    Muslims sing for Darfur.

    Considering the amount of negative media Islam seems to get on this site, I figured it was time for a bit of balance.

    Efforts by muslims in Britain to draw attention to the genocide in Darfur.

    Why don't they just tell their co-religionists to stop slaughtering people? That would be a good start.

    Very nice of you. However, I feel Christianity gets even more of a hard time on this site, often from those quick to defend Muslims.

    Well in all fairness, there are plenty of christians on here able to defend themselves.

    That goes without saying. But it's strange that posters would be so caustic when talking about Chritianity, and so sensitive when writing about Islam and its adherants.

    Well, that's because Islam 'needs to be understood'.

    Not really. We tend to view minorities with respect, because we know what can easily happen when hatred for minorities gets out of control.
