[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all keep talking about "subtle micro-agressions."  In the meantime, your fellow Muslims cut the head off another aid worker and released a video this morning.

When Muslims stop blatant aggression and violence against non-Muslims, maybe we can talk about "subtle micro-aggressions."[/quote]

Yes, I suppose Muslima and I did that early this morning, just before we fed our children breakfast and sent them off to school. You would not want people to blame you for the actions of others, so don't blame all Muslims for the actions of extremists. [/quote]

If you stand by and say nothing while your fellow religionists murder aid workers, then you are part of the problem. You endorse their actions with your silence. You endorse their actions with  your posturing as a highly persecuted minority that needs to "fight back."

I don't blame her for ISIS, and she has condemned them. Closer to home, I do think she has a moral obligation to condem the poster who said, a few days ago, that Shi'ites aren't Muslims and we shouldn't trust Sunnis. Waiting....[/quote]

It is absolutely, positively wrong for any Muslim to say who is a true Muslim or who isn't. That judgment and determination is with God/Allah alone. I have not seen the immigrant poster's statement to this effect but I trust you if you say he made such a statement. If he did, it was absolutely wrong.

That said, there are certain criteria for being a Muslim. One needs only to believe 1) There is one God only 2) Prophet Muhammad is the last messenger. Implied in the second part of this oath is that one acknowledges there is a long line of messengers and prophets from God such as Adam, Jonah, Joseph, Moses, Jesus, Lot, etc…and Muhammad is the last one. That is it. There are many different ways of interpreting Islam, for sure, and Muslims are permitted to criticize and debate which way is correct. However, it is absolutely wrong to make a judgment as to who is a Muslim.

It isn't uncommon for Muslims to judge one another, much the same way Christians or Jews may judge one another. I'm not sure where you got the idea I would defend any Muslim engaged in wrongdoing.[/quote]
