I keep hearing how Islam is the "Religion of Peace", and yet, time and time again, we hear about people's feelings being hurt over seemingly minor things and they riot in the streets.
For example, a UK teacher in Sudan allowed her students to name a teddy bear"Mohammed", and yet, she was arrested and people called for her execution.
Nevermind the fact that Mohammed is one of the most common names in the Middle East. Nevermind that the students have said that the bear was named for one of them.
You can't really blame the rest of the world for being suspicious of your religion if you have nutjobs who riot at even the most minor "insult".
When was the last time you saw mass Christian riots when a cross was put into a jar of piss?
When was the last time you saw Buddhists behead people when they saw Buddha statues in Chinese stores?
How about when the Taliban blew up Buddhist statues? Did anyone riot in the streets, or behead someone?
No, you don't see that. Why? Because some of these people are either brainwashed or savages.
When someone from another religion does something horrible like say, Timothy McVeigh, they are shunned by the rest of the world and turned into authorities. Why? Because we know they're nutjobs and they shouldn't be out in society.
Muslims would be wise to do the same in their own communities more often. It would certainly help their reputation around the world when it comes to them being the "Religion of Peace".
