"How many thousands, or hundreds of thousands of Christian churches scream bloody murder when some trusted priest or deacon or youth pastor turns out to be abusing or molesting children, but where are the mosques that should be teaching their people that terrorism and killing the infidel is a wrongness?"
Of course people scream when they themselves (could) get hurt. The question should be: how many christians scream bloody murder about abortion clinic bombings, or discrimination against homosexuals, or Phelps's picketing, etc.?
As regards the self-defending: if your group was attacked, vilified, hated, discriminated against, wouldn't your first priority, too, be self-defence?
As regards the lack of protests: you might be interested in this article. |
