Most Oppressors of Muslims Are Muslim
By admingm IN Muslim
American Muslims often talk about how they are not treated well in the West. Over 4 million Muslims live in the United States in peace and with Freedom of Religion. Many more millions live in Western Europe, in most cases with little interference with their culture and lifestyle.
Since I often give Islam and Muslims the benefit of the doubt in my writings and interviews, I feel entitled to point out some significant hypocrisy that cannot be rationally denied. CAIR quoted the Quran in a recent e-mail, so I feel justified in using the same quotes as my scripture for this article: “Be steadfast in your devotion to God, bearing witness to the truth in all equity, and never let the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: (for) that is closest to piety…”The Holy Quran, 5:8-9
“God will never change the condition of a people until they change that which is within themselves.” The Holy Quran, 13:11
Who Suppresses and Oppresses Muslims? The answer is patently obvious for the world to see: other Muslims! Let’s recount some of the examples we’ve seen in the last three decades:
The Ayatollahs of Iran took over their country and murdered tens of thousands of their opponents, as recounted in Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Shirin Ebadi’s book, Iran Awakening. The name of Neda will live forever in Iran as a symbol of this oppression. She is the young woman shot dead by government gangsters when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won reelection under suspicious circumstances.
More than three decades after taking power, the Ayatollahs suppress their people by letting their gangster agents beat them up for dissent. Do they actually think they can crush a thought? How do they think God guides them in this?
Saddam Hussein suppressed the Shi’a majority in Iraq for decades. George W. Bush was not wrong about Saddam Hussein’s crimes against his fellow Muslims. Regretfully, he opened the floodgates for a Sunni/Shi’a civil war, which killed far more Iraqis than Americans ever did. Muslims killing other Muslims!
Hosni Mubarak’s goons controlled Egypt for three decades, suppressing what became 80 million Egyptians. The upper middle class could do nothing about it. It took a few twenty- and thirty-something techies adopting American style rhetoric and tools to shame him so much he finally quit.
It took 2 million Egyptians finally shouting the truth. It remains to be seen whether the new army-controlled Egyptian government will actually facilitate free elections. Or, will they follow the lead of their predecessor and continue to suppress the will of their people? I don’t know!
Muammar Gadhafi is notorious for oppressing and suppressing his fellow Libyans. He’s murdering them in plain sight, where the world can see. When the approbation of the world is brought down upon him by the international media, he simply shrugs and kills some more. He seems to have trained his children to the same murderous pattern.
CNN’s Ben Wedeman and Arwa Damon report from Libya that the dissident fighters in eastern Libya are asking, “Where is the world?”
Damon reported on March 17, 2011, “They’re angry, they’re frustrated, and they feel completely betrayed and abandoned.” They’re hoping we’ll send the cavalry to their rescue, like an old American “western” movie. But they’re really conflicted about our help. They want us to put American lives and aircraft at risk with a “no-fly zone,” but they don’t want our help on the ground. What are they thinking?
The long espoused canard that Americans are trying to steal Arab oil is nuts. Their oppressive leaders stole it long ago. We Americans, with the exception of a few oil companies, could care less who sells us the oil. The truth is that the oil producers cannot drink their oil, so they must sell it on the world market, where we Americans can buy it for more or less the same price, regardless of the political and religious beliefs of the people who pump it from the ground. I have never once pumped a gallon of gas where I had any clue about the source of the crude oil that made it.
The so-called “Oil Embargo” of the early 1970s clearly proved that the primary effect of an oil embargo is to reduce the cash flow of the people trying to enforce it. I do remember being in a line for gas one time in about 1973, but that seemed a small price to pay for OPEC to learn that lesson.
I say again: We have 4 million Muslims in the United States, and they largely live in peace, with no suppression or oppression from our government. Yes, they are asked to answer a few questions, from time to time, which are often justified by Muslim ambivalence about fighting the very forces within their own faith who would rather blow them selves up than find a way to live in peace. At the same time, they are no different from Congressman Peter King, who has been asked over and over by the media about his hearings.
That’s the American way! Injustices do happen to Muslims in the United States, but I doubt that they are in greater proportion than the population at large. A few Muslims are killed in hate crimes, but so are police officers murdered by white supremacists on the highway. I think the numbers will probably confirm that there are proportionally more police officers killed by hate crimes than Muslims.
I’m only saying that if Muslims want to experience less hate in the United States, they would do well to emphasize the positive aspects of their culture. More Americans will thereby be persuaded of the positive values of Islam. Suppression of Muslims globally is largely executed by other Muslims, not by Americans.
This is an undeniable fact. A large part of the reason most Americans do not trust Islam and Muslims is informed by the inhumanity we see Muslims visit upon one another, and by the hypocrisy of expecting Americans to fight for Muslim Freedoms when what most Americans hear from Muslims is criticism of our culture.
Like most Americans, I pray that our government will send in the cavalry and save innocent lives. Almost none of us like to see Muslim rulers killing their fellow Muslims so they can continue to rob them. Murder is murder! Like most Americans, I would be even more enthusiastic if I thought the oppressed and suppressed Muslim masses would respect my culture, my spiritual beliefs, and me when we’re done.
The 4 million Muslims in North America expect and get that respect from most Americans most of the time, despite what you might think if you listen to CAIR and Fox News—two sides of the same coin.

COMMENT
The author being an American has not taken AFGHANISTAN and PAKISTAN into account. The former is still in the Dark Ages with regard to violence, suicide bombers and murders by the Taliban. About the treatment of women less said the better. None dare show her face in any public area including shops and parks! The goats in pastures in Afghanistan must be wishing to camouflage themselves like the women in order to escape the attention of the tigers and wolves in their vicinity!
Now look at Pakistan, an "illegitimate bast*rd" country produced out of BODY OF INDIA in 1947 with the promise to make each and every Muslim citizen a millionaire after separating from the hated INFIDELS (Kafirs). But today, drowning in poverty, MILLIONS of Pakistanis have fled their Land of Rasul Allah established in 1947 on the blood and bones of the millions of Infidels who were massacred brutally by the Muslims.
Up to 1,000 girls and women are said to be murdered every year in Pakistan, with NO Infidel in sight, for "honour" killing by the world's MOST DISHONORABLE! Girls as young as three dare not leave home alone to walk in streets or play outside their homes for fear of abduction, rape and murder by a MUSLIM miscreant!
When they discovered the body of little Zainab after frantic search in KASUR they found that in that year ELEVEN more little girls had met with the same fate as Zainab in that town in Pakistan! (Media caption: The rape and murder of six-year-old Zainab sparked outrage in Pakistan. Two protesters have died in rioting over the latest in a series of child murders in the Pakistani city of Kasur … )
How often have the PEOPLE (nearly ALL Muslims after they violently exterminated the Non Muslims in their midst in 1947) been driven like the sheep with stick and gun by their Generals who declared Martial Law?
Recall the massacre of school children in Peshawar that was Muslim killing Muslim! (Media report: On 16 December 2014, six gunmen affiliated with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) conducted a terrorist attack on the Army Public School in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, killing 132 school children.)
In fact the conclusion can be drawn that wherever a Muslim lives there is the fire of Jehad burning in his heart all the time. If the flame goes down he feels restless and frustrated seeing Non Muslims doing well, enjoying life, around him. And when the flame rises high he wears a SUICIDE VEST and blows himself up killing the Infidels around him- be it Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Mumbai, London, New York or Berlin.
The average Muslim MORON does not notice the behaviour & peaceful life style of all the Non Muslims on earth who are educating themselves, serving humanity, discovering/inventing all the time and advancing the frontiers of man's knowledge in all fields including medical, to benefit all, including the "restless, frustrated, disgruntled burning soul" MOHAMMEDANS who cannot realize that Peshawar, Lahore and Karachi were in peace till 1947 and Afghanistan was as peaceful as Tibet, Cambodia and Taiwan when it was a Buddhist country, that is, BEFORE Islam crashed in.
PARTITIONED INDIA better watch out! Country was divided & fragmented in 1947 without transfer of population!
