Where are the marches against the Islamic State?

This summer, many Muslims marched in the streets of London, Paris and other cities to condemn the deaths of Gazans at the hands of Israel . Of course it makes sense to protest the bombing of schools and residential buildings. I marched in the streets against Israel’s invasion of Lebanon when I was a student, and I marched against the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. But, inexplicably, there have been no similarly large-scale demonstrations against the Islamic State for its horrific acts against Christians, Yazidis and even its fellow Muslims in Iraq and Syria. And there certainly haven’t been any marches protesting the beheading of innocents . It’s not hard to organize a march. So where are the demonstrations?

This is not the first time this question has occurred to me. For years, I have wondered about this absence of public outrage. When I asked about the murder of Iraqi civilians by Sunni and Shiite gangs, my fellow Muslims dodged my questions: “Why did the United States invade Iraq in the first place?” Yes, the U.S. invasion was a mistake. But why is it so hard to take a stand against the killing of women and children? I never got a straight answer.

To be sure, many Muslims have spoken out against the Islamic State, and some clerics have condemned this gang of terrorists; Qatar-based Islamic scholar Yusuf Qaradawi, for instance, said the Islamic State violates sharia law and declared “null and void” the group’s declaration of a caliphate in Iraq and Syria. But their words merely echoed those of non-Muslims who have called for an end to the violence. Surely we can do better. Don’t Muslims have a responsibility to speak out more loudly than others? We need the world to see anti-Islamic State marchers taking to the streets with the passion that we saw at the Gaza rallies in London and Paris. Mainstream Muslims must express our rejection of extremism in clear terms, while doing whatever we can to stop young people from radicalizing.

That is bcz islamis - so called moderates and secular ones - consider all muslims as their brothers - and it is haraam to criticize a fellow muslim - no matter if he is a sufi saint or a mogul emperor - in front of a non-muslim. Muslims are just lip-service mamas.

THAT IS SOMETHING NO MUSLIM WILL ACKNOWLEDGE HONESTLY and no non-muslim understands that "fact"

P.S. How about muslim organizing mega protests in all Arab capitals - including stone throwing, flame throwing, pertrol bombing, killing and burning ? Isn;t that what they do in non-muslim capitals when some guy burns a a paper copy of Koran ? Let us see some protests at least with the SAME intensity.

No, there won't be any of these protests. Some infidels my be killed and maybe a few riots in the lands of the impure, but no protests against the believers.

Islamis cite every small incident against a muslim in any country and blow it up as some kind of a conspiracy against the muslim ummah. That is how they have created a sort of unity - despite their casteist differences...

If the muslims can use lies to unify their co-religionists, people like Yogi and Amit should use the factual atrocities and sufferings of hindus to unify them. There is nothing wrong.

After all dont we preach "Satyamev Jayate"?

You seem to agree with the view that Amit Shah & Yogi idiot types are al-baghdadi's of Hinduism; if you don't see anything wrong with them then I'm afraid, as I said a few days ago, you're an unguided missile just as that muslim fellow from Kalyan who joined ISIS and got killed in Iraq.
