Questions for Muslims 4

Tweet

In Israel, there is a strong and active "peace-now" movement. In the USA, the peace movement is quite vocal (perhaps too vocal). Australia's peace movement has been very active over the past several years. Europe seems to be made up of nothing but the peace movement. The UK opposition political parties seem to be part of the peace movement. But where is the Muslim peace movement? Why are Islamic countries the only ones that don't have an active peace movement agitating for world peace? Why is the so-called "religion of peace" so lacking in peace activists and peace-protestors? If violence is not supported by the majority of Muslims and doesn't represent the beliefs of the majority of Muslims, why aren't the majority of Muslims protesting in the streets (peacefully) against the terrorists and the rioters? Should we take their silence as tacit support of the violence, disinterest in the issues, or simply fear of reprecussions? And if it is fear of reprecussions, doesn't that mean that Islam has been hijacked by the jihadists, and really is no longer a religion of peace, but of violence and fear?
