Islam in crisis

Another Muslim man confession in a letter to the editor of Ottawa Citizen:

When the non-Muslim world says with clear conviction that Islam propagates extremism, Muslims all around the world, even the terrorists, cry foul and declare that they are maligning Islam.

But is there a loophole some where in this faith that can make a follower an extremist? How can the so-called
religion of peace be twisted in such a way that it becomes a weapon of murder? This everyday carnage in the name of Islam has not been taken seriously by the Muslims, thinking this is a kind of protest against oppression.

I went to many mosques to hear the sermons provided by the clerics but was totally disappointed to note that there is no pragmatic approach to this serious issue.
They still spread fear in the name of Islam and criminally keep the worshippers in the dark.

The so-called modern educated Muslims play a more vicious
role than these illiterate mullahs, because they never touch the real issue, but bring logic to such dastardly and senseless attacks on innocent human beings.

I am appalled to see that, in my opinion, the majority of Muslims are not concerned about this crisis in their faith which they follow with such strong conviction.

A faith that does not value human lives is a cult.
The main problem with Islam is its reluctance to embrace reason and logic.

The entire paraphernalia of Islam is protected by the poisonous tentacles of immovable dogmas and ignorance. This dark side is supported by fear and the followers are innumerable. I don’t see any escape route.

Thanks to this guy but unfortunately many Muslims are in denial, educated or non-educated, peaceful or fundamental.

I remember when I was writing in mideastyouth which their slogan was "Promoting a fierce but respectful dialogue among the highly diverse youth of the Middle East"! They couldn't take my questions and my thoughts about Islam so they started verbal personal attacks and accusations. These youths that I saw, they are worst than their fundamental forefathers. Irony is their director and others who are living in free countries, were among the first to attack any question or thought about Islam.
