Where Are the Religion of Peace Followers When ‘Allahu Akbar’ Gets Shouted? [WATCH]

A commentator identified as Mackenzie raised questions about the public conversation surrounding terrorism, religion, and how attacks linked to extremist violence are discussed following incidents around the world.

In a statement addressing the topic, Mackenzie argued that public responses after terrorist attacks frequently include reminders that most Muslims are peaceful, while criticism of extremist violence is often discouraged.

“Have you ever noticed that every single time there is a terrorist attack linked to Muslims, which is 99% of the time, we are immediately told about the peaceful Muslim majority, like, Oh, don’t say that you’re you’re going to be Islamophobe, because most of them are peaceful.”

Mackenzie said that if the majority of Muslims are peaceful, an important question remains about how that majority responds to violent extremists.

“Okay, fine. Let’s say that most of them are peaceful. I want to ask a serious question, what is this mostly peaceful majority doing about the minority that keeps killing people like, what? What are they doing? Are they speaking up about it at all?”

Mackenzie also referenced the repeated nature of terrorist incidents in multiple countries and cities, saying the pattern of attacks often includes the same messaging from the perpetrators.

“Because, you know, the attacks keep happening in different cities, different countries, same words. Allah walk by, and we keep being told that, oh no, this has nothing to do with ideology, nothing to do with the religion, nothing to do with the belief system behind Islam, really.”

Mackenzie contrasted that argument with a hypothetical scenario involving attacks committed in the name of Christianity.

“Because let’s think about it for a second. Have you ever seen someone exploding themselves, killing women and children in public, and then screaming, you know, Christ is king. I’ve never seen such thing.”

Mackenzie said that if such attacks occurred in the name of Christianity, the reaction from Christians would likely be swift and forceful.

“And I am sure if this ever happened, all of us Christians would come up and be so against it, we would condemn it like we would be so loud that something like that would probably never happen again.”

Mackenzie argued that the response to extremist violence linked to Islam is perceived differently.

“But we don’t see the same thing with Muslims.”

Mackenzie said remaining silent about violent acts allows those responsible to continue.

“I’m sorry, but if you’re silent in the face of evil, that means you’re protecting the people who are committing the violence.”

The statement concluded with Mackenzie questioning how criticism of extremist violence is often labeled in public debate.

“So how much longer are we going to accept being told that just having common sense and seeing things for what they are makes you a bigot, because the longer we refuse to tell the truth, the more innocent lives are going to be lost because of this nonsense.”
