Where was the outcry from muslims when the towers fell? Oh yeah, they where dancing in the streets. I have never once seen a story in print or on the news about a muslim denoucing terror or pleading for the terrorists stop. Terrorism usually achieves the opposite of what you want. The violence just makes people more resolved to resist.
How many bombings have there been around the world while the muslim world sits silent. Where are the tears shed for the innocent on both sides.
you're ridiculous, as well as quite immature
While everything you said is quite true. It's also very true that there where muslims dancing in the streets after 9/11. They had video of it all over the news and internet. Very sad. I don't rejoice when an iraqi or anyone else dies because of a stray bomb or bullet from an american gun. It's sad either way.
Can you point to a story about how much muslims detest the violence??
There's plenty of stories about how much muslims detest the violence, including recently in London.
What you are forgetting is that while *SOME* muslims danced in the streets after 9/11 that doesn't mean that all, most, or even significant numbers did. On ONE street where there happened to be a reporter's camera, someone captured a FEW muslims dancing.
This right here is the perfect example of bias. Did you ever notice that they always play that same video of people dancing? Are there ANY other videos? Uh, no.
See, since the only thing YOU see is "muslims dancing" you automatically ASSUME that this is a popular stance for muslims around the world to have. Except that that is not true at all, I can GUARANTEE YOU, that the majority of muslims around the world did not get up and dance about the twin towers falling.
Seriously dude, rethink what you really saw on TV and think about what it ACTUALLY tells you, not what the media and pundits hype it up as. All the idiot pundits just rambled about muslims dancing in the streets. So what, I was reading forums and there are idiots that say that the London bombings were a good thing since England is too liberal, and doing virtual claps.
By the same logic you used to extend the video of a FEW muslims dancing to ALL muslims, people from other countries could say stupid crap like "Americans were clapping when London was bombed". But just like the video, this would be an idiotically biased view.
Seriously guys, newspapers and television show you ONE tiny tiny tiny piece of an event most of the time. In that video of the palestinians dancing, did you ever think what the people down the street were doing? Uh, that would be not dancing. What about the people the next block over? The next neighborhood over? The entire city? The entire middle east? The f'ing world?
Taken in CORRECT context, what you should take from seeing the video or pictures of the video is this:
Some radically indoctrinated muslims have become so extremist in their hatred of the United States that they rejoiced on 9/11, however this is an extremely minority view amongst muslims of the world.
and NOT
Muslims are crazy! They dance in the streets when we get attacked! BAD BAD BAD!
I mean, I opened up the new york times website just now, and the front page has Tiger Woods crouched down on the golf course. But I don't assume that "damn, that stupid tiger woods gets paid to just crouch on golf courses all day." Because that's a WRONG assumption. What I *can* assume correctly, is that he sometimes crouches down on the golf course.
Anyways I'm so used to people bringing up that video of muslims dancing in the streets, but thankfully it was before and after 9/11 that was the semester where I was taking a course on how to see things, and it definitely opened my eyes about how little of the stuff you see you really, well, see. And considering that I spent the previous 4 years of my life about 3 blocks from the twin towers, I had a lot of reasons to hate.
