Muslims & Free Speech

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 

All this talk of free speech when Muslims and Islam are insulted is disingenuous.  It is a fact that Muslims are easy targets in places like Europe and the United States.  But why are we in this wretched state?  It is because we do not know how to organise, and how to engage with the non-Muslims, which is particularly important when we are the minority.  And it because we have taken upon ourselves the role of the underdog and are unfamiliar with addressing policymaker and stakeholders. 

This state of disenfranchisement delegitimises our leaders and feeds the rhetoric of extremists.  We should learn from the experience of the Jews.  Otherwise, we will learn that lesson through our own Holocaust.  The quote below is from Col. Oliver Laurence North.
