Some thoughts on this one:
came across this quote only few days ago. This is a truth staring into our faces, and I cannot help making a remark.

When we were younger, we had seen many radical muslims with all these staunch ideas, throwing takfeer at others and what not. Debates, arguments and disrespectful behavior.

Their speech was hurtful and their actions were likewise.

Many, the wise and elder amongst us advised forbearance and patience. They said its of no avail to argue with them. They should be left alone. I am sure those people could have never imagined this radicalism will take such an ugly face and go to such henious extreme.
They should have been stopped from corrupting the young minds.

Just some unorganized thoughts ...

CH, I do not intend to spoil your thread. Please excuse me.

"My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular."

'The stigma attached to cowardice has caused terrible harm, most obviously to those who have been made to pay for the alleged �crime�. Less obvious, but more pervasive, is the damage done by people who, fearing the shame of cowardice, have acted in reckless, often violent ways. Remembering this should make us less ready to use the label of �coward�, especially in the case of someone refusing to use violence�� Chris Walsh
