I did not accuse anyone of insincere hand wringing (although I expected that I would be). I was accused of being heartless because I didn't participate in the public display of emotion. I was pressed by several people on this. I gave my reason for not participating in that. I was the one who was being judged. I did not judge anyone else. If other people want to participate in public displays of emotion, that's their business, but don't judge me if I don't do it that way.

My entire point was that people shouldn't assume that Muslims haven't spoken out about what happened to this girl. But other people needed to project their own garbage on me and they made this thread about me instead of the actual subject of the thread. I did not judge anyone. I pointed out that we shouldn't assume that Muslims don't speak out, and I was viciously attacked by several people.


I see that what the thread originator had in mind was for people to discuss how the West relates to Islam in general. I find that ironic seeing as how that's precisely what my posts in this thread have been about, and yet my posts have been deemed unacceptable.
