Most Muslims are good people. As are most Catholics, Jews, Lutherans, Baptists, Taoists, Buddhists and <insert your own religion here>. Most white people are good people. As are most blacks, yellows, browns and reds.
Whenever I see a meme or headline complaining about Muslims, I’m amazed of the ignorance of the person posting the meme or making the complaint.
Sure, some Muslims have vowed death to “The Great Satan” and blew some stuff up. But a white guy with Christian beliefs blew up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Which is worse? A sworn enemy killing innocent Americans or one of our own killing innocent Americans? I vote for option B.
There are nearly 7.9 billion people living on this planet right now. Add the seven people currently in space and that should put us right at 7.9 billion. Let’s call it eight billion because we’ll be there before long anyway. Nearly all eight billion of us are good people.
How do I know? Easy. Because there are eight billion of us. If people weren’t generally good, there would a lot fewer of us than there are.
That doesn’t mean that evil doesn’t exist. It just means that you can’t automatically assume that’s what everyone is.
If you look at any general group of people, most of them will be peaceful, law-abiding, good people. It’s when people start to specialize that we run into problems.
The Muslims that believe in Radical Islam are the evil Muslims you need to worry about.
Likewise, if you’ve got a bunch of Neo Nazis, that’s where you’re going to find your evil white people.
The same thing goes for ANTIFA. Sure, Liberals like to pretend that ANTIFA doesn’t actually exist. But it does, and the members of ANTIFA are, for the most part, evil.
Want a real-world example? OK.
Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is a Muslim. She’s also the representative for the Minneapolis area. Ilhan Omar’s religion is immaterial. Because she doesn’t speak for all Muslims. But she does speak for nearly three quarters of a million Minnesotans. Because they elected her to represent them.
When you see Representative Omar make ridiculous remarks about how Israel is committing an “act of terrorism” by defending itself from over a thousand rockets fired their way by Palestine, she isn’t saying those things because she’s a Muslim. She’s saying those things because she’s a Radical Islamist. Well, that…and because she’s a nitwit.
If you’re going to besmirch anyone because of the actions of Ilhan Omar, it shouldn’t be Muslims, it should be the people in Minneapolis who voted for her. Presumably, they elected someone who echoes their own beliefs and values. It’s a pretty good bet that they’re not all Muslims. However, since the people of Minneapolis continue to elect an idiot to represent them, one could accurately conclude that they are also idiots.
Ilhan Omar isn’t a danger to the United States because of her religion. She’s a danger because of how she interprets her religion, and because the people of Minneapolis have voted twice to give her a voice for her cause.
