Just your average Muslim

I did, fully aware people got caught in the crossfire of fear and revenge that millions of people felt after seeing the "religion of peace" show it's true colours. Was it right? Absolutely not. But let's take a walk down memory lane and look at why nobody should ever regard this barbaric religion as one of peace:

In 2018 alone, there were 1,976 Islamic attacks in 56 countries in which 11,769 were killed and 11,483 people were injured.

How many people did White Nationalists, far right extremists and Neo Nazis kill/ injure in the same year? 15 were killed and 7 were injured...

It's not white people you should be afraid of, it's your own "brothers" and "sisters".

"But they're an extreme minority..." There is no "leader" of Islam. Nobody to guide the masses as to what is right or wrong, only the Quran can dictate what is right or wrong to "true muslims". The same book that glorifies scores of horrific acts against children, non believers, women, other faiths particularly the Jews. So when the "extreme minority" follow this guide and read:

Verses 190-194, Surah Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2) - 2.191. Kill them whenever you confront them and drive them out from where they drove you out. (For though killing is sinful) wrongful persecution is even worse than killing. Do not fight against them near the Holy Mosque unless they fight against you; but if they fight against you kill them, for that is the reward of such unbelievers.

They wholeheartedly believe what they're doing is right. Islam has no place in the 21st century let alone western civilisation. Violence is wrong no matter who it's coming from, what their background or beliefs are. So if you're going to live in fear, at least fear those who are outputting the most violence.
