doesn't it make sense that some element of ignorance and being led astray had to happen from both sides for conflicts to have started.
A fight takes two to tango! And the cause was not the actual war. It would be naive to believe that every move America has made is for security measures. Given that their own political policy is to dominate other territories.
Both sides have alot of issues. And even more so both people have been subjected to leaders trying to justify their actions. And hide their faults.
All muslims had a legislated jihad in chechnya and Afghanistan because it was an invasion over land. Any persons right! Some (few) muslims felt protective of their muslims brothers in Afghanistan, Iraq and palestine from American and Israel invasions. Again it is also their right to protect their muslim brothers from such wrongful invasion. And in fact, the only reason the scholars said it was unlawful was 1.) unlawful to do so in protecting the corrupt regimes and 2.) because we did not have enough strength to fight against America or Israel and therefore needed to take a step back and gain more strength.
And personally I would have not hesitated had the scholars called for jihaad due to America and Israel unlawfully invading those countries.
However, jihaad does not include suicide bombings or killing innocent people. I.e. going to europe and blowing a few things up.
That is all due to our (wests) ignorance and being led astray due to our own (the wests) hunger for power and control which have had negative consequences in the Islamic world. We are a victim of the international problems our goverments have created due to our own superiority complexes. (I.E. we think we have the best system in the world and decree that all others should think so too)
Having said all that .. how serious is the terrorist threat truly? (not the media scare it is made to be) And how can we, in the west, show the muslims that we are all not bad and voice our opinions concerning the wrongs of our goverment. (not being racist and islamicphobic would be a start)
Earlier you mentioned that muslims don't have a voice.. I would like to know where is the voice of westerners who are against the terrorist and atrocities supported and enacted by western goverments. Why do you guys not speak up against such things. And try to support muslims and also sympathise with their situation?
At the end of the day, while I do not agree with the ideology of the majority muslims. And definately not the terrorist acts of the minorities. I also do not agree with the unprecedented support of and westerners who also have their head buried in the sand concerning their own goverments.
