What is wrong with Islamic thinking?

JohnDM

Thanks for your post.

First let me clarify a misunderstanding. You are mixing culture with Islam. They are not necessarily the same thing.

Islam is a set of principle given by God through the Prophets. It is as much relevant to you as a human being as to any other person living on the face of this planel. This post is not about Islam so I will not delve into this subject anymore.

If an Arab individual does something wrong it is foolish to blame principles of Islam. It is similar to blaming christianity for all the misdeeds of people who are christians.

Unfortunately there are too many people who mix culture with principles of Islam and believe they have a God given right to speak on behalf of Islam (without the knowing that there is no room for the kind of violence they pratice and teach).

Therefore I request you not to form opinion so quickly. Do some research and STOP Islam bashing.

Let me ask you some questions

Is it humane to hurt to feeling of millions of people by ridiculing their leaders"?

And does this represent the thinking of majority of the indiginous people you are referring to?

And is it the teaching of christianity to hurt others feeling like they have done"?

Regards

I partially agree with you. But donot forget the imperialists have their own henious designs. May be you can say more on one other thread called "Why dictators rule the Muslim Countries"

Islam thinks it has some God given right to migrate into a small country  like Denmark and not only live off and take that which the indigenous people have established but want to change that nations culture and religion.

Islam is not the issue here.. It is a clash of cultures and values of individual people. It is about many things.. fear and ignorance being two of them. The fact that papers published these 'cartoons' demonstrates irresponsibilty. Some people in this world WANT this conflict to continue. Who REALLY benefits from this conflict? Follow the money and you'll find the answer. And many people follow without a thought in the head. It is true in all type of movements.. look at any type of conflict and see what the masses were told.. be it in Germany/Europe before WWII, the US people about Vietnam, or the people of Rawanda before the genocide. Each person, no matter their religion has moral responsibilities to do what is right. This includes people in Denmark, US, Kuwait, China or Argentina. Given the current situation the newspapers should have refused to publish. They should have asked some Moslem leaders what would be the reaction.  They need to be smarter then this. Considering the reckless policy of the current US government threatens many people by creating fear and anger to publish this is irresponsible.

you know this brought me to thinking... I watched a piece on slavery and the making of America. And this educator was in Angola at a point where they rounded up Africans to be taken on the boats across the ocean. And there was the preacher/priest there to 'baptize' them before enslaving them and putting them on the boats.. Their participation in one of the worst atrocities in history is very clear. Is that the message of Christianity? Clearly not. .but people will use all types of things.. religion, nationality etc. to justify their actions.
