mrphI've seen this blog entry linked from various places, some of them on LJ. It's a little more sophisticated than some of the predictable comments on the Yahoo message boards, but it's still bullshit. This bit in particular:
So the only true muslims are the people planting bombs and those who would, on some level, like to see us dead or gone? Right. Isn't that a bit like saying that the only true Christians are the ones who follow every crazy comment in Leviticus and have homicidal views on shellfish?
Some of the casualties were muslim, I'm sure. And, of course, there are the various speakers from mosques and the Muslim association of Britain who've been condemning this in no uncertain terms. By this logic, none of them are muslims either. Which is news to them, and probably more than a little insulting - since when did the Christians get to decide who is and isn't really a muslim? Hey, how about we let the Buddhists decide which branch of Christianity is the one true Christian path, then? Makes about as much sense.
Don't dignify these bastards by saying they're the only true muslims. That just helps to prop up their delusions of grandeur.
How about we say they're a bunch of murderous ratfucks who'll be spending the rest of their lives in a cosy British jail cell once the police catch up with them? 'Cos that sounds a lot better to me.
And deep in the heart of every true Muslim, one that follows the word of Allah as spoken by Muhammed to the letter, they want us dead or gone.Someone just doesn't get it, and from the sound of it neither do the people who are eagerly linking to this.
It's the ones who don't follow the teachings strictly and have assimilated who show any sense of tolerance, understanding, or comprimise. They are the ones who we should tolerate.
