Only some in the Muslim world condemn ISIS
The Islamic world’s reaction to the ISIS persecution of non-Muslims is decidedly mixed.
This sentence from the link sums the situation up nicely:
At the same time that Islamic religious leaders are mostly silent on the genocide, Islamic political leaders have spoken out.
It appears that Islamic political leaders have generally been forthright in condemning ISIS’s actions, something that we should take heart from. Islam’s religious leaders however have taken a more partisan stand, worrying that ISIS’s actions might harm Islam and thus condemning it for that reason. That Christians and other non-Muslims might be murdered however does not seem to be a concern for these Islamic religious leaders.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

People in Arabic countries have no confidence in their political leaders, who all want moderate islam. It was a big mistake to get rid of Saddam Hussein. And starting a third invasion in Iraq now will only make things worse. Best thing to do now is to let the pre-ww1 Ottoman empire be resurrected as a united islamic state. Iraq has never been a nation state, it has been an occupied territory with random borders for 100 years now.
We in the west keep calling for the moderate islamists to rise up and argue against the Jihadis and terrorists. I’m getting the feeling thats as futile as calling for the moderate Germans before WW-II to rise up and throw out the democratically elected Nazi’s.
:(
Mark Twian ones said history never repeats itself, but it often rhymes. Can’t say I’m fond of this tune.
Simmer.. I didn’t see single right wing christian , or Jewish Condom to Israel persecution of Palestinian civilians.ancient
Or how about the Original million moslem march on Washington
To protest Radical Islam……
350 reporters, photogs, and producers…..
56 Moslems…….
Fair numbers. Radicals too moderate islamists!
One sect of Islam is not allowed to speak against another sect of Islam.
It is for Allah to make that decision not us.
They are also told by the Koran not to believe anyone who speaks against Islam or a sect of Islam and uses the words of the Book against them.
So even if you find arguments and contradictions in the Book they will NEVER listen.
The writers of the book wanted to make sure that only the strong and aggressive survived and no one would be able to speak against their written words.
Allah is all seeing, all knowing and truly wise. He would never need to place those safeguards into the Book knowing that those who truly believe would never doubt their faith in him.
He would know that simple discussions and debates would NEVER lessen the strength of his words.
Allah would also know that the strength of his words would be all that is needed to expand the numbers of his faithful and that the use of force or arms would never be needed.
Allah spoke truth and Mohammad might have received those words in full and true form but those who wrote them down a hundred years later could have been wrong.
Or could have been adding things never intended, or left out much of what Allah said.
If Islam can never have an internal discussion about itself then its a dead end religion unable to change with time and society.
Any faith or mindset refusing even to consider admitting internal debates exist, has a nasty short future ahead of it.
