A Statement On The Beheading!

[Ibn_Kumuna35]

as salam alykom
Ibn I think u r not also getting what we are trying to say here, try re reading my post at least.


U decided to judge the death of one person, rather than looking into military forces occupying I would not say Muslim land. Just any land, what do u expect of the native people. That is if the beheading is happening. why all people look at the symptoms, discuss the consequences without giving much concern to the cause of the problem? why dont u as an american, and other american muslims rather than condemning the beheading, simply put pressure on the government to withdraw from Iraq... I would not even mention Palsetine here, it is totally an independant situation.


Ibn re think to yourself, I experienced u to be more logical than this.

Salaam Alaikum


I am certainly adamant that I have clear hindsight of who I'm condemning; no bones about that. My sole condemnation goes to those bloody behead-o-philes who make mockery of Islam by avenging the imprisonment of the Al-Qaeda members with the treacherous decapitation of Paul Johnson, along with others. My berating tone is by no means a congratulation of the military occupation in Iraq, nor is it a unitary effort to "minimize" what went (goes) on there. I, like a significant percentage of Americans, avidly protested the war on Iraq and continue to do so with “unfatiguable” effort. Nonetheless, as deeply concerned Muslim, I am grossly disturbed--nay horrified and sick-- that these men (women?) took the life of an innocent man while in the same vein claim to be relinquishing justice for Islam.


Again, we Muslims must be unequivocal in our rhetoric and lash out at the injustice that is done in the name of our faith. Funny, we can condemn Israel, America, and Britain for their transgression--but when butchery is done in the name of Islam by fellow Muslims, we play a deflection game and retort to the infinitive logic of victimhood (Had it not been for the colonizing West and the amoral Zionists we’d be a great religion once more).


Mere silence will do nothing, and to perpetuate the silence is to forever misunderstand the gravity of such an offense. Don’t wait for <i>others</i> to condemn the acts. Beyond Ariel Sharon, George Bush, Tony Blair and Co. <i>others</i> are willing to paint a happy face on anything and everything as if nothing happened at all. Lets be Muslims and take the initiative ourselves to condemn the acts for what they were and make something worthy out of the Muslim religion. It is our duty and obligation to exterminate terrorism unflinchingly wherever it rears its audacious and loathsome head. That, my friends, is the way of a true Muslim.
