Where is the Outrage?

Hypocrisy and distortion are passing currents under the name of relgion- Mahatma Gandhi

In light of the massive demonstrations that have broken out across the Muslim world over 12 caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that were first published in Denmark's Jyllands-Posten in September and reprinted in European media and New Zealand in the past week, perhaps it is finally time to ask the Muslim world, where is the outrage?

Yes, the Muslim world is capable of such condemnation regarding political cartoons, but why have they not condemned Islamic terror groups with the same fervor.

In Turkey, a Catholic priest has been shot dead over this incident and the Danish embassy in Lebanon has been set on fire. Yet Islamic terrorists continue to kill innocent Iraqis, Afghans, Americans...and yes Jews among others, and the Muslim world remains silent. Where is the outrage?

Schoolchildren are murdered in Beslan, and the Muslim world is silent. But if a Danish paper publishes a cartoon of the Prophet, all hell breaks loose.

In an editorial today, the Syrian state-run daily Al-Thawra stated, "It is unjustifiable under any kind of personal freedoms to allow a person or a group to insult the beliefs of millions of Muslims." Yet every day, murder in the name of Allah is not only condoned, it is encouraged.

Until the Muslim world can respond to murder with the same outrage; I can only say, shame on you.


Oh and how about Egypt’s refusal to accept search and rescue aid from Israel. Because lets be honest, better a dead Egyptian then an Egyptian saved by a Jew.
