Muslims To Form 'Peace Ring' Around Norwegian Synagogue After Copenhagen Attacks

[Cigar]

A group of Muslims plan on forming a "peace ring" around a synagogue in Oslo, Norway, following the recent attack on a synagogue in Copenhagen.

Hajrad Arshad, the 17-year-old organizing the event, told Norway broadcaster NRK (http://www.thelocal.no/20150217/muslims-to-form-peace-ring-around-oslo-synagogue) that the group wants to "extinguish the prejudices people have against Jews and against Muslims."

"We think that after the terrorist attacks in Copenhagen, it is the perfect time for us Muslims to distance ourselves from the harassment of Jews that is happening," she said.

According to Norwegian website The Local (http://www.thelocal.no/20150217/muslims-to-form-peace-ring-around-oslo-synagogue), the group has already recruited 450 people on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/931252050249117/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular) to participate in the "peace ring."

Not only. There have been many denouncements of AQ by religious leaders in various Muslim countries. Particularly after 9/11.

Al-Azhar, the thousand-year-old seat of religious learning in Cairo that’s respected by Muslims around the world, referred to the attack as a criminal act, saying that “Islam denounces any violence,”

The Organization of the Islamic Conference strongly condemned the attack. A spokesperson for the OIC’s Islamophobia Observatory in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia said that violence and radicalism are “biggest enemies of Islam.”

Indonesia, the world’s most-populous Muslim nation, “condemns the attack” and “sends condolences to the government and people of France,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

“Egypt stands by France in confronting terrorism, an international phenomenon that targets the world’s security and stability and which requires coordinated international efforts to eradicate,” said Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry.

“We, as Turkey, condemn with hatred any kind of terror,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in Ankara. “We are against any form of terror regardless of where it comes from and what its motives are.”

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham condemned the attack and said any terrorist action against innocent humans was against the teachings of Islam, according to the news agency IRNA. “Such actions are a continuation of radical waves and physical aggressions which have spread throughout the world in the past decade, and incorrect policies and double standards in confronting extremism and violence have unfortunately given way to a spreading of such undertakings,” she said.

That's a sample of the "fourth one". Maybe if you read them?

[Blackrook]

The terrorists know that the leaders of all these countries are saying what they need to say in public, but support them in private.

And the fact that you posted a quote from the Iranian Foreign Ministry as "condemning" terrorism proves you are completely clueless about what's going on.

I'd say to a degree you have a point, but I think if those states did believe in terrorist tactics, you'd see much more.

But thanks for your two cents worth.

[Blackrook]

Saudi Arabia funds the Wahhabi schools that turn young Muslim boys into terrorist fanatics. For some reason, the West ignores this and treats Saudi Arabia as an "ally." Maybe it's all that oil.

Can you or anybody else show me where Al Queda and/or ISIS are contravening any NON-ABROGATED verse of the Koran? Those guys in Norway are contravening verse 9-29.

So, we're just going to diss this kid in Norway, and those Muslims who are willing to form this safety ring, as being pointless.

I wonder how many American kids organised a safety ring around the Brits in the UK and Ireland who were blown up, shot, and knee-capped by the American-supported and financed IRA terrorists?

Splitting hairs again?

In order for "American supported" to have any significance it must refer to something either official (i.e. US government support) or something widespread. Since neither official or widespread support for the IRA existed in the US, yes, I do have a problem with the language used by William. You'd shit the bed if I called some unsavory act "black supported" and you know you would.

Fact: the IRA was condemned as a terrorist organization in the US.

[Mister D]

Oh, and the term "The Troubles" did not originate in the US.

You already did yesterday with the anti-semantic black community, remember? Just like you tried to paint blacks as being anti-semantic based upon some study done with a small sample size in 1998, now you wish to split hairs on the language William used.

He said American funded IRA......based upon what I highlighted, that statement is not wrong.

I said anti-Semitism is prevalent in the black community. I stand by that. Are you arguing that "funding" for the IRA was prevalent in the US? I already acknowledged that the IRA received support from some Irish American groups. That's really the extent of it.

Without [US] funding, the IRA would not have nearly the same potential for violence

Seems most of the funding of the IRA comes from the US. Whether or not it is prevalent is up for interpretation on what you think counts as prevalent. But like I said earlier, you like to split hairs on some things, and others you take a face value.

There are tens of millions of Irish in the US so that's no surprise. In fact, we have more Irish than Ireland if you can believe that. Still, there were over two hundred million Americans during the IRAs heyday and our government condemned the IRA.

It's not "American" funding since our government and the vast majority of Americans and even Irish Americans played no role whatsoever.

Ok, so I would expect your support that Muslim governments have condemned terror attacks, and there are more than a billion Muslims so a handful does not make them terrorists.

Well, unless you're an Irish American, that seems to make no difference whether or not you denounced or condemn terrorism. Different rules for different players.

Lots of American money went to the cause in Ireland. One of my favorite bars in the French Quarter was an IRA front. I almost got into a fight over a bar stool with some fighters on the lamb - but the bar owner stopped them and said I helped the cause with my frequent patronage. So we drank beer instead and got wasted. That place always had IRA types sleeping in the store rooms above the bar. Also the building was haunted. My best spooky experience happened there.

I never suggested they were. Safety, sometimes you bring too many strawmen to the party.

I'm somewhat indifferent to that Irish-American activity and I admire the British Empire so I don't think I was defending anything or anyone. Anyway, I have "set the record straight" with regard to Muslims and terrorism. Do I have to do that every time it comes up?
