ORIGINAL: bounty44 the folks at westboro consistently teach and act in ways contrary to what scripture and jesus teach and the overwhelming majority of churches in the country can point that out in a heartbeat and justly call into question the veracity of any inward spiritual conversion the people at westboro have had. the question is---can the muslims who are not acting in the same way as ISIS is, do the same? Yup, and they have, and it's been cited in this forum at great length. The response? You Islamaphobes call it "cherry picking." The problem has been that the Muslims decrying ISIS, et. al. have not gotten the air time that ISIS, et. al. have been getting (which story is more likely to get viewership, a Muslim cleric calling out ISIS, or ISIS's latest abuse?). We finally get to see the violent extremist Muslims being fought by non-extremist Muslims. I, for one, am happy to see it. I think the typical Muslim has finally had it, and we'll see more pushback against all the violent extremist Muslim groups going forward. Hopefully, it will result in a general reduction in tensions in the Middle East.
