the atrocities committed by muslim terrorists has led to a rise in islamophobia here in the UK – http://tinyurl.com/o2xlm4g – and in other countries
a perception often voiced by those who use the ‘guilt by association’ line of thinking to blame all muslims for the actions of some terrorists is that such violent actions are sanctioned by the Quran – that Islam is an inherently, violent, aggressive religion, in contrast to the gentle, peace-loving religion that is Christianity
[those that believe that about Christianity should read some history!]
to bolster their argument that islam is a religion that promotes violence, those who hold this view often quote selected verses from the quran – but the same charge could be made also against the bible . . .
those promoting islamophobia should remember that the . . .
majority of ISIS victims have been muslims, not christians; the folk fighting ISIS, on the ground in Syria (e.g., Kurds, Free Syrian Army) – as opposed to those dropping a few bombs on them from a safe distance – are muslims, not Christians; and fostering fear and hatred between muslim and non-muslim citizens of the UK only does ISIS’s work
time for ‘Islamophobes’ to GROW UP !
