Muslim Inability to View Islam Critically is a Huge Problem

Peaceful Muslims Excusing Jihadist Terror is a Problem

Preface: I had written this article originally two years ago on the barbarian beheading of French teacher Samuel Paty by Jihadist terrorist but it got a new eerie relevance now on the background of HAMAS Jihad against Israel.

The Original Article (I kept it unchanged):

What I fail to understand is the reaction of many peaceful Muslims and Islamic countries to terrible terror attacks in France. Instead of supporting France in its fight against terrorism, they are condemning France as if it was a guilty party, and as if to fight a toxic ideology behind terrorism isn't perfectly natural and indeed only solution in this situation.

Yeah this ideology is related to their religion, Islam, it's radical branch of it. And? As a Russian I never had problems with acknowledging shortcomings of Russia and its toxic actions on international arena. I never screamed 'Russophobia!' to deflect the problem. And why should I? Condemnation of Putin and his toxic policies does not undermine my Russian identity in any way. Putin's actions has nothing to do with me so why should I be bothered about it? Same Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with peaceful Muslims.

Back in 2014, I supported Ukraine when Putin had annexed Crimea and started a hybrid war on Donbass. I wasn't denying that Russian soldiers were in Donbass and were behind the conflict there. So why Muslims deny that Islamic terrorism has anything to do with Islam at all? Furthermore why do they perceive that condemnation of Islamic terrorism is condemnation of the whole Islamic religion?

Again, no one, not even the hard core right wing politicians, are saying that ALL Islam is bad and ALL Muslims are terrorists. No one is saying that. Yet, all those terror attacks are directly linked to radical part of Islamic ideology, there's no denying that. Not to all Islam, but to its radical part!

But Muslims are denying that those terror attacks have anything to do with Islam whatsoever! Thus they are essentially refusing to admit that this radical and toxic part even exists in their religion. For them, Islam is impeccable, and terrorism has nothing to do with it, 'terrorism has no religion'. But this is a lie.

Also, it's very harmful and shows that Muslims are incapable of viewing their religion via any critical lenses. They refuse even to admit that this very radical part of their religion which is responsible for terror attacks which killed hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, even exists! For them, it's 'not Islam, and 'true Islam' is perfect. With this attitude, the problem would never be solved.

Because it's not only 'very few dangerous terrorists' who are the problem. As I said before, Islamic terrorism is well organized and not random activity. And in the core of this problem lies inability of Muslims to view their religion via critical lenses and to admit any of its faults.

Why this crazy terrorist had beheaded Samuel Paty? Because French teacher was mocking Islam. The Muslim guy was unable to tolerate any critics or mockery of his religion AS MUCH as to kill the poor joker. So this is what inability to accept any critics of your religion leads to! It leads directly to barbarian terrorism.

Someone critisizes and mocks you? Kill them! Again, to stop any critics of Islam as Muslims apparently want is NOT the solution. We have free speech and anything can be critisized, and in Islam especially many things like its extreme homophobia and sexism or barbarian ‘sharia law’ had earned fair criticism. It's Muslims who should learn to accept criticisms of their religion or to argue civilly about it at least. But they just can’t! Now, Muslims are even unable to admit that there is very toxic and radical part of their religion which harms all humanity. By this refusal to see it, they make the problem only worse.

So yeah, the core of the problem is inability of Muslims at large, even peaceful ones, to accept any critics of their religion at all. Hence their terrible 'blasphemy laws' which exist in almost any Islamic country and which either kill or imprison people for any critics, questioning or doubts with regard to their religion. Hence the Islamic terror attacks.

And now, instead of condemning Islamic terrorism and joining in with France to fight it, Muslims chose to deny that the problem of Islamic terrorism even exists, and blame France for imaginary 'racism and Islamophobia' instead. Just great. But you just can't solve the problem if you deny it even exists!

Islamic terrorism is not activity of some random lunatics again, it's well organized system based on very toxic and radical part of Islamic ideology. It's impossible to overcome Islamic terrorism without bringing down this ideology and without getting rid of oversensitivity about one's religion in general. So if Muslims choose to deny that their religion is at fault at least somewhat, they are essentially deflecting and denying the problem and indirectly endorsing Islamic terrorism.

P.S. The VERY SAME attitude Muslims exhibit now to HAMAS unprecedented massacre of Jews in Israel - they forgive EVERYTHING to HAMAS and CONSTANTLY shift the blame on Israel (and Western Woke imbeciles dumbly repeat their talking points!).

Just like Muslims were excusing Jihadist barbarian terror in France and shifting the blame on non-existent French 'Islamophobia' instead! Say whatever you like but Muslim immigrants are a BIG PROBLEM, and their extremely double standarded attitude and Jihadist terror apologia is highly problematic.
