There is no such thing as an innocent Muslim. If you think of yourself as a Muslim, you are not innocent. If you are a Muslim then you follow an ideology of killers by definition. Years of whitewashing has begun to fade in the West.

The only definition of an innocent Muslim is one who has not yet betrayed or killed a non Muslim.

There is no such thing as an innocent Muslim reeks of stereotypical over-generalisation...and perhaps hysteria laden prejudice...

rgds,

Look at it from a non Muslim`s pov. How can a NM tell whether the friendly Muslim neighbor can be trusted not to harm him so long as some muslims somewhere have a grude against non Muslims? How could a Jew make the same assumptions about his Nazi neighbors? Is trusting a nazi same as trusting any other person? Show Jews continue to consider Nazis innocent till they are harmed?

Its strange that a hindu, Ravi Kumar, comes to side with the Muslims. Hindus who can`t build a single temple in most Muslim countries.

What is with the Muslims? I can`t understand this victim mentality. Where ever the muslims are in majority, the non muslims have to cower down and live as second class citizens, but in a pluralistic society, they, enjoy the fruits and then create trouble. When there is restribution they become victims.
