Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, chairman of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, is upset with the way that Muslims are being called terrorists by the West, wondering how, he says, “an act of individuals could be the reason to condemn one fifth of humanity.”
Perhaps it’s because of all those other individual acts we keep reading about:
At Least 25 Killed in Iraq Mosque Blast
Nations Struggle to Infiltrate al-Qaida
Video Shows Beheading of Two Iraqi Men
Deadly blasts rip through Bali
London. New York. Bali. Kenya. The Philippines. Turkey. Egypt. Israel. Lebanon. Russia. All of these nations have suffered from Islamic terrorist attacks, and it’s not even the full list.
And then you have stories like this one:
Poor, Young Battle Polio in Yemen
Yemen got rid of polio once – for a period of four years after the last case was reported in 2001. But since late February, more than 470 Yemeni children have been hit with the disease, more than one-third of the total 1,273 cases detected worldwide this year.The Yemen cases all stem from an outbreak in Nigeria two years ago, which occurred after Islamic clerics urged parents to boycott the vaccine for fear it was part of an American anti-Muslim plot. The polio that then erupted in Nigeria spread first to Chad, then to nearby Sudan – and then across the Red Sea into Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Yeah, you really have to wonder about how the image of Muslims is being tarnished by the West, when they’re doing such a first-rate job of destroying it themselves.
And Thailand.
No it is not the image of Islam being destroyed by the subhumans, it is Islam itself.
