers you listen to too much media propaganda and treat it as fact. I am a "westerner" and a Muslim so tell me am i "naive" and a Muslim or western and intolerant? Shish your blindness is staggering. I feel sorry for any children you teach this drivel too.
Is this hate filled question what you call tolerant? Survival? Honestly the only person who is threatening your survival is Bush. He will not be happy till there is a WW3 and it will all be his doing. Look a little closer to home for your intolerance. Bush learned it from his father and grandfather, no wonder you are the way you are if this what you call tolerance.

Truth Seeker? More like Propaganda Pusher.
And PS my mother is a born again christian and my father a Protestant are you suggesting Islam is teaching me to hate my own parents? I feel truly sorry for you. The word pitiful comes to mind......

LOL there you go with your made up statistics of there being only .0001% of muslim living in the west are you suggesting that out of 1.6 Billion that 99.9998% live in the middle east? Come on your a complete joke. And as for your comment "english speaking muslims" i have visited many muslim countries and they have a very high percentage that speak several languages. My husband is fluent in Arabic, French, German and English. Every muslim i have ever met in the UK speaks english but are not all from the UK. So are we ALL trying to give an image of Islam that does not excist in your opinon. Or maybe just maybe WE are the real Islam and the media stereotype you want everyone to by into is the urban myth?



When have you ever been in a Mosque?
Let me tell you exaclty what happens when i go to mosque. I arrive chat with some friends, look in the book shop, i wash for pray, pray is called, i enter the hall, i do my two prayers before we are lead by the Imam. The Imam then leads prayer, we all follow. Prayer ends. The Imam gives a small talk sometimes, not every time about chapters in the Quran, or local events, a talk about children, or some events in the news. We leave the Mosque say goodbye to friends and neighbours and go home. All in all we are there 15/20 minutes max. And in that time i am being taught to hate all non believers am i? Non believers are the last thing that gets talked about. Contrary to what you believe we have more important things on our mind. OUR LIVES. We have them you know. We work, have children, careers, get further educations, have friends and family, have doctor and dentist appointments, need to get a new indicator bulb for the car, oh and cant forget to get the milk for my kids breakfast in the morning. You see we are just people with lives like everyone else. You, people of other faiths or no faiths at all really do not enter on to my head on a daily basis. I have better things to do with my time as do all other muslims. Sorry to burst your hate filled bubble but there you go. Pop! You and your faith and your country and your whatever are the last thing on my mind so you can put your paranoia back where they belong with the boogy man under your bed. End of story......

This link will tell you exaclty how many muslim are living in the US. http://www.allied-media.com/AM/index.html
How do you like them apples? Truth seeker? What? Truth hurts does it?

Answer 4

Gee, I am Muslim, and I have NEVER been to nor even heard of a Mosque that teaches Muslims to "hate unbelievers". Until you have gone to a Mosque yourself and seen this with your own eyes, you should never say such things. Ignorance. And by saying "the vast majority of Mosques" (LMAO!) you are horribly generalizing and making yourself look like a fool (even though many people who already have a pre-concieved hate for Islam will gladly agree with you impulsively). Have you too been hypnotized by the media? LOL, the "vast majority of Mosques". Thanks for the laugh. Push Islamic culture? I'm laughing even harder. Where do you get this stuff? Fox News?

"Love the enemy, turn the cheek." I guess you are a massive hypocrite.

Answer 5

what, how many mosque have you been to? jumah services are held on Fridays so you should go to a service then come back and then come back and let us know what hate got preached. anyway, this world has been in existance for a very very long time and the christians did use to go killing people, breaking stautes, taking slaves (for instance the african slaves coming to America) is a prime example.
what are you talking about? People representing Christians have done many things all around the world. You are a biased.

Answer 6

Yeah, you showed me your love and tolerance by your offense on Muslims.

You are expert in making muslims evil and making yourself angel. Actually when i read your post, i know how much hate do you cover inside towards muslims. This nonsense you are righting gives me an idea how dumb you are. Are you American? If you so, i dont blame you.

Answer 7

If Islam taught Muslims to hate non Muslims then not a single Christian or Jew would have been allowed in Jerusalem during Islams 1200 yr rule.

Your lies have no basis in fact.

Crusaders spread the same lies to gather their forces and they lost 8 out of 9 crusades so GOD was also not impressed.

.

Answer 8

Islam is perfect! The people that practice it are not. There are a whole lat of Christain(just open today's newpaper how many crimes where committed in US and how many were muslim? I think you would find that the christain committing crime is high than the muslims) that do bad things but you dont see people talking about forever.

Answer 9

Unless you are talking about the very small sects of extremists, of which I've never met, every Muslim I have met has been on average much nicer and accepting than any Christian ever has. So yes, I will be kind to Muslims if you don't mind.

Answer 10

If by kindness you mean love, yes. Love will always overcome in the long run because it's the strongest force in the universe.

Notice that prepositional phrase: in the long run. It doesn't always happen as quick as we'd like it, but it does always happen.

M. Gandhi said that in all his years on earth one thing he knew for sure was that love and goodness would win in the long run, and that deception and hatred would lose.
