I have no intention or need, nor is it my job, to dissaude or influence your perceptions.
Good luck in your endeavours!
The politicians are so afraid of people lining up to attack muslims that they speak to us on the subject like children.
To sum up - You DON'T condemn the murders of innocent people going about their business, you won't engage in discussion about your thinking around this, you won't watch a documentary by the most respected PSB in the world as you consider it "propaganda".

Do I expect people of Islamic nations to say sorry? No. I DO expect them to say "we don't agree with this, it isn't in our name" BECAUSE without such comments, we must conclude it IS something they support.
What they 'don't agree' with is aggressive war being waged in the Middle East by Western Nations in the name of conquest, oil and money, (our God). They been complaining about that forever, something you won't hear much about in the western main scream media.
Pretty arrogant to expect them to 'not agree' with something so small as a few deaths in reprisal for all the West has done to their homelands.
Blaming the victims much?

Next. No, I do not wish to "hate" muslims or anyone else. I would however like to go about my life without the fear of some nutcase with a grudge pulling out an AK and shooting everyone in sight.
Next, the examples people have cited in here are either ancient or very questionable/limited.

My feeling is, we are within a decade of such events.
I'm not going to be so bold as put a date on anything, but I will say this;
We've let the devil into our back yard and he is building an army of the likes we have never seen before.

Just a question to those who are asking for apologies from the muslim world. When in your life have you ever apologised for something you didn't do or take part in?
I don't think that those of you who think like this quite grasp how angry some of us are getting.
We are looking for something, anything from the world of Islam that says 'hey guys, we're not cool with the terrorists either' Even better from them would be 'Let's sort this problem out together as citizens of planet earth'
But so far all we have heard is eerie silence from them.

If you are simply wanting to hate on muslims, no amount of actual fact about how moderate muslims appose terrorism is going to make a damn bit of difference to you opinion
The problem is that we can see thousands and thousands of not "so moderate" muslims in Pakistan burning French flags and effigies of French president Hollande. We don't want to hate them, but the opposite is true, unfortunately.

If you want to win this war without a fight than stop bombing muslim countries every decade,stop overthrowing their governments,stop supporting Israel at everything they do,stop droning weddings and funurals and stop being a f hypocrite.
WOAH. I'm NOT going to let this pass.
1). I do not participate or support attacking ANY country. I WILL support it if these attacks of soft targets continue. That is kind of the point - these attacks are turning those who DO NOT support the behaviours of their governments AGAINST those who they previously spoke up in support of. Those who've spoken up HAVE had some effect on moderating the extent to which these governments have acted. Their future silence will have dire consequences.
2). I DO NOT support Israel. I think it is one of the most disgusting nations on the planet. Depending on where you are from (and I have no idea), you may not be aware but in many western nations, when you criticise Israel you're labelled as anti-semitic. Its repulsive.
3). Returning to point one, I do not support attacks in foreign nations. HOWEVER, I WILL if this continues. Killing "legitimate" targets by drones does not fit in with my view at present but it WILL.
4). DO NOT presume to tell people that if they don't comply with demands issued by those murdering civilians who have NOTHING to do with the acts of their governments will push western people into cowering and giving in. That is NOT what we do.
Here in the UK we're definitely one of the most tolerant nations on earth to people of other faiths and backgrounds. We do not restrict their speech even when verbally "attacking us" in our own country but we will only take so much bloodshed.

Threads like this need to start being deleted for bigotry. This is getting absurd. Like a new one is posted every day...
Ah so you're against freedom of speech?
Noted.
