Hate Isn't The Way

[vekin]

found this online and wnated to share with you all...

If you're a muslim leader telling your community they have no place here or a non-muslim basically saying the same thing, then you're helping them.

I totally agree with this take while I abhor the terror tactics of ISIS - I agree a backlash against Islam pushes many muslims into the arms of ISIS - I believe it is better to deal with moderates and show that compromise/negotiation is the way forward - I live about 300 miles away from Northern Ireland a country torn apart by violence but I have seen the moderates force their way to the forefront and push extremists to the edges of society - I see the news everyday about what the powersharing executive is deciding in Northern Ireland everyday - To put this in context if you had talked to me in the mid 1980s when I was a teen and told me by the mid 1990s there would be a powersharing executive in Northern Ireland and a black majority government in South Africa that came to power peacefully, I would have told you that you were crazy - These two examples happened when people realised that the middle path was the way forward not polarising tactics that played into the hands of terrorists.

I appreciate this and don't quite get how ISIS thinks it's going to recruit Muslims when it actively kills many of them daily - they're fleeing the Middle East because of ISIS and what's going on in Syria.

I'm a Muslim and I would much rather practice Islam in the west than be with those people and their use of unislamic tactics (bombing bystanders, burning that man, etc.). I love being an American and I have faced very few issues with practicing Islam in this country (thank God). I do think that as with any group it's unwise to alienate an entire group of people - and it's cruel, think of the little kid who was afraid the army is going to deport her (look it up). This country is better and smarter, I think, than to fall for obnoxious hate-speech.

(And just hatred in general. I'm really tired so my mind veered off into Trump-rally land which is a scary place.)

*Islamophobic hatred.

[Opinion Owner]

I should clarify that yes there are two groups, Muslims and non-Muslims - but ISIS is behaving unislamically in many ways (as far as I know - God knows best), so placing themselves as the representatives of the Muslims is disingenuous to say the least (especially given that many Islamic scholars have spoken out very publically against many of the things that ISIS does).

I don't know enough about islam to say something Like that but my feeling says it is not according islam what they do

[Ariel1990]

Unfortunatelly i must disagree now with u. With a blind love u just loose your identity and face. We all shoul be real and see the situation as it is. I dont say hate is a clue, no way, i just say we should all be responsibble for our acts and protect our culture, traditions and peoples seciruty which is unfortunately undangered now by muslim attacks in Europe..
This is NOT HATE this is a REALITY... Love doesn't solve this... Strick rules and law will finally make people feel secure in Europe again..

[vekin]

surely we shouldn't deny what is happening and we should protect ourself

[HookingSwan]

So true

Great Take

And the only way to win this if we choose the path of love and not blind hate.

The world should stick together and rise above their cowardly fear inducing tactics

[vekin]

I understand people who hate because these terror attacks are awefull but I think the same as you just love is the way to win

[ElissaDido]

I agree, good take, that's how I've always seen it :) !

[vekin]

Hope many with you will see that hate isn't the way

[Decentguy]

[vekin]

[Decentguy]

it really does but people dont understand that. and its impossible to make this understand to anyone.

[HookingSwan]

and again, this is why you are a decent guy ;)

Sorry couldnt help myself and not use this pun again XD

[Decentguy]

@HookingSwan hahaha thanks, and no prob you can use this pun whenever you want to :)

[vekin]

even when it's impossible to make everyone realize this it's worth trying I think

[Decentguy]

yeah it was totally worth trying

[DaniaMQ]

BRAVO!!!👏 I couldn't agree more! Wish everyone knew this!!!

[vekin]

[DaniaMQ]

[vekin]

So that is why i made this

Omg if you stop bombing people then they will stop bombing you? This is truly a mind blowing discovery.
