gagagoogoose 30,952 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 "Everybody's got to love each other Stop throwin' stones at your sisters and your brothers" Why can't people just live in peace and stop targeting others who share different beliefs? The world is so messed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this is NOT first attack, clearly you're not following news. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all discriminating muslims are terrorists they're not all sacrificing their lives but they're very happy other people are doing it. Do you believe muslims are split between terrorists and the nice people who post that Islam is the religion of peace on social media? There are the truly peaceful ones who have no problem sending their children to Catholic schools (which is how i made one of my best friends). There are those who are muslim by name but don't really care about religion. There are terrorists. And then there are those who support terrorists. I'm not sure whether you live in a Middle Eastern country as well or not, but ISIS is supported by a lot of communities here, even in lebanon which is more than 40% christian. They rejoice when they hear of bombings (and have a cute habit of setting off fireworks when they hear news of it, as a sign of support). They think we're all sinners and refrain from interaction with christians or other religions. They plaster ISIS posters all over their streets (only last wednesday I witnessed that as we passed through a muslim city in southern lebanon on a school trip). Do they send their sons off to explode themselves? No, but they don't mind other people doing it. So no, muslim is not synonymous to terrorist in what I said. Egypt is known to have heavy discrimination against christians living there. It's not the sole work of Daesh, they're not the only ones who are against the Pope's visit, and they're not the only ones who will smirk if any attempt is made during the visit. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are generalizing close to 2 billion people. Largest Muslim communities are not even living in the Middle East. "The Muslims don't like that", did you speak to each and every Muslim about Pope's visit? I'm sure majority doesn't care about the Pope. "They want to send message", again holding general Muslims responsible for horrible crimes done by terrorists? Even if some would dislike Coptic Christians, it doesn't mean they want them dead or that they rejoice. It's like general Muslims holding you and your community responsible for Sabra and Shatila massacre. "The Christians wanted to send a message". How does that sound? But you just made huge generalization. 16 minutes ago, littlepotter said: Do you believe muslims are split between terrorists and the nice people who post that Islam is the religion of peace on social media? What does this suppose to mean? Two Muslim police officers lost their lives trying to protect these Christians and you say "The Muslims hate Pope so they wanted to send message". You don't see anything wrong in that? Majority condemn these attacks. Majority are normal people. 18 minutes ago, littlepotter said: There are the truly peaceful ones who have no problem sending their children to Catholic schools (which is how i made one of my best friends). There are those who are muslim by name but don't really care about religion. There are terrorists. And then there are those who support terrorists. So only sending kids to Catholic schools make someone "truly peaceful"? How many Christian parents let their children attend Islamic schools? If they don't allow, does that make them extremists? Only those who don't care about religion are "the good guys". That's interesting. I know about your hostilities, many Lebanese Christians living in the West hate to interact with Lebanese Muslims too, I know about one who was disowned from his parents, it's both sided.
