Here is yet another example of why we don’t see more sincere Muslim reformers.
“‘Anti-Shia’ bomb threats force organisers in Malaysia to cancel seminar about ending Muslim sectarianism,” by Amy Chew, South China Morning Post, July 12, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Organisers of a seminar on the Amman Message – a declaration by Muslim leaders around the world to end sectarianism in Islam – have called off the event in Malaysia after receiving bomb threats by supporters of an “anti-Shia” movement.
The threat exposes the rising militancy against the Shia minority in multicultural Malaysia that has inspired fear among that segment of the community.
The seminar was expected to take place in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.
The Amman Message, initiated by Jordan’s King Abdullah II in 2004, recognises the validity of all eight Islamic schools, including Sunni and Shia, the two largest denominations in the Muslim world.
A Facebook page, called Movement To Eliminate Shia, on July 6 shared a message encouraging its supporters to “make a bomb and throw it at the event”, leading the organisers to cancel the seminar.
The page was created less than three months ago and has more than 18,700 followers.
Another Facebook page, called the Anti-Shia Movement, has over 133,000 followers, underscoring the depth of animosity towards the minority Shia Muslim community in Malaysia.
“There are groups who perceive the forum as the platform to spread Shia [teachings] in Malaysia. They reacted strongly. For them, this [seminar] is a provocative act as Malaysia is a Sunni state,” said Ahmad El-Muhammady, lecturer from the International Islamic University of Malaysia. “It may escalate into violence.”…

Jesus taught “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. –Saint Matthew 7:12 (King James Version)

Battle, the only Bible verse quoted in the Koran is ‘AN EYE FOR AN EYE AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH”.
No version of the Golden Rule is in the Koran.
“Surely, Allah loves not the KAFIRS.” K.3:32
“Surely He does not love the KAFIRS (disbelievers).” K. 30.45
Hate is what Allah wants.
mortimer says
MORE-MUSLIM-THAN-THOU means that opposing theological groups in Islam have a right and a duty to execute the others because they are guilty of BIDA (innovation … inventing ideas not endorsed by Mohammed). Muslims of different groups ironically all feel they may execute the other groups of Muslims that disagree with them.
Islam creates sociopathy through its many jihad verses commanding Muslims to assassinate ‘true believers.’
mortimer says
correction: Islam creates sociopathy through its 164 jihad verses commanding Muslims to assassinate the dirty kafirs ‘disbelievers.’ ‘Takfiri’ Muslims claim that by committing ‘bida’, Muslims from competing sects are ‘kafirs’ whom Allah hates … thus they may be killed, since the ‘bida’ Muslims are heretics who are not considered ‘true’ Muslims.

And yet our ‘leaders’ keep parroting the slogan that Islam is a religion of peace. How can it be when they have been fighting each other for almost 1400 years?
Battle says
Mortimer hits nail on head. Good.
Battle says
Has the owner of the Facebook page been arrested for making the threat?
Bazz12 says
Why didn’t Facebook remove the “Hate” article ? Do I see a two faced Facebook ?
Battle says
To have the conference the college will have to hire more security.
CRUSADER says
What happened to the Islamic imperative of unity within the ummah?
infidel says
Cant even tolerate a fellow Muslim sect who read the same Koran and have mostly identical practices!! How the heck these vile creatures can be expected to tolerate other faiths!!!

That’s akin to trying to recognize, simultaneously, that the earth is flat and a sphere.
