You seem to be implying even those lovely work mates of yours are fascistic genocide supporters. Which if true makes me wonder - did you ask them? Or did you just twist their words around and pretend they said it? Or, as I suspect is more likely, did you never actually broach the subject with them and are now just happy to bundle them in the 'fascist genocide supporter' basket along with every other muslim you have never heard say anything about genocide? That, by the way, is what I mean by dehumanizing people. Basically, this seems like a funny rhetorical question to ask from someone who at best would attest to maybe 3 or 4 muslims in the whole world who apparently support it. Effectively you're saying "I have personally heard 3 or 4 muslims out of 1.5 billion supporting genocide - therefore it is inconceivable that there exists a single one of them who doesn't support it. You see the EFFECT of fascist, murderous Islamic jihadists barbarism every day across the world. BTW, most of them are educated and affluent. So it's no revolt of the dispossessed and marginalised. Quite so. Jihadist terrorism these days is the lot of educated rich kids. To me, that's the most enigmatic fact in all this. And no, It's hardly Muslim piety. The majority are recent converts to jihadism. What could possibly motivate someone like a doctor to blow themselves up? The afterlife is given more allure than the present? How many people think that? Who suicides for religion? It's not suicide to them. It's martyrdom. So how can killing innocent people in church possibly be martyrdom? There's no war on. They aren't defending anybody. There has to be some logic to this. We've already seen where Moses' interpretations are well off the mark. As G has shown, no Muslims he knows could possibly condone acts like these. Yet they do it time and time again. Blowing themselves up in schools, churches. A few nasty tripwires in Islam eh? Most are in wars, I get that. Not the random victims, but the struggle. You see people you know getting tortured and killed by a guy like Assad and it gets personal. But exporting your "war" to a place like Sri Lanka with no animousity I can see against Muslims, and it can't possibly be seen as Martyrdom. These aren't the poor downtrodden, they're a wealthy spice family. They would never have had to struggle all that much - unlike, say, the Tamils. Muslims in Sri Lanka are often merchants and landowners. Many came from Malaysia to work as civil servants (and labourers) under the British. There's a story about this family that's much more complicated than I blame Islam. I'm interested in that. I'd also like to know how they can justify it to themselves.
