Islam and the Truth
December 6, 2007: Many
Moslem leaders simply dismiss reports of the Islamic violence. Despite
statistics showing Islamic militants instigating most of the religion based
violence in the world, many prominent Moslem religious and secular leaders
dismiss the idea that Islamic militants could be responsible. Even Moslem
leaders who admit to the facts in English, change their outlook when speaking
to their constituencies. The basic line is that Islam is under attack, and any
violence by Moslems is defensive, in order to protect their religion and way of
life. Islamic terrorism is dismissed as exaggerated and, where it does exist,
simply the result of Moslems responding to oppression. This belief in victimization by the infidel
(non-Moslem) world is a major factor in the continued popular support of
Islamic terrorism. That support only falters among Moslems who have themselves
been victims of that violence. And even that tends to be temporary. Take away
the Islamic terrorists, and people tend to forget reality real quick.
