Need for a little liberalism
by Amit Shesh on Aug 30, 2005 10:26 AM   Permalink

A nice article and quite frank. I always knew there were a lot of Muslims who had these opinions but never really saw a lot of articles frankly saying so.



The trouble with acting against "root causes" is that very soon the action becomes larger than the root cause. What starts out as aggression towards the aggressor quickly becomes general enmity with whosoever disagrees.It is important to keep disagreements to root causes and not fight those who disagree with you but mean well. A lot of muslims have an "us and them" attitude towards the world that often translates into "believers and infidels".



As far as Muslim condemnation not getting a voice, the media, especially western, have to be taken with a pinch of salt as they are much more one-sided and sensationalized than they think. In today's world attach a mushroom cloud or Islam to anything and everybody listens.
