So I suppose we’re supposed to lap it up, express our fawning gratitude that “Sir, it is reassuring to know there are people like you in the world”, and go back to our daily bread thinking it’s been a good day for the ‘infidels’?
Does this or any Muslim imagine we ‘infidels’ are supposed to be bought off by the scribblings of one lone Muslim out of 1.2 billion?
Apparently he’d have some evidence that feckless commentary such as the exhibit above works for quite a few infidels — witness all those fawning above in debased gratitude.
Where are his arguments that the “radicals” actually have Islam wrong? Where’s his argument that he and not they can give the proper interpretation of Islam, the better interpretation which will permit Islam to co-exist with the other 4.8 billion people of earth?
It’s sadly missing as it’s sadly missing from every Muslim commentary which appears or sounds moderate…
So one moderate sounding/appearing Muslim speaks up at long last, but as is also nearly always the case — this Muslim is once again making his point to the infidels and not his 1,999,9999,999 fellow Muslims. Why?
What we get from the Muslims, rather than reformation, rather than confrontation with the supposed perverters of their “religion, what we always observe is that the Muslim unicorns emerge from the forest to tell us how bad they feel about it all, but I can’t help but notice quite a bit in this tiresome pattern:
1. Why does he only speak out when he’s been humiliated beyond tolerance, not humilated by the 100s of thousands of murders conducted by his supposedly morally superior government, but after a “teddy bear blasphemy” … the mention of the slaughter certainly appears like an afterthought here, one to make his pleading more creditable…
2. aside from their extremely rare appearances, these same Muslim unicorns only emerge in large gatherings of infidels, never in large gatherings of Muslims. Why? On the rare occasion of their emerging, they then regale the ‘infidels’ with the hideousness of those who distort Islam and embarrass Islam and succeed in “making Islam look utterly ridiculous”. Again — where are the substantive arguments to counter the hideous literal interpretation of their primitive creed?
THAT argument is even more elusive than the moderate seeming Muslim unicorn — for I have never seen its like. Never.
