Moslem vs. Moslem

I went to check my Web-based mail today and was greeted by the following link: Suicide bombers strike Pakistan mosque, seminary (AP).

I am accustomed to Islamic rage when a non-Moslem kills or injures a Moslem and I can sympathize with some whose relatives are collateral causalities of war.

But I wonder why there is no Moslem outcry when Moslems kill Moslems.

The AP article went on:

LAHORE, Pakistan – Friday prayers had just ended when the suicide bomber walked into the seminary office of a popular anti-Taliban cleric and detonated his explosives.

The scenes of carnage Friday — the bombing was echoed within minutes at a mosque elsewhere in Pakistan — have become far too familiar in the violence-plagued country, and took the count of suicide bombings to five in eight days.

 

Genocide Against Muslims
Gadi Taub blog
September 27th, 2006

On the Jewish New Year’s Eve, Ma’ariv’s senior journalist Ben-Dror Yemini, published the first installment of a three part series about media representation of the Arab-Israeli conflict worldwide. The piece was entitled And the World is Silent. Yemini, a long time leftist, and supporter of Palestinian independence, has nevertheless been outraged, quite rightly, by the way that the criticism of Israel’s occupation, which he shares, has seeped, especially in Europe, into a wild array of attempts at delegitimizing the right of Jews to self-determination.

A central part of these attempts is the persistent myth about systematic “genocide” allegedly committed by Israel against Muslims in general and Palestinians in particular. Yemini did a simple thing: he collected the available numbers – they are staggering indeed – of Muslims murdered during the years of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Some 10,000,000 (ten million!) Muslims were murdered, by the more conservative estimations. But only about 0.6% of these deaths were caused by the Arab-Israeli conflict itself. Read again: about half a percent. Here’s one finding from the margins of Yemini’s research: France is responsible for about ten times more Muslim deaths than Israel during the same years. Not something your average newspaper reader in Europe is likely to guess.

• Israel is responsible for about 60,000 Muslim deaths (all its wars and the occupation included).
• The USA is responsible for about 70,000.
• France is responsible for about half a million (in the 1950s alone, by the most conservative estimate).
• Russia (along with the former Soviet Union) over one million.
• About 8.5 million Muslims were murdered by Muslim regimes, internal Arab civil wars, and Arab tribal ethnic cleansing.

Al Qaeda Addresses Muslim Deaths
Thursday, November 10, 2005

CAIRO, Egypt — In an apparent response to Jordanians who took to the streets to call for its leader to "burn in hell," Al Qaeda in Iraq took the rare step Thursday of trying to justify the triple suicide bombings that killed 56 people, mostly Arabs.

Al Qaeda's response: "Let all know that we have struck only after becoming confident that they are centers for launching war on Islam and support the crusaders' presence in Iraq and the Arab peninsula and the presence of the Jews on the land of Palestine," the group said.

Zarqawi justifies Muslim deaths
AFP 2005-05-18 16:34

Dubai - Anti-US attacks in Iraq which also kill Muslim civilians, do not violate Islamic law, al-Qaeda's feared frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said in a purported tape posted on the internet on Wednesday.

The recording emerged as the US military said that leaders close to Zarqawi had ordered a recent car bombing campaign that has killed hundreds in Iraq.

Sadly, murder of Moslems by non-Moslems also occurs, but in case anyone wonders why, read on.

 

Alameda County, California
Saturday, October 21, 2006

Killed Thursday by a single bullet to the head as she walked with her 3-year -old daughter on a well-to-do residential street, she was distinguished by a hijab, the head scarf worn by some devout Muslim women. The Afghan immigrant had no purse or money on her, family members said.

Local Muslim leaders and the victim's relatives attributed blame to an American culture of violence, propagated through movies and video games that reward players for killing. In addition, they said things such as talk radio, politicians and religious zealotry by some Christians had focused on Muslims since the Sept. 11 attacks.

What religion decapitates people before TV cameras? Islam.

What religion preaches hatred of all who are not one of its followers? Islam.

What religion kills its own people who dare to be different? Islam.

I will NOT claim that all Moslems are murders; I know it is not the case. But I will take exception when I'm told that Islam is a "peaceful" religion.

From what I see daily in the news, this can't be true.

Every religion has its extremists, but few - at least in the Western world - go about promoting murder of their coreligists or even of people outside the fold.

Only Islam.

The "bottom line" question then is: Why are Moslems so quiet when Moslems kill Moslems and absolutely silent when Moslems kill non-Moslems, but so vocal when a Moslem is killed by a non-Moslem.

Double standard, anyone?
