it had occurred to me how muslims are separated by two extremes. we've got the radical extremists, jihadians at one end and at the other, apathetic muslims (like me) who basically couldn't care less or who wish not to get deeply involved with affairs pertaining to the current happenings. these radical kids, a large number of them from the middle east and even some migrants residing in europe, goes through a brainwashing process, misled in a massive way that they'd probably have animosities towards western culture come 12-years-old. and in singapore for example, we've got kids who preach indifferent whatevers, not giving a flying hoot about Islam, growing up to be blind followers.

why can't there be moderates or a neutral group per se? is Islam limited to only these two extremes? a more conscientious group should exist so that the image of, arguably, the most beautiful religion stays proper. the image of Islam is tainted enough to send fear to the world.

other major religions need no image reforms with the modern stereotypes. christianity has been the cool and the 'in' thing, catholicism has the pope to represent them and intriguing controversies strong enough to keep critics on the surface. and judaism, well, who wants to touch them jews knowing the kind of influence they have on the world, their military might and the well-acknowledged fact they are a talented group of individuals who have a million ideas up their sleeves?

the future of Islam with the younger generation of muslims looks bleak with potentially no capable individual to lead the muslims. in other words, we're fucked.
