This is what makes the constant effort to appease and coddle the feely-weelings of poor little Muslims so ridiculous: time and time again they produce a representative who gives evidence that when they were handing out feelings of entitlement and fat egos, Muslims got more than their share. The latest example is that of a so-called "Muslim leader" who is miffed about plans the Russian Orthodox church has about building a memorial on the site of the massacre of Beslan children by Muslim terrorists. But he's not upset because this memorial would remind everyone about what Muslim terrorists are capable of -- he's upset because "it would hijack a national tragedy."
No, really. Here's the statement:
"It is not acceptable to present this tragedy as the tragedy of followers of only one religion," Sheikh Ravil Gainutdin, chairman of the Council of Russian Muftis, said in a statement.
Yeah, it was too bad all those Muslim children were killed. What, Beslan is a majority Christian community? Never mind....
Muslims are the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. If you give them the attention they want, like all attention addicts, they won't go away -- they'll just act up even worse the next time. Want to bet if this memorial thing goes forward it gets put on the attack list of all Muslim terrorists in the area? Never mind that it's a memorial to murdered children. They're only dhimmi brats -- they don't count.

Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me. And Muslim apologists wonder why so many people are suspicious of Muslims...

Yes, not terribly shocking to me either.

"...the victims -- half of them children -- killed in a clash between insurgents and Russian troops."
Odd, but I don't remember that the dead were just unfortunate bystanders in a "clash" of fighters. My memory must be failing.

Good Gawd this is pathetic. 333 people - half of them children - are killed in a blatantly religious attack, & this poor schmuck says it isn't the tragedy of followers of one religion. Does he acknowledge that it's a 'tragedy' COMMITTED by followers of one religion ON the followers of another religion?
Sickening.

What a pathetic attempt to steal the victim status from the children of Beslan for the Muslims......who don't deserve it, let alone need it.
