Where Is The International Support For These Muslims?

From CNN/IBN via The Religion Of Peace, hundreds of Afghans protest suicide bombings.

There have been some 20 suicide attacks in Afghanistan since late September. Prior to that, such assaults were relatively rare in Afghanistan. A bombing last Monday in an Afghan-Pakistan border town killed 21 people, making it the country's deadliest suicide attack since US-led forces ousted the Taliban in 2001.

The local Afghans believe it is Pakistani Islamists behind the attack, and the Afghan government believes it is the Taliban.

In either case, you can be sure it isn't the Americans, The JOOOOOOS, or the Mennonites.

Why don't these people deserve a life in freedom? Why don't they deserve a way of life that is free from the violence? Of course, they do deserve it. However, they will not get it as long as there is an aggressive minority of Muslims that believe that killing in the defense of Islam is commanded by God.

Elsehwere, from the Times Online today, this attitude is summed up quite nicely by Abu Hamza's trial proceedings in Britain.

Edward Fitzgerald, QC, for the defence, said that Abu Hamza’s interpretation of the Koran was that it imposed an obligation on Muslims to do jihad and fight in the defence of their religion. He said that the Crown case against the former imam of Finsbury Park Mosque was “simplistic in the extreme”.

He added: “It is said he was preaching murder, but he was actually preaching from the Koran itself.”
