Inflaming Fury
reporter: Jonathan, 17.2.06
I saw a headline in the Herald today - Photos "will inflame muslim fury"This is refering to photos of Iraqis who have been bound up, forced to stand bent over, etc by western troops in Iraq.
Why is it quite normal and accepted that Muslims will get angry and riotous because of actions against their Culture, But we have to be tolerant?!?! Why are we labelled as 'Intolerant' and 'Racist' if we even make a broad factual statement in reference to the Muslim Culture and yet muslims, so it seems, are quite within their rights to murder others because of some cartoons?!?!
I'm not wanting to encourage western troops to abuse Iraqis! I don't know exactly what's going on. And I'm not for attacking muslims for fun! But how many videos do we have of Muslims beheading westerners? or storys of muslims attacking christians and westerners... and what?... nothing... no anger... no riots? Sure we should not be intolerant for the sake of it... but it's not ultimately the Muslims who are wanting us to be tolerant of them, although I'm sure they do. It's our dumb politically correct culture. Why can't we flaming stand up for ourselves with out being victimised by our own culture!
I heard a quote recently which seems as though it applies to our Western Culture:-

It's an observation. Western culture is commiting suicide because it is trying to tolerate intolerance.

Western Culture due to policical correctness has lost the ability to stand up for itself. The result of not standing up for youself is quite obvious.

Thats also because the majority of islamics who understand that a literal view of the quaran leads to war, decide to exclude those who do the beheading as unislamic fanatics. And the rest of the world happily buys that cop out.
If they were to take the Quaran literally they'd be 'killing the unbeliever' if they evangelise and the people refuse to convert. Exactly why in pakistan the churches are being burned and the pastors murdered.
They have a nice cricket team tho... (raaa!)

It's not really a huge problem with the death of western culture in and of itself. Western Culture is by no means perfect. The problem is with the culture that is waiting in the wings to replace it!

Yes it is long. But it is well worth your time reading.

I am a little confused by what you mean. You said that Muslims attack Christians and there is no anger or riots. Do you mean that lack of anger and riots is a good thing or a bad thing or was it just an observation?
