A fair few actually do but since its often within their own communities its not reported on very often. Actually, the most recent idiot who blew himself up in Manchester got kicked out of his Mosque for being too radical and the folk in the Mosque rang up the terrorist cops and said "this kid is nuts!!" but, I guess nobody was paying attention.

@Theosis: BB is the type of woman who hunts incessantly for instances of microaggressions to beat up her society. Yet in the face of real atrocity and real human rights abuses she's all too ready to turn away with apologist nonsense

@Theosis: Not if you're only getting your news from sources who aren't interested in reporting when clerics and community leaders [b]have[/b] spoken out against such acts.

It is an interesting thought.
There are endless videos of raging extremist 'clerics' publicly calling for all sorts of attrocities. Yet you never see a moderate one. In public, declaring the opposite.
I wonder if this is out of fear of being singled out by the more extremist element ?
Media also has a big role to play.
Western media is more likely to show the extremist rather than the moderate.
That's as true of Western religion and politics as it is of Eastern !

I think ayatollahs lead the shia population. (Shia linguistically means group that broke away from the main stream - if I remember correctly).

Let's do an experiment and publish some cartoons of Mohhamed, do a billboard against Islam - that will bring the Muslim crowds out protesting. People will be killed.
That's what will bring the crowds out. Not Manchester or any other terrorist attack done in the name of their religion.

If I may, go do something else more interesting. Bitterly studying news is a poison and rotter of the mind and the intellect. You can be better then your actions.

@Faerylight: Just this conversation. Little girls being blown up isn't in my power to control. And criticizing it hardly amounts to anything more then bitterness. Righteousness is hardly ever born through criticism of anything other then yourself.

@twistedrope: You think anyone will ever love you more than you do?

@Allelse: Unfortunately yes. But love without understanding is hollow.
