ORIGINAL: PeonForHer
As for the average British or US Muslim ... surely, all he or she should do - and would naturally do - is distance himself or herself from all that stuff? Me, in that position, I'd say, 'What the hell have they got to do with me? I'm British/American - I have *no idea* what makes those loonies tick!'
There's your problem Peon.
You are applying very moderate rational christian thinking to a group who generally do not think that way.
You, like many westerners would distance yourself.
That makes sense to you.
Muslims think they should support each other.
Whatever side of the Muslim divide they are on, they still support their own side in whatever struggle is happening in the ME.
But outside of that, their common enemy is anything non-Muslim.
If you like, it's more akin to an absolute footy fanatic (Millwall supporter?) supporting his team rather than football or sport in general.
If you look at the many many fights that happen at football matches between fans, then ask a tennis fan why they are doing it, that's the sort of thing you are trying to compare and make sense of.
As another example, lets look at pedo's and cannibals.
To most people in the west, their activities are abhorrent and they should be locked away for life or executed for following their beliefs.
To those indulging in such activities, it's quite natural and are puzzled as to why people are so against what they do.
So if they realise they are living in such a culture, they keep it under wraps and hide it so they aren't caught.
They also put on a facade so that to others, they appear normal and friendly and part of society.
This is how many, but obviously not all, Muslims behave and project their ideology.
They tell us what we want to hear rather than the abject truth of what they are thinking and believing behind the facade.
And what's more, an awful lot of the west swallow it hook line and sinker.
They appeal to our western sense of tolerance and rationality; that's how they get away with the facade.
I know some will ask what the fuck has pedo's and cannibals have to do with Islam for this comparison?
Quite simple: absolute and blind faith in their own customs and practices.
If it's not allowed where you are, do it behind closed doors and cover it up so nobody notices.
Then smile at your neighbour so they don't suspect anything has been going on.
Why do you think honour killings still happen when it is illegal here?
Why do you think many girls are forced into marriage by having it performed in their home lands instead of here?
Why do you think so many Muslims are radicalised into fighting for their cause?
Why do you think they are so vociferous and go on a rampage because of a satirical cartoon?
You don't see other religions doing that, only the Muslims showing their true colours.
And when you think about it, isn't that exactly what a lot of BDSM'ers do when confronted with the general public and their neighbours?
Isn't that exactly what the gays and lesbians did until recent years?
Having a cultural facade to fool people around you isn't so far fetched or even a new idea.
