A Morning Rant About CNN's 'Angry' Muslim Youth
Topics: Understanding IslamCNN has been interviewing youg Muslims in Britain to find out why they're "angry" at us.
As you'd expect, the sum total of CNN's "discovery" is that the ME foreign policy of Britain and the U.S. is against Muslims, and Muslims are being blamed for everything bad that goes on in the world. "We are being attacked," they say. One reporter asked them why they condone violence, saying he thought Islam meant peace (apparently having been embeded in a cavern somewhere for the last 5 years, not having learned that the "peace" they speak of is our death - their peace - submission to Islam gives one peace - resisting makes one even more peaceful - as in dead - even leaving Islam is a death sentence). The answer is very telling of the "ummah mindset." They identify with the ummah, the Muslim nation, first and foremost, rather than as British, American, or whatever happens to be the nation that provides them the freedoms that they wouldn't have in their native country ot that of their parents. In heart and mind they are not Brits or Americans, they are Muslims, period.
The interviewed youth were under the spell of a bearded wonder, Abu Jihad (the name should provide a clue as to his ideology) their "guru" so to speak, who led them in their angry refrain. Everyone interviewed could easily be placed into the category of an "Islamist," based upon their expressed ideology - "Muslims don't forgive, they're not Christians; when one is attacked, all Muslims are attacked."
The comments of these "angry" Muslim youth tell us a lot about the circular reasoning employed by many Muslims, and about that which is at the root of the paradox reflected by Muslim anger - they are angry at us reacting to them trying to kill us and force us to believe in Islam. The more we resist, the more they feel "attacked." The more we attack the bases of radical Islam - in the ME, in order to stop their ability to wage war against us on an even greater scale, and kill more of us and also to prevent them from shoving Islam down our throats, the angrier the "angry" Muslims become.
The fact is, of all the major conflicts in the world, Muslims are involved in over 95% of them. Of all the acts of terrorism in the world, Muslims are involved in 100% of them, and in many cases, Muslims conduct the act of terrorism and are also the victims of the acto of terrorism because they don't follow the same ideology within Islam. So, sadly, Muslims are in fact responsible for much of what is evil in the world, a fact that has to be frustrating to those Muslims that are indeed peace-loving and who are frustrated by what their fellow Muslims are doing in the name of their religion.
However, sad as the situation is for truly peace-loving Muslims, Muslims are indeed involved in much of what is bad and evil in the world, and until Islam somehow finds someway to reform itself, and until more Muslims speak out against violence and in favor of peace, freedom, tolerance, and democracy, and become citizens instead of belonging to the ummah, the world is in for a very rough time, and civilization is in danger of dying in the process.
We cannot concern ourselves with "why" they hate us, we need to accept the fact that they do, that their circular reasoning is uncompromising and illogical, and that they hate us because we resist. Either we get over it and attack to win, if necessary - deporting or interning all who are hell-bent on destroying the West, and militarily deal with Iran and Syria once and for all (as a begining to actually fully engaging in the war against radical Islam), or Western civilization will die, and the radical Islamists will win.
