The concept of the picture is the same as the Western quote used endlessly in times of trouble....'God moves in mysterious ways !' A meaningless statement used to try and placate those questioning why so many lose their lives in natural disasters if there were a God who could have saved them!
As for the idea of random anonymous Muslim folk stating, online, their disassociation with an act carried out by others claiming to be Muslim! It's not enough!
Anytime I see news footage of (youll notice. Its ALWAYS young(supposedly) Muslim men, screaming and yelling in the street, following ANOTHER killing, another bombing, another act that deprives families of their loved ones! You know the first thought that goes through my mind?
It's not hatred! It's not anger!
It's DO YOUR PARENTS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW ?
Do they SUPPORT what you're doing right now ?
Do THEY agree with what just happened?
And if so, why aren't THEY stood NEXT to you??
And if they DON'T, Where are they?
Where is the news coverage of ANTI extremism demonstrations??
Do they even exist?
It just seems to me that if those considered moderate (I humbly apologise for using terms like moderate, extremist, etc. because they don't reflect accurately how people FEEL. But they demonstrate two ends of the discussion!) Stood up and said, LOUDLY, accross the SAME media platforms!! YOU ARE NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS REFLECTING THE MAJORITY!!!
Then, maybe, they too would be as clearly heard.
