Terror & Violence in the West by Christians among themselves (Vol. II) Humanist and Secular Muslims (HaSM)
Responding to Hate against Muslims: Over 200 internal web pages of articles, resources, and insights

NOTE: We categorically reject using the intolerance, hate crimes, racism and discrimination exposed or recorded on this web site or elsewhere - which Muslims, Arabs and other visible minorities suffer from or experience in western nations - to make any kinds of generalizations about the west, Christianity, the white race, or any other kinds of generalizations.

Generalizations are not only irrational, they do not reflect reality, and we have no use for them. No matter how many "white", "Christian", "westerners" practice intolerance and racism, the overwhelming majority are the most decent, tolerant people imaginable. Significantly, the same applies to the other side, the Muslim side, and indeed one could invoke the same in every other "side", Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, etc. as evidence to that truth.

Terror & Violence in the West by Christians among themselves
Volume II

Non-Muslim associated crime and violence, abuse of women and children, riots and disorder, death threats, pedophilea etc., in the world.

Does not include bombings by western governments, war-induced casualties, air raids or targeted killings that result in the death of innocent people, etc.. Does not include the military events, violence, civilian casualties of the armed conflicts that the west, or Israel, is involved in, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestinian territories, etc..

Why are those catalogues included on this web site?

The reason for including those catalogues of 'Non-Muslim Violence' is solely to challenge and respond to the hatemongering haters of Muslims who use every crime or incident of violence committed by some Muslims among the 1.3 billion Muslims in 55 nations in the world to bash, denigrate, insult, vilify, demonise Muslims and Islam collectively, simply to fulfil their - the haters' - need to quench their thirst for hate and to further their dark agendas.

The western world, the non-Muslim Asian world, the Eastern European world, Catholic Latin America, and Israel have as much, if not much more, violence and wrongs to their name as Muslims do. And those wrongs are ongoing and occur on a daily basis.

The point is, better focus on our shared humanity - what good the vast majority of the members of any group, be it religious, racial, ethnic, or national - share in common than to selectively pick on crimes that exist in all groups as if they were specific to one only, which is the modus operandi of the haters on either side.

Many of our HaSM articles address that point in detail. See for example 'Hate against Muslims again, and again, and again', which specifically analyses how terrorism in the world is a factor of a number of determinants and not at all the religion of the perpetrators.

The different faiths, races, and nations of the world can begin rapprochement and reconciliation only by recognising and acknowledging that any attempt at pinning wrongdoing and evil exclusively on any one faith, race, or nation is not only contrary to all available evidence and therefore misleading and unrealistic, but is also malicious in nature and only serves to widen the gap between different groups, rather than bring them together for the sake of the peace and harmony of the world.
((Read also our Home Page view which crystalizes the essence of HaSM and its web site: A Realistic Path to Reconciliation))

So, please note: These catalogues are included here simply to remind haters who single out Muslims that human beings are all the same. In every group there is the bad and the good. No one group is all evil or all good. The only people who deserve to be stereotyped as being truly all evil are the haters in every group.

The world would be a great place if they were all grouped together under �haters� label and exiled to a land set aside for them. The other few billion human beings would get along together superbly.

As expressed variously in articles on this web site, moderate, average Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and others get along very well everywhere around the world where they are given a chance to get along. That means wherever the haters aren�t working their evil machinations and schemes successfully.

In other words, all of humanity are brothers and sisters and act it, as witnessed all over the world, and the only divisiveness that exists is created by that minute but vocal segment of humanity - a portion of which exists in all groups - that loves to hate and loves evil, instead of loving goodness and fellow woman and man.

"...if you look at the sweep of history, Christian militancy has wreaked far greater destruction than anything managed by Islam. There are continents of people who were subjected to Christian soldiers marching onward and who are therefore not terribly sympathetic when we (the west) complain of Islamic militantism."

John Ralston Saul (Canadian philospher and author), from 'On Equilibrium', 2001, pages 87-88.

REMINDER: HasM has no interest whatsoever, indeed it saddens it, and it's a burden upon it, to point out comparisons between religions or different groups - the west, Christianity, etc. - but it's hand is forced by those who relentlessly direct hate, vilification, and denigration at Muslims.

Unfortunately, in responding to hate attacks one is forced to make comparisons. However, wherever we can, we do our best to keep as closely as possible to refuting the attacks without pointing out or emphasizing the ills of the attackers' group.

We hold the position that the haters are exceptions in the groups they belong to, not the norm. We do not, in the least manner, care to upset the good members of the groups that such haters belong to (at least nominally), whether they be "the West", white, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, atheist, or whatever.

Please keep that in mind in any arguments in which we have been forced to point out the ills of the attackers' or other groups.

And we wish to sincerely apologise ahead of time for any upset or chagrin we may cause the good decent people of the groups to which those haters belong. We ache as we find ourselves cornered into responding in a manner we would never have, had our hand not been forced.

Those exposing wrongs, especially if they are of the group in which the wrong was committed, deserve great praise, since their own honesty and forthrightness serves to distinguish between the good and the bad in that group rather than stereotype it in the eyes of others.

VOLUME II

The western world is doing very well on its own in crime, violence, terrorism, and genocide, without any Muslim involvement

NOTE: Many of the crimes below, and literally hundreds of thousands of others like them, validate and give significance and credence to our Western Terror Alerts analysis (NO, the analysis is not about "terrorism") and to our opinion articles that assess the real threats to the safety, security, peace of mind, and mental health of western people.
