Two Canadian Muslim Chicks Comment on the Taliban's Brutal Shooting of a Young Muslima Activist. Only One of Them Dares to State the Painful and Obvious Truth

This being the International Day of the Girl, let's see how two very different Muslimas responded to the Taliban's latest feat of savagery--singling out a mouthy young chick for execution. First, what say you, Amin Elshorbagy, president of "the Saskatoon-based (?) Canadian Islamic Congress" (the outfit behind Islamic History Month Canada)?

"Over here we can say anything we want...But Islamic scholars in these regions need to state in very clear terms, that don’t carry double interpretations, that these acts are not Islamic."

Yeah, that's bound to do the trick, Amin.
 
And now, let's hear from Raheel Raza, a mouthy chick--and anti-sharia activist--herself. Ms. Raza knows that while Canadians certainly have far greater freedom to express themselves than folks over in Pakistan do, there are certain things that some Muslims simply do not want to hear, no matter where they happen to live:

[Raza] said she was particularly perturbed by messages she received in response to her posting on Facebook of a public letter the Taliban wrote justifying the attack.

The letter boasted responsibility for the shooting, in response to Malala’s “campaign against Islamic law and secularism.” Raza received a torrent of messages from Muslims after the posting, claiming that the Taliban were not Muslim.

“Somehow if the accused is not a Muslim it’s not considered their responsibility. People distance themselves by saying they’re not Muslims,” she says.

“The unfortunate truth of the matter is that they are Muslim. Saying they are not Muslims does not solve the problem.

“If we go back to our history, we will see that the people who killed the grandson of the Prophet were also Muslim – and said their prayers before committing the act. But there is a deafening silence when I bring this up.

It is only the bravest of women who would dare speak truth to the resounding silence, thereby making herself a target for those who would like nothing more than to silence her.
