Muslem Silence
When an extremist Muslim group sends armed terrorists to viciously murder innocent Israeli citizens, like the attack in the Hadera market yesterday, when a suicide bomber blew himself up, murdering 5 innocent citizens, the Muslim world remains silent. When a dangerous terrorist like Louey Saadi, responsible for a number of terrible and frightening suicide bombings and abominable terrorist attacks against innocent Jews, roams the streets, Muslims throughout the world remain silent, probably content with his beastly actions. When he is killed by Israeli security forces, making Israelis of all religions and opinions safer, the Muslim world, instead of rejoicing that a murderous villain, that has taken part in so many horrific atrocities has been wiped from our world, Muslims suddenly become loud and motivated, claiming how aggressive Israel is, and how their finest woman and baby murderer has been killed by those monstrous Jews that should all be wiped out during the Jihad destruction of Israel. There is no Muslim that I have heard condemning this brutal murderer, Saadi. One may think that I am a fanatic, or dislike Muslims. First, I respect all religions and faiths, as long as they don't cause suffering to others. I have friends of many faiths and political beliefs, but I will never tolerate those that talk of violence or spew hatred. Secondly, all one has to do is read the words spoken by the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Wednesday, that Israel should be 'wiped off the map." Or in other words: Establishment of Israel offensive move; Islamic nation will not let its historic enemy live in its midst.
Where are the Muslim's now? Why don't they speak up against such aggressive and frightening rhetoric? Why are Muslims silent?
My answer is that an enormous number of Muslims throughout the world have an intrinsic hatred of Israel and the Jewish people, many of those that live in Western countries feel it is politically unfit to spout out death to Israel and its Jews, so they remain silent. There are many Muslims that do want peace, and do not want Israel wiped out, but those are the minority, and if they remain silent, it will be very difficult and almost impossible to destroy world terrorism, and change the dangerous course our civilised world is taking. Most of those Muslims that do have logical and warm hearts that are not stained with hatred and religious intolerance, also sadly remain silent whilst the earth rumbles with the disastrous acts their brothers are making.
Muslims, throughout the world, you are champions of silence, and experts in the art of rhetoric hatred towards Israel and its people, now is the time to change your tune, to talk of peace and love of all faiths and nations, and stand up tall and proud in your disgust and opposition to any terrorism wherever it may take place.
