It saddens me that Islam will be remembered for the violence its believers do in its name, than for the good and peaceful message it actually tries to bring to humanity. Can you blame the non-Muslims for thinking that way when its leaders say things like:
About 3,000 people joined a rally in Gaza to celebrate the attack. Hamas military wing spokesman Abu Obeida was among them and told The Associated Press: "The Qassam Brigades announces its full responsibility for the heroic operation in Hebron."
One of the women killed was pregnant. 3,000 people came out to cheer for the murder of a pregnant woman. Islam is a violent religion, that's what the court of public opinion will say.
No doubt, the "infidels" have murdered and killed many Muslims too. Wikileaks is full of reports where innocent civilians in Afghanistan have been blown up by accident, "collateral damage". The difference is that they don't come out and proudly cheer the fact. In fact, they own up to the errors, and do their best to minimize it.
It's frustrating for me, and perhaps for other peace-loving Muslims. I have a hard time reconciling the actions of my "brothers", and i struggle to believe that we even belong to the same faith. No faith of mine will cheer for the killing of civilians.
