This flawed analogy! What you trying to imply that some one saying "I'll kill your man and rape your women but rest assured that it's just a reaction to save you from oppression"
Any way enough said!!
On topic .. as I've posted in my previous post. Islam is highly institutionalized religion. Why the scholars of of Islam allow people to misinterpret it to manipulate the masses to kill God's own creation in the name of God?
Dear @
sms As i have mentioned on a different thread. There is no concept of clergy in Islam. It is obligatory on each and every individual following this belief to develop understanding of what has been preached by Islam and to do research. If a person fails to find answers to his quest, after using his ability, he or she should consult someone better for guidance. It is a known fact that original concepts keep changing with the passage of time, because of intermediaries. Thus noise comes between the original message and the receiver. This is a well-known error in communication. This distortion of communication sometimes changes the concept of the original communication itself. Allow me to refer to a common saying that if ten people are standing one line and you whisper Khitchri to first person and ask him to do the same for person standing next; this process will end to something like Kha Chri. Noise cannot be avoided in any type of communication.
With this preamble, according to Islamic belief, God knew about the shortcomings in his creation; therefore, he has guaranteed protection of Holy Quran. Now it is incumbent upon the followers to understand the Holy Book in actual letter in spirit. Unfortunately, this did not happen. If you look at Indo Pak history, until recently, most incompetent person of the family was trained to become religious figure. Idea was that the person will be able to earn his living off religion. Logically, speaking if a person is incompetent in worldly affairs how can he be competent in the Divine affairs, where messages have been transmitted in coded form. Even the best of the best cannot decipher unlimited mysteries. Over the period of time clergy developed into an institution; the most incompetent people became professors of most difficult subject. Common man who was supposed to do research, started relying on the weekly Friday Sermons. Instead of seeking the origin, these sermons became the right interpretation of Islam.
Now coming to your question, of scholars not stopping misinterpretation. First of all those who got their religious education from already incompetent people are not scholars. They will preach what they have been taught with the pinch of their own induced noise. Scholars are those who are have knowledge of modern education, religious education and have done sufficient research in religion (i.e. Sought the truth). Now it is very easy for anyone to understand between an Islamic Scholar and quack scholar.
No religion of the world supports cruelty on mankind; especially Islam which in its own meaning means peace and kindness. Islam clearly states that murder of an innocent person is murder of whole humanity and words to that effect. How can a religion, which relates killing of an innocent person to murder of humanity, can advocate unnecessary aggression? Those who think that Islam should be implemented by force are also wrong. Because Islam has clearly stated that there is no force in religion.
Now the question arises as to why present day Muslims are put in the category of inhumane. This is purely commercial aspect of worldly affairs. Islam is the second largest religion of the world and fastest growing too. Almost 23% of the world population comprises of Muslim and increasing. Islam has certain ethics, which do not match to the concepts of modern lifestyle. This hinders commercial interests of organisations. It has nothing to do with the religion and is purely of commercial nature. Other religions have more or less digressed from their original values and accepted modern living (which I define later). For example concept of veil has been there in every religion, may it be Christianity; Jewish, Hinduism, etc. Women in every culture whether associated with any religion have been guarded and kept as sacred entity. It is due this reason prostitution is being looked as a taboo, even in todays era. Now commercial organizations see Islam as hindrance in the sale of their products, which enhance female sexuality.
Therefore, a war has been waged against Islam to do a two prong attack. First to discourage people for taking interest in Islam; thus, reducing the growth rate of conversion. Second, to create a divide within Muslims; by creating this divide two groups have been formed one who are extremist and propagating those ideas which does not commensurate with the original teachings. Second, a liberal group which is ready to leave their basics and are Muslims by name only. In this bargain a devoid of followers of actual Islamic values is created, which is modest and are hindering the commercial interests. This objective cannot be achieved without involvement of individuals who have some religious standing. In todays era many have a price tag attached and will be more than happy to do anything for money. So we have so called religious scholars who are advocating extremism, which is projected well on media; and we have the media which is promoting liberalism. Moving the masses from a moderate and modest way of life.
I end my post with a question. Since when this extremist factor become evident in the world, barring subcontinent; its life is not more than two decades. Whereas, Islam came up as a religion 1400 years ago and for more then 1300 years religions have been living in harmony, if not then at least in peace.
