Not all Muslims are terrorists; many are the first victims of Islamism. Many Muslims and ex-Muslims have risked their lives and limbs to protest Muslim-on-Muslim and Muslim-men-on-Muslim-women atrocities.
Nevertheless, while all Muslims are not terrorists, most terrorists today are Muslims who
a) are practicing their own versions of 7th century Islam and have instituted Sharia as sovereign law in their nations;
b) have “hijacked” what could, if reformed, become a modern and more tolerant religion;
c) are totalitarian madmen who mean to terrify and subordinate large populations and indoctrinate impoverished male children and young men as well as women to take up arms and perform martyrdom operations in a Holy War against the Infidels in order to establish a global Caliphate;
d) are radical fundamentalist extremists, no different than other fundamental extremists.
In the first five months of 2014, Muslim terrorist attacks have been launched in 36 countries: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Central African Republic (CAR), Chechnya, China, Dagestan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti , Egypt, Ghana, India, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, the United States, and Yemen.
However, if you read The New York Times you will not have this perspective.
You will have been informed, day after day, that Israel is a genocidal, apartheid state--
not that Sudan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Afghanistan are;
that Muslims are being persecuted, falsely accused, singled out in hate crimes and entrapped by the police to report on mosque activities both in Europe and in the United States; that individual acts of terrorism aka “Sudden Jihad Syndrome” are always the acts of lone madmen and must be classified as “workplace violence as was Dr. Nidal Hassan’s massacre at Ft Hood;” that conservative Christians are even greater terrorist threats than Muslims are.
On May 13, 2014, Steven Emerson, had to pay for a full page ad in the Times in order to say all this.
By May 23, Emerson had attracted criticism for running an “Islamophobic” ad. Not surprisingly, his main critic was CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations.
Islamic terrorism is not the only subject missing in action.
Over the years, the Paper of Record has covered honor killings in India when they are committed by Hindus. According to studies in this area, Hindus do perpetrate vicious honor killings for caste-related reasons and they sometimes kill boys as well as girls. Hindus do not tend to bring this tribal/ethnic/cultural/religious custom with them when they immigrate to the West.
Mainly, Muslims, and some Sikhs do. Muslims also honor kill for different and for more varied reasons.
Muslims mainly kill girls and women, not boys and men.
The NYT has failed to report most of the honor killings that have occurred in the United States, possibly because they have mainly been committed by Muslims.
To their credit, the Times has increasingly been covering the relentless “tribal” barbarism against girls and women in Muslim Southeast and Central Asia and in Africa, as well as honor related crimes in Afghanistan.
Does everyone now understand that Muslims consider all children “Muslims” who are born to a Muslim father?
This is precisely the reason the Sudanese government is claiming the right to execute a woman whose father was Muslim, who abandoned the family, whose mother is Christian, and who raised her daughter as a Christian?
By that same logic President Obama’s father was a Muslim. That's why Muslims consider the
president a Muslim!
He is seen as a Muslim by religious Muslims!
