Islam demands that the people are moral and good, right? If then Islam demands that of its followers, could it be that they hate the corrupting influence of Western Culture as a whole? I mean all they see coming from America is what Hollywood puts out: violence, free sex, homosexuality, more sex, more violence, girls looking like hookers, etc. If this is all they see it would not be hard to see why they do what they do.
Do I agree with how they are going about trying to change the situation? NO! But they are doing what they think they must to keep their children out of the clutches of the the filth spewing forth from the Hollywood. |
For your theory to work you have to admit that people who follow the Islam faith are shallow. Your theory implies that they are the kind of people who judge hundreds of millions as a whole, and even decide to kill, because of a few hollywood films they have seen. That they don't even try to see if people in the states really act like "filth spewing" beings but would rather just judge them recklessly no matter if they're innocent or not. I don't know their reasons myself, but I would like to think that they have a reason deeper than Hollywood films.
Have you heard of the country the Philippines? It is an archipelago nation devided into three parts whose religious populations are torn between Christians and Muslims. 2/3 Christians, majority of which are in Visayas and Luzon. 1/3 muslims, majority of the which is in Mindanao. We'll even without the influence of Hollywood, Muslims still do suicide bombings in Visayas and Luzon.
When I asked a Muslim classmate why people do that, she told me that it's a way to go to their "heaven". I didn't ask any deeper. |
That was probably a good call, doubly so if she was wearing a bulky jacket at the time.
