What baffles me about religion is that followers remain silent
Catholic church child sexual abuse, it seems catholics remain silent
Same for the C of E and simiar bible followers
Isreal does something, jews could stand up and say STOP they don't
Muslims also stay quiet when it comes to the small number who commit terror acts
These crimes do not REPRESENT the majority of world wide follows
And yet
John Lennon makde a comment about the beatles being more popular than jesus and causes huge riots and death threats
If someone draws a picture of mohammed it causes offense, I do understand why there are no images, as I think any image can influence how we see that person.
Why can't religious followers stand up for the values they learn about and hold so dearly
@Miro_Collas @edgeofeurope @hesgen
Fair point there, sorry. We just don't see this in the media or don't seem to
@zleap @edgeofeurope @hesgen No, not much in the media perhaps.

Sorry but that's not true. I am seeing *countless* posts from jews, here on mastodon, condemning what the gvt of Israel is doing to Palestinians.
Similarly, I have seen many muslims condemn the Hamas attacks.
(And that's just to cite the most obvious current event.)
