Why are moderate Muslims such a silent majority?

[Dan]

Bismillah.

The killing of innocent people is condemned in the Qur'an. The way I see it is that if you say you follow the Qur'an then you also condemn such attacks.

We must also ask ourselves though why these attacks are even occurring. I mean what is causing people to go against the God given desire against suicide? In our society we keep looking at the symptoms of problems and not the causes. We also keep trying to treat the symptoms and not cure the disease. The reports include death tolls and play-by-plays of what happened but rarely do we get a report of why this is even happening. "For freedom" is not an answer, either. Freedom from what? If one is seeking freedom, then one feels oppressed in some manner. Unfortunately, the history books gather dust and rational thought processes are being eliminated in the schools. The best education I recieved was the ability to educate myself. Learning to learn. Feel free to ask anything else and if I do not cover an aspect of your question then please let me know. I appreciate your desire to ask and know unlike many who hear and never question.

Peace
