Re: It's unfortunate. ironclad Send a noteboard - 30/08/2010 09:51:10 AM
The blame should be put on those imams and Muslims who use mosques and Islamic centers as recruitment and training grounds for terrorists, because had they never done that, no one would be worried about it now to the point that they're ready to burn the place down.

I wouldn't say the blame for getting their mosque torched is on them. That's a bit crazy. I agree that the peaceful Islam community could speak up more loudly against the black sheep among them, though. But see my last sentence below.

Quite frankly, what Islam is lacking is an honest assessment of blame. Should Westerners be blamed for their fear, or should Muslim blame the Muslims who attempt to instill it?

Westerners can't be blamed for their fear. But they can be blamed for going out and actually attacking what they fear, instead of thinking twice if they are actually hitting the right target.
Thinking in extremes will always cause fear and anger, things are not that easy in today's world.

Also, each time Islam is trying to a build a community center where they can teach and educate about the real ways of the religion, people get picky about the location

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
