Group of Muslims Do Not Make All Muslims Bad

On Friday, October 17, 2014, AMERICAblog published an article titled "On Islam, Liberals Actually Agree on what’s Important". The author Jon Green is trying to send a message to those who see the religion of Islam as it being a religion of injustice and lacks on giving its followers the freedom. He is facing a difficulty in accommodating the religion of Islam, in which it creating a mafia such as the Islamic State (ISIS) and promoting terrorism, violence, human massacres, and disapproving of human rights and freedom. He sees Islam and “differently different” and that all Muslims are violent and oppressive. He is basing his beliefs and judgments on a Maher’s HBO talk show debate where most opinions narrowed down towards the Islamic religion as being non-liberal where even the actor Ben Affleck, who was a guest speakers on the show, pointed out that TV host Bill Maher and author Sam Harris were “stereotyping, racist, and gross” on their depiction of the entire religion of being responsible for all of the terrorist acts. The author’s argument is that Islam has a ridiculous violence and insanity that its text shares with numerous other holy books and such a religion has yet to have a liberalizing reformation. He claims that when holy books are taken too seriously they grant legitimacy to those who are already primed for violence and oppression. His logic tells him that “Islam is no monolith and its people exhibit the same nuances and complexities as everyone else — complexities that usually provide more explanatory power than religion alone when we look at violent social movements.” I’m going to have to disagree with the author’s opinion due to his ignorance. Islam is not limited to ISIS. I can see why the author sees Islam as a cruel religion (due to what is being shared on the media) but that should not be the end point where he makes judgments when he lacks an enormous amount of information concerning one of the largest religions to be. If anything, Islam is oppressed and is in a stage of misuse by ignorant, non-educated, drugged, sick bastards that have no mercy whatsoever on any human being. The author needed to do more research and go into depth to be able to differentiate between the book and its reader. ISIS is misinterpreting the text in the holly Quran; in fact, they are falsifying the text and rewording it. They deceive the poverty and the ignorant by attracting them with money and paradise through Islam.
