<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->After every terrorist attack, we can be sure there will be a 'nuanced' condemnation of the terrorist attack from most Muslim organizations - at least those that seek to be known as somewhat mainstream and not completely radical. Of course the Al Queda types, will rejoice openly - they have no need to pretend that they are not radical. They rather enjoy being radical.
Now if we watch the 'nuanced' condemnation coming from the Islamic organizations - we will find some common features. First it will not just be about the incident that it is condemning - It will subtly include other events as well.. Like for example... We (the Islamic society of.... etc.) condemn all acts of terrorism, against all oppressed and innocent people in all countries...blah...blah...blah.
Now by broadening the scope of what they are condemning, they will really include the oppression of the Palestinians, the suffering of the Muslims in numerous Non-Muslim countries, the injustice being done by Hindus to the Muslims of Kashmir, the victims of the Gujarat riots. In fact, it will not even be clear whom they are condemning for what.
Secondly, they will make sure that they define what they are condemning, by calling Terrorism "Acts of Violence against the innocent". Now this seems like an innocuous enough definition - but it subtly hides the fact that according to the Koran, only the Muslims are innocent. All Non-Muslims are "Guilty" for not having accepted Allah or Islam. So all Kafirs are already guilty - So they are excluded from those included in the definition of terrorism.
Thirdly, it will include a subtle warning that the rest of the world should not target all Muslims - since Islam is a religion of peace, and has been badly mis-understood. In fact, Islamophobia is raging around the world - for no reason at all; and the rest of the world is simply not making enough of an effort to accommodate Islam and understand it.
I am just recreating this, so we may watch out for these statements coming from numerous sources in the next few days. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
