We ARE condemning it. We’ve been consistently doing that for literally decades now. Did you even bother to check?

Where? Which respected imams and Muslim leaders are criticising this? Genuine question.

The list is literally hundreds of thousands. Honestly, go into any mosque and ask the imam. Follow any Islamic leaders; in the US it’s people like Imam Omar Suleiman who post a lot on social media. Or imam Khalid Latif on YouTube.

Thanks for those examples! I’ll take a look at their work :)

So the majority of the muslim priests (imams) are loudly condemning it during their sermons? You sure?

If so, aight, fair enough.

But if I were you I’d do what a ton of people did for the catholic church during the whole child sex scandal, and leave to join an offshoot

Yes I’m sure, my mosque even livestreams the sermon on YouTube every week if you care to check.

The fact that illiterate farmers in Pakistan are hurting people doesn’t mean I need to change my religion and has nothing to do with my prayers to God. I have as much in common with them as I do with Jack the Ripper. Should I change my citizenship because my country is full of racists? No, because they have almost nothing in common with me. Asking me to do so is because you are unable to deal with the stereotypes in your mind, not me.

You’re making good points and making me think.

Although, I will say the attacks on people are far more common than jack the ripper (one guy). I think the catholic sex scanal was a much closer analogy.

doesn’t mean I need to change my religion

I don’t think you need to do anything. It would be a wise decision for you to leave your religion, you know assuming you don’t live in a country where it is dominate and they kill you for doing that, but you don’t need to change it.

and has nothing to do with my prayers to God

There isn’t any God. You are talking to yourself.

Sigh. The attack on him was condemned by Muslims and Muslim leaders worldwide. Those condemnations were all over Muslim social media and TV in Arabic, Urdu, Swahili, Malay, Bangla, Turkish, Kazan, Uzbek, and the list goes on. Did you even bother to check? Or do you just assume all Muslims are terrorists?

Sigh. I don’t care about your Rittenhouse tears. Who issued the Fatwa? Sigh.
