Quote:

Saudi journalist and TV host Nadine Al-Budair recently criticized the "hypocrites" who say that the terrorists "do not represent Islam or the Muslims." After the abominable Brussels bombings, it's time for us to feel shame and to stop acting as if the terrorists are a rarity," she said, in an address that aired on the Saudi Rotana Khalijiyah TV on April 3. "Why do we shed our own conscience?" she asked. "Don't these perpetrators emerge from our environment?"

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with her?

Considering that terrorists these days are all islamists, her thinking isn't that wrong.

I mean... She didn't lie

ATRL should take notes

She simply critized the environment that creates terrorists lol it's not like she is bashing Islam or anything. She's just asking the questions Muslims ask each other. "why are the terrorists all emerging from Muslim countries" etc...that's what I got from this and it is also the opinion of the majority of the Muslims (at least the ones in the west). Nothing ground breaking here.

Edit: actually I should applaud her for being brave to speak up in Saudia as a woman tbh

Hurem

Well... She's not wrong.

Zhuge Liang

I agree.

The self acknowledge meant isn't rare at all. This is actually a popular opinion. What's fascinating is that people still try to sugarcoat and defend this cult. ISIS are doing precisely what they were told to do in the Quran, but stupidity and hypocrisy always make people blind.

Wow, i love her

The thing is, it is a failure from only a few parts of the muslim world. Most of the muslims completely stand against terrorism, and you can't say those "parts" represent all of the people. The muslim world has been trying to eradicate terrorism, but it's not that simple either.

In all cases tbh, a world without religions would have been far more ideal than ours.

Edit: Her bravery though

She's really brave for doing what she did - I would be afraid for my life if I were in her shoes to be honest.

Schhh

Very brave

And she's right.

She absolutely delivered that clock swiftly and efficiently. Couldn't have asked for a better MEAL on my plate!

Could you quote the specific passages that give literal justification for killing women, children, elderly and themselves in the name of Allah?

Opacho

She's completely right.

I think you missed the whole point.

Some of them may have emerged from Islamic schools but they are not well educated on Islam. Islamic terrorists are practicing a form of Islam that is cherry-picked and uneducated. The lack of education and proper understanding which comes from lack of Islamic education is actually what created these extremists and allowed them to distort Islam to fulfill their motives. The legitimacy of a Islamic school of thought is established through scholarly consensus and by overwhelming support from the Islamic community. But there have only been near universal denouncement and condemnation of these terrorists from scholars and the Islamic community.

I don't think this is a kind of thing that SA would allow to happen, unless I'm living under a rock .. maybe some other Gulf country
