Just out of curiosity, why do Islamic terrorists blow themselves up?  It seems more logical to me to simply drop off a suitcase and walk out.  I know the whole heaven thing is nice to hope for.  But wouldn't god be happier if they set off say... 6 bombs... before they finally died?  One bomb per terrorist just seems like bad math.

That IS a good question, and it doesn't say that all Muslims are terrorists. Personally I've always been afraid to ask it. Can you imagine if Zarkawi is on Yahoo Answers and reads this? I can just hear it.\n"For Allah's, sake! What were we thinking? Read this! Some of these infidels are very clever, may their daughters marry camels. OK, from now on you go to paradise on your 6th bomb ... got that? The first 5 you only sacrifice the back-pack and whoever's standing around."

Muslims don't believe in that.You can not find this in Quran nor in Hadith. God says in Quran that if you kill one person, for me it's like you have killed everyone(it's something that he won't forgive)Muslims are only allowed to go to war if some one attacked them they aren't allowed to start a war.(Mohammad him self NEVER started a war) and the last thing is that there is no such thing as Holy war that CNN is making up for Muslims.

You have not asked the question well...Do you agree we should be making sure islamic terrorists are safe from harm?.... Why should they be kept safe??!!??\n\nIf you see a glint of terrorism in the eyes of a Muslim, whether he be a terrorist or not, he should be whipped. Eliminated. In fact not jsut a Muslim  - Any terrorist or with terrorist inclination.

You idiot! I personally know a bunch of Jews who were killed in the towers. One of them happens to be my aunts brother. And there were many more. What do you say about that?\n\nIt's true that there weren't as many Jews killed, and there is a perfectly logical explanation for that. First of all Jews are only 1% of the worlds population so of course the percentage of Jews killed in the WTC would be less. Secondly, the week before the High Holy Days the we add some special prayers in the morning called "Selichos", which takes a very long time to say. There are countless stories of men who would have otherwise been in the tower, but were late just because of these prayers.\n\nG-d loves us and watching out for his special children. The lucky Jews who spent a few hours that morning begging G-d for a good year, where indeed saved just because of that. \n\nAND YOU'RE JEALOUS!!!!!!!

At what point is a person a "religious extremist"?  If he prays to thank God at meals? How about the football star who kneels in prayer before a game?  Is it when you attend church every week instead of just Christmas and Easter?  Or is just belief in a deity enough?  What is extreme when it comes to religion?  Where is the line drawn?  Who is the authority that defines a "religious extremist"?\n\nCould it be that people who do things that are acting on their beliefs are just being compared to those who claim no belief, or claim a belief but do nothing and so prove they really have no belief at all?\n\nOne day, when I was in high school in the 70s, a girl was reading her Bible in study hall.  She wasn't bothering anyone; just quietly reading her Bible.  The instructor had left the room.  Several students began harrassing her because of the Bible.  I found myself defending her right to read her sacred book in peace, because this is America after all!  In that situation.... who was really the "extremist"????  The person quietly practicing her faith, or the people who thought they had a right to abuse her because they had none?\n\nSue

wether its the act or the react , is the main question. first of all muslims (not muslums) embraced Islam as their way of life (and death), Islam (and all other relegions) never teach its believers to be a bad human,  bad to other human, bad to animals, or even bad to any plants and earth.. Its all begin with a concerted effort by the hidden hands to label muslims apparantly, and they succeeded. They planed their plans hundreds of years ago to achieve this state of global labelling on muslims, they try to play god, but have they forget God;s plan is better than their plans?. God is most Mercyful, all catastrophies on this earth is from our own wrong doings. God created a logical reason just to suit our level of thinkings, has any of us observed how great were the previous nation during civilization before us? have we ever understand why those civilizations, which were great vanished? or is it just a coincident? The Romans were so advance and powerful, but where were they? Was it because of the works of terrorist during their era?.. Where are Babylonians now? Why there is only the Ankor Wat's Temple there, what happened to the Ayuthians? Do they vanished because of the terrorist?\nThis could happen to Americans too.... the signs, the hurricanes, the earth has spoken, lightly... just wait until the dollar values drop in next 7 months... America is Big, if Big falls, it will fall hard...

Islam is not blowing people up.  Timothy McVey (a christian).. he blew something up... it was not christianity that blew up a federal building.\n\nHold people accountable for their actions, not what philosophy they use to ratonalize bad behavior.

why do u think that the muslims are the only people who are creating terrorism... destroying something is too easy than making it.... and destroying countries and societies is called terrorism... which is too easy for anybody!... on the other hand creating peace is difficult but somebody has to step forward to stop terrorism... so usa is the first to come up front for this gr8 effort!...if we keep it up, i think all the islamic countries will help keeping the world safe & clean from terrorism too!

Before 9/11, I've never heard of a follower of Islam who hated Christians. Therefore, I think it's just a select few. And, if you like a place, why should your decision be dictated because the main religion is not your own?

Good question!\n\nI don't know the number of suicide bombers to date.\n\nBut there was that Davidian cult in Waco where they all 57 killed themselves.  Guess it's more than that.\n\nBut given that those without religion (ie atheists) are more likely to commit suicide (whether lack of hope or just plain greater proportion of the population) - it's gonna be them to be honest.\n\nQuestion is which deaths serves more purpose?

Listening to something about the quran for me would be a complete waste of time.  I am a Christian.  My God (you know, the REAL one?) didn't tell us to kill others based on there religion.  Not all muslims are terrorists, but, unfortunately, all terrorists ARE muslim.  It is not my place to accept them, nor to understand them.  They are the wrong doers.  They are the ones that will burn in hell for eternity!  I wish I could see the looks on there faces when they get to hell, and instead of virgins, they have demons!

yeah I read about the Varanasi blasts, my heart goes out to you guys. \nExtremists are really hard to deal with, I would say that no nation should go without responding to attacks. So the government hsould find the terrorist cells among these people and kill them/arrest them. I know it's easier to say, but well, that's what has to be done. \nIt always upsets me to see power-thirsty leaders twist a religion to make people kill others in the name of it.\n\nADDED:\nand Rev Flavel, people have commited horrific acts in the name of your precious Christianity throughout history and still do, so please....

I won't attack.  I've opened my mind.  The motive, Martial Law.  This "attack" didn't happen exactly as it was supposed to, due to crossed signals.  Had that third plane hit the Capitol, George W. Bush would have had the rhyme and reason to declare martial law and have all of his "citizens" live in a police state.  Also, all of the footage from that horrible event shows people standing in the holes of the building, begging to be rescued.  Now, if this jet fuel was hot enough to melt steel and bring the towers down, how did people's human flesh survive long enough for them to plead that their lives be saved?  They were standing in Ground Zero, right were the planes hit.  How is it possible they didn't just burn up?  I'm sure I'll be attacked for my views, but I'm also sure I will be attacked by people who have never opened themselves up to the other side, who actually have no knowledge of the events themselves.

Just because the problem of terrorists has MANY fronts doesn't mean that any ONE of them is less vital to address.  IF, God forbid, you were to ever have children and one was standing in traffic, and the other about to fall off the roof, would it make either of them less critical?  How good of a job could YOU do keeping this country safe?  Demorats would only apologize for not providing better transportation from the border.

It's logic....considering 9/11.  We are concerned with lowering our incidence of another attack.  And the Arab World in general hasn't been so friendly to us either....why with all the people so willing to strap a bomb to themselves and walk into a place where they could kill 20 Americans......It doesn't seem that other regions of the globe are so willing to do the same.....wouldn't you be concerned??

Well what do you know! Should we ignore this and say "ALL religions are coming from God? This child could not get this mentality except some older person taught her or him.\n\nHow much prove do we need until we realise that Islam is not a PEACE RELIGION? The September 11 plane crushes as well also redicules their "lucrative appearance of peace".\n\nIt is not only this:\n\nDID ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW THAT THE KORAN ALSO DISPLAYS DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF PUNISHING YOUR WIFE? Guess what... By beating and by scourging...what on earth\n\nPlease check for yourself...\n\nPlease don't think I'm American...

C’mon: Do you really think nineteen guys with box cutters were behind 9/11? Then why, when no steel-frame building had ever collapsed from fire, did three fall down that day? (One, 7 WTC, wasn’t even hit.) How could a terrorist’s passport emerge in perfect condition? Why was it so important to clear debris before all the bodies were recovered? Did the U.S. secretly plan the whole thing? The 9/11 conspiracy theorists have it all figured out.
