From a first time blogger, thoughts about life from an American missionary now living in the US after years in Russia and doing a lot of back and forth. Family stuff, Christian content, sports innuendo and lots of quotes from good books.

Something is outta whack here...

I'm a bit miffed over this fact...
  • Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage.
  • A Muslim attacks a missionary children's school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage.
  • Let's go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage
  • Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage.
  • Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage.
  • Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.
Outrage over a cartoon but silence in regards to the rest of this. I RARELY get political (especially on this blog) but I am mystified by the mainstream Muslim's community and their silence so many year's of terror. It is time for that respectable arm of Islamic faith to get a handle on those that represent the fringe element. The world is getting very tired of this nonsense. Maybe real change must be initiated from within.

I don't know you, but I find your post quite interesting and insightful.
It makes me think, though, what kind of list one could come up with when speaking about America, or Christianity, or capitalism, or...interesting, very interesting.

Rizzle, I think I know where you are going with that question. You can come up with a list of violent things concerning the Catholic church in the middle ages or the "Christian Crusades", but Christians everywhere condemn them for what they were, not Christian. As Rob says, we don't see mainstream Islam condemning all of these things he listed in any consistent manner and we should. The crusades and early Catholicism were aberations to most Christians today. The killing of innocents must stop.

i'm not exactly sure that the observation i'm about to make is accurate but this is my vibe from living in the "Muslim World" as an outsider:

Rich Islamic countries don't care very much about what the poor countries are doing...including the killing and dying those folks are enlisted to take part in for their religion.

Poor Islamic countries don't care very much about introspection. They're looking for a)survival and b)someone to blame for their plight.

What few Middle-Class Islamic countries there are don't like the rich countries because they're rich and they don't like the poor ones because they're poor.

In short, all of the Islamic countries tend to dislike and distrust one another and none of them are concerned with much beyond their own immediate interests.

This is not meant to be a comparison between Islam and Christianity...it's simple an observation of what I see around me in this rich Islamic nation that I live in.
