Hypocrites and Hypocrisy… Muslim leadership?
It should come as no surprise that pastor Terry Jones of Florida has finally carried out his threat to burn a copy of the Qur’an. After a mock trial the Qur’an was found to be guilty of crimes against humanity. This mock trial also found other charges to bring dishonor upon the book. It took 8 min. for the Qur’an to be reduced to ashes. There are many politically correct individuals who have called for Terry Jones to be charged with a hate crime. This would be a misuse of the hate crimes legislation. The world condemns the man and ridicules his little flock in Florida. They ask how can such an evil be allowed to continue?
One pastor in Florida has made a political statement by burning the Qur’an and the world condemns him. How could a person be so base, so full of hatred and call himself a Christian. How could he do what the world considers to be such a despicable act? Now comes the hypocrisy, those professors of light… that wrap the world in a dark cloak, and show their black hearts aimed at Christians and those of other faiths.
The reaction to this book burning in Afghanistan was a march that turned into a riot. A UN compound was overrun and many of the occupants were beaten, maimed, killed by Muslims. The Iranian government has launched an attack against the West in its presses. They condemn not only that pastor but the American government as well.
In Iran one of the presses was closed because they had the audacity to print that the government of Iran had just recently burned 600 copies of the Bible. Where is the out cry of the world against such an act? Where are the voices of the politically correct calling for the world, the UN, to charge the government of Iran with hate crimes against humanity? At least Terry Jones took a copy of the Qur’an that he owned to burn. The Iranian government however took those 600 Bibles from the hands of practicing Christians in their own country.
In general it appears that Muslims are thin skinned. It also appears, in general, that Muslims are willing to commit acts against other religious believers that they would howl if committed against them. This is the result of a darkened heart. Now am I saying that the Qur’an is bad and that Islam itself is evil? If I had to judge, on the basis of the acts perpetrated by those who are followers of Islam, the answer would then be yes. Why? Because, as Muslim communities continue to allow the radicalization of their religion to continue, the acts of the radicals and their misfit followers will only get worse. It is their acts, and their acts alone, that has turned so many people against the Qur’an and the prophet. The evil they do under the sun brings a stain to the name of Allah. When Jews misbehave, when Christians misbehave, the name of God is blasphemed. When Muslims misbehave, and do not live according to the Qur’an but by some twisted perversion of the words of the prophet, then is it any surprise that more and more people find Islam a perverted religion and blaspheme the name of their God.
Are we intolerant of Islam? In general, no! But we will not tolerate criminal acts perpetrated against others in the name of some religion. In the Arab and Persian nations all religions are suppressed, their followers are made second class citizens, they are harassed, they are beaten, they are killed and their meeting places are burned or bombed. It is not the Christians, nor the West, that are the intolerant ones. It is the Muslim leaders: religious, governmental and “the movement,” that are the intolerant ones. They are the ones that are full of hate while professing a love of God.
It is up to the more tolerant Muslims to fight against this abuse, done in the name of Allah. If not, they will be drawn into the path of evil… Just the German people were slowly drawn into that aberration that was Nazism in the 1930’s. If you refuse to correct your fellow devotees, it will only be a matter of time when the world will respond with force against Islam. It is up to Muslim’s to reign in the abuses done by their fellow believers. It is up to you to reflect that true light of reason, that Mohammed was supposed to have written about, in the Qur’an. You must carry the burden to correct the abuses, the acts of barbarism, for they are being done on your behalf.
Will you stay silent?
If so… shame!
