No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!<\/p>\n<p><small><small>Sources:<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small><small><a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/science\/how-islamic-inventors-changed-the-world-469452.html\">http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/science\/how-islamic-inventors-changed-the-world-469452.html<\/a><\/small><\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small><small><a href=\"http:\/\/articles.cnn.com\/2010-01-29\/world\/muslim.inventions_1_hassani-inventions-muslim?_s=PM:WORLD\">http:\/\/articles.cnn.com\/2010-01-29\/world\/muslim.inventions_1_hassani-inventions-muslim?_s=PM:WORLD<\/a><\/small><\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ummahedinburgh.co.uk\/radio\/files\/Muslim-Invention-Article.pdf\">http:\/\/www.ummahedinburgh.co.uk\/radio\/files\/Muslim-Invention-Article.pdf<\/a><\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>BURN \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0Forever reblog.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Not a edge in sight<\/p>\n<p>bless\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And what about our Muslim friends?\u00a0 Our Muslim partners?\u00a0 Our Muslim bankers, and in-laws, and doctors, and artists, and editors, and bankers, and writers, and film-makers, and lab workers, and professors, and fellow students?\u00a0 What about our fellow residents of the world?\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>As well (and with justification) blame the world\u2019s sorrows on America, in Panama, in Cuba and the Philippines, in Honduras, in Vietnam, in Cambodia and Laos, in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Columbia, and I\u2019m counting out two World Wars.\u00a0 Maybe I shouldn\u2019t.
