[Buddha-l] Was Buddhists Taking a Stand Against Isllamophobia

[Catalina]

instead of saying Muslims do this and that it would be better to say: SOME fundamentalist Muslims do this and that

But the fact is that no one is burning mosques. Well, except for Muslims, of
course, who like to burn (or preferably blow up, even more preferably, when
filled with other Muslims) mosques that they consider to be the wrong kind
of mosques.

On the other hand, the things that non-Muslim people are doing that Muslims
find so offensive are things like:

Writing books (like Salman Rushdie's new memoir)

Making documentaries (like Tom Holland's Islam: The Untold Story, for BBC)

Writing timely feature articles (like Ayaan Hisri Ali's recent piece in
Newsweek)

Drawing cartoons (like those that recently appeared in Charlie Hebdo)

When will we see "moderate" Muslims protesting against the outrages
committed by their co-religionists?

I hope however that you noticed that Libyan militias who are against al

ambassador and his colleagues) are trying now to run them out of Bengahzi? A
shred of hope?
