It’s ridiculous when people tell Muslims to tell ISIS to stop as if we have authority over them. Amirite? (Yeah I’m gonna go up to a terrorist group that’s known for beheading Muslims and ask them to stop, and they’ll magically listen to me. Uhhhh no. They don’t even respect human life so why in the world would they listen to little ol’ me?)

Sure. By the same token, it's ridiculous to blame Americans for the actions of their military, since the government's foreign policy never meaningfully changes regardless of who is elected.

It's not about the average Muslim ... it's about Muslim nations. EG: Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc

Those nations have the power to squash hate groups ... but instead, either encourage them or ignore them. Where do you think ISIS started? Many of these groups start at religious schools sponsored by Muslim nations, and often have training camps within Muslim nations.

Now, it's one thing if a nation has "free speech" rights. America can't squash the KKK or Aryan Nations just because of what they say. > But these Muslim nations have NO such rights. So if they wanted to, they could squash these extremists. But they don't want to.

So here's how the rest of the world sees it:
Hate groups claim to be Muslim.
Islamic countries either endorse or ignore these groups actions.
Therefore, Islam must endorse such actions.

It doesn't help that the vast majority of Christians are so ignorant of their own Bible, they aren't aware of how homicidal it is.

It's even more ridiculously when you add that people claiming that appear to be completely ignoring the fact that Muslims are ISIS biggest target. But sure, Muslims are in on this, and they have any control over what terrorists do. We can see that by them running from their countries, and by their numbers of fatalities.

If we have a Muslim in power, sure, I expect that Muslim to speak up, to show they're not supportive of such actions. If you have a plataform, an audience looking up to you, I do think you have to address the issue. It's the same I expect from White people in power when White Supremacists do shit. But I automatically assume any white/Muslism average person doesn't agree with this shit, since to me it's common sense if you live in a society to not be supportive of shit that ruins that society, so no, I don't expect a telegram telling me how each and every average Joe disagrees with the extremists views. If you end up defending the psychopaths, though, no matter who you are, you deserve what is coming for you if the public discovers that.

I've made more posts in a single day today (3 posts) than I have in the entire year of 2017 (1 post).

I think this simple picture explains things pretty well, not only for this side but for all.

"It’s ridiculous when people tell Muslims to tell ISIS to stop as if we have authority over them."

If it is true that only a tiny minority of Muslims, say 1 in 10,000, are terrorists, do you mean to tell me that the other 9,999 can't exert authority over them by force if necessary, since that is the only thing terrorists understand? Particularly since most of the Muslim terrorists' victims are other Muslims?

So yes, it is ridiculous merely to tell them to stop. Muslims have to MAKE them stop, if indeed the vast majority is so inclined.

fucking idiotic

Hmmm, I don't buy it Fuzz.

I mean you're NOT with a terrorist group known for beheading anyone. You're in the USA. You're in perfect safety whining about how people would like Islam to decry against terrorism.

I mean, wouldn't it make sense for Muslims to berate terrorism for what it is? In addition to letting terrorists know that their fellow Muslims do not support them, it sends a clear message to those outside of Islam too!

It's not a question of you going up to "ask" them, but rather taking to the streets to protest for killing in the name of a religion that they have twisted.

I feel ya, been telling my government to stop murdering people for ages but they don't listen either.

And they're supposed to be my representatives. So...

I am so glad you can poke fun at this serious topic, fuzala. But then again you usually find humor in matters that make sane people throw up.

The bad people should be ostracised and kicked out of every society. They start someplace so the majority needs to pick them out and eliminate them before they become involved in isis . Same thing goes for the bad people in USA who shoot up schools. Watchers be it government or religious gatherings, we all need to be on the look out for killers.

because it's very likely
