People acting in the name of Islam are on a killing spree right now, across the world. And they don't go for the clean kill, they crucify, they dismember, they skin, they cut babies in half in front of their parents... this isn't movie stuff, this is really happening. I've been to Jordan, I've been to the camps... I've heard the sh1t that goes on and I've heard it first hand.
I'm not going to answer your suggestion that, so long as people are white, then that's okay because frankly it's beneath contempt.
Getting together for a weekend and denouncing violence isn't enough. Moderate Muslims need to step up more because it's mostly THEY who are being slaughtered. Those Muslims living the soft life in the West need to speak up for their brothers and sisters in UN camps right now their homes destroyed and their loved ones dead.
The "extreme minority" of which you speak runs into MILLIONS. And every time anyone suggests Islam is dangerous and violent we have post after post suggesting that the majority of Muslims are peaceful. Well... we know that. And we know that 30,000 Muslims "from across the world" getting together and denouncing violence is like me throwing stones into the sea because there are sharks in there.

one of the best posts I've ever read on here. It's so true.
People do not realise what kind of horrific things go on over there, what they do to families who have a different faith... There are things I've read that have made me physically sick. And I genuinely mean it, i had to stop listening to the interview... if you're squeamish then its best not to read on, but I read that they tie babies legs to each of their parents and pull the parents apart from each other until... you get the picture. And thats not even the worst thing I've heard.
Yes, people of all religions kill, but this is a problem that needs addressing. It's a terrifying thought what they can do if we don't put a stop to it.
