THE RIOTING IN France by primarily Muslim youths and the hotel bombings in Jordan are the latest events to prompt sincere questions that law-abiding Muslims need to answer for Islam's sake, as well as for the sake of worried non-Muslims.
Here are five of them:
(1) Why are you so quiet?
Since the first Israelis were targeted for death by Muslim terrorists blowing themselves up in the name of your religion and Palestinian nationalism, I have been praying to see Muslim demonstrations against these atrocities. Last week's protests in Jordan against the bombings, while welcome, were a rarity. What I have seen more often is mainstream Muslim spokesmen implicitly defending this terror on the grounds that Israel occupies Palestinian lands. We see torture and murder in the name of Allah, but we see no anti-torture and anti-murder demonstrations in the name of Allah.
There are a billion Muslims in the world. How is it possible that essentially none have demonstrated against evils perpetrated by Muslims in the name of Islam? This is true even of the millions of Muslims living in free Western societies. What are non-Muslims of goodwill supposed to conclude? When the Israeli government did not stop a Lebanese massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982, great crowds of Israeli Jews gathered to protest their country's moral failing. Why has there been no comparable public demonstration by Palestinians or other Muslims to morally condemn Palestinian or other Muslim-committed terror?
(2) Why are none of the Palestinian terrorists Christian?

Why indeed..Could be Islam is the problem?
bump
Nah. Poverty caused by non Muslisms...
Of course..Silly me.
For the most part there have been no attacks on people, but rather on property in France.
While both are muslims, until now, there has been no corelation between the two groups.
Not to say that the jihadists won't hijack the french rioters but to date, the tactics are NOT the same at all.
I've been waiting since the Oslo Accords.
Israel gave up land won by blood and iron- in exchange for empty promises from a known terrorist. And was rewarded with- more terror.
Enough's enough. The problem is Islam.
There are going to be some unhappy mullahs out there.
They hate the West. Why are they here ?
They may not have the same tactics, or results, but their anger and violence is from the same root cause.
OOOOH I know! Pick me! Pick me! *raises hand and waves it around wildly*
It's the Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos!
The response to this will be that the author is a racist.

It is not reasonable to equate the rioting in France with the Jordanian bombings.
For the most part there have been no attacks on people, but rather on property in France.
IT's only a matter of time.
When are moderate muslims going to police their own and purge their ranks of the radical islamists amoung them? As far as I am concerned, if you are a muzzie, you are either with the radical islamists or you are against them. Take your pick. Where are the fatwahs agains bin laden, zawahiri, and al-zarqawi ? Where are the protest marches in the streets, candlelight vigils and full page newspapers ads denouncing radical islam and it's leaders? We are waiting. It's time to show your hand. It's time for the whole world to know which side you are on.
If white Germans were committing these same atrocities, the MSM would go insane.
