So what do all of you "peaceful Muslims" think of this?

Question

KHARTOUM, Sudan - Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear "Muhammad."

Abu Ahmad: Is that they way that we should treat your people for talking about Jesus? If you don't except Jesus as the Son of God, should we get sticks and stones and treaten to kill you?Your standard is a double one and its causing many innocent people to die today.When will peaceful Muslims start speaking out against such atrocities.

Princess yum yum: I can tell you what peaceful Christians think of this.We think its about time for peaceful Muslims to stand up and start fighting their own battles.Instead of taking advantage of questions like this and condeming such behaviour, they do as your doing here.And yes they may not have a voice in their own country, but here in the US. they have a voice to speak out against these things and, NO ONE IS HEARING THEM SAY ONE WORD AGAINST SUCH BEHAVIOUR>

DAMB8: Your not a Christian.Heres a quote from your thoughts on america.

"fat, ignorent, rich, hot bitchesss, aggressive, talkative (bragging),killers, indisciplined and many racists.

This doesn't sound very "christian" to me.

sshazzam: I have to agree with you.
People will sometimes believe what you say, but they will always believe what you do.

LYNN C: WOULD YOU MIND BEING A BIT CLEARER?

Answer 1

"sshazzam: I have to agree with you.
People will sometimes believe what you say, but they will always believe what you do."

With the above quote that you made regarding 'sshazzam's' statement..I too agree with what he has said, and your response to him!
Too many Muslim's here in the U.S. that make the claim to be "peaceful" and holding true to their faith, and yet do NOTHING to help SHOW that their faith is what they are claiming it to be.

Whereas Christians on the other hand are in the "fighting arena" struggling to show the love of Christ, against much opposition, and against "radicals" that CLAIM to be Christians doing atrocities in the name of Christ. Christians are at least trying to work out the details of providing food, and clothing and shelter as well as medical help, in various forms...such as Salvation Army, Local Missions, Christian hospitals (that give their services for FREE or low cost to those that cannot afford it) and the lists go on....
Where are the "Muslims" that say they too are trying to be "peaceful" and "help" the population?

In the words of the Late Great President (for which the "Teddy Bear" was named) .....Theodore Roosevelt;

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat!"

Answer 2

I suspect that peaceful Muslims (who are in the majority, compared to radical fundamentalists) are horrified and outraged by what is happening in Sudan.

Gillian Gibbons, an educated and intelligent woman, could not have known that allowing her class to call a toy Muhammad was tantamount to worshipping a graven image. Did you know that? Does any person in the West who has not studied the theology of Islam know that? I didn't know that, and I've been studing this religion in order to understand it. It is my opinion that she unwittingly and unknowingly caused offence and that some fundamentalists deliberately used this to further their own religious and political aims.

How may people here know that most of the Sudanese living in the south of the country are not Muslims? That their brothers in the north have been persecuting them for years? We neither know, nor do we care. We're quite happy where we are in our own comfort zone in the so-called civilised West. The notion that Islamic fundamentalists want to convert the world to Islam is, in their opinion, laughable. Oh, really?

Sadly, the result of this disgraceful travesty of what we would call justice, is that professional people, like doctors and teachers, will stop going to countries like Sudan. And it will be the ordinary, peaceful and poor subjects of those countries that suffer. They are not in a position to rise up against their government or the Imans. They do not live in a democracy. Any person who claims to be Christian should feel empathy for the poor and the lost of any country, of any religion, especially when they are held in fear and poverty.

Don s, you might like to turn the question around and ask peaceful Christians what they think of this. God bless.

Answer 3

I'm not muslim, but I think these people who believe in killing over such a simple slight need to move on and get a real life, maybe take a hard look at the hate they bring into life and show others who they call intolerant.

Answer 4

From what I have seen and read about Muslims on a daily basis I have to say I am upset with them as a whole.

Muslims just want blood and it doesn't matter whose it is, including their own. Yet they will turn to you and swear to you they are peaceful as the wipe the blood off their hands.

People on here have claimed things like the muslims we are hearing about are a small group and have even likened them to the few "chrsitians" that have bombed abortion clinics.

To me that is just ignorant to claim that. Daily we see and hear about more violence in the name of Islam then we ever have heard about clinic bombings. In fact I don't think we have had one in about 20 years.

The sheer amount of violence in the name of islam proves that this isn't limited to a small group of radicals. There are whole countries of Muslims that act and feel the same way as the group that wants to kill a school teacher that simply named a childs toy muhamed.

I don't trust any of them and frankly I think the world would be more peaceful without them.

Show me a news article about something good that has been acomplished by muslims. Do they help other countries or just drag everyone down to their level?

Please prove me wrong. Send me any recent news that shows that muslims offer something to other countries.

Answer 5

I wish that individuals take discover of the hyperlinks you put up. Tear gasoline and rubber bullets used on peaceable protestors is disgusting. I agreed with the protestors besides, however even supposing I did not, that is bad. (as an apart - that is one rationale why two-social gathering politics is this kind of unhealthy process. Each social gathering demands handiest to be marginally bigger than the opposite to get your vote. One social gathering assaults you, the opposite one demands handiest to assault you moderately much less significantly to get elected. It's flawed). And good performed to Rev Dr Giles Fraser.

Answer 6

We can't be a judge, that is Gods Job, Jesus did not go around and tell people they were not right, Jesus told people what was right, Jesus led people, did not condemn them, we can spread the word, and treat each other with respect, Jesus Christ told us to love our enemies and pray for them.

Answer 7

My Teddy Bear is named Mohamed, do you think they will all come to kill me now?

Answer 8

i am a christian myself and think is time to respect others just like yourself no matter their religions or race, this will serve as a lesson to others who don't show respect in different cultures and religions. british and americans know already that when they go anywhere in the world, every step they make is calculated cos the UKen the USA are hated for killing muslims and a threat to the world peace even though they claim to be democratic.

Answer 9

I cant wait to see the answers to this question. Good one.

Answer 10

The invasion of Iraq by the US/UK resulted in Sharia law now the top law of Iraq when it was secular before. Not one citizen in those nations have the right to complain about this incident.
