I couldn't agree more. I believe he should be arrested for sedition, under the Richo statutes. He is a terrorist just like his buddies Saddamm and Bin Laden. Anyone who sides themselves with Islam should be considered a terorrist.

9/11 was a stupid/futile attempt by radicalist muslims to get the US to turn it's back on Christianity and Judaism, and more importantly, Israel.  It is important however to understand that not all Muslims/Islamics follow this belief of war, in fact only a small percentage do.  Bin ladin is one of those few radicals, who twist the words of the Koran around to his will.  Most radicalist muslims in the middle east hold firm to the idea that no Israel full of Muslim holy sites is better that a Jewish Israel full of Muslim holy sites.  The reason why 9/11 was pointless: Bin Ladin thaught that but threatening the USA with planes of mass destruction would pull the Christain/Jew supporting nations out of the Middle East, but all it did was cause the invasion of two Middle Eastern nations and cause a fusion between Pakistan, Israel, and the Western nations, who have unified to stand against those who threaten the freedom and peace that is truly desired by so many Islamic, Christain, and Jewish people

VERY fair...dead he would be a martyr for islam. He would have been honored as a hero, instead of the TRUE heroes of 9-11 and the war on terror. Now he gets to sit in SHAME for the rest of his life. That is if he doesnt "sacrifice" himself first....one can only pray. =)

Islam is a religion, like Christianity and Judaism.  All the followers of Islam are called muslims.  Islam has several sects, just like Christianity which has Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, etc.  Sunnis and Shi'ites are two of the sects of Islam.  Sunnis are the great majority of all muslims.  Shi'ites are in a minority everywhere except Iran.\n\nAfghans are people who are citizens of Afghanistan, a country.  Just like Americans are citizens of the United States of America.\n\nInsurgents are terrorists/rebels who are trying to overthrow the popularly elected government in Iraq.

Immigration.\n\nIf you go to the bbc news website and search for 'muslims in europe' they have a whole article talking about immigration from the former french colonies, and how these people have become isolated from the wider french society - forming muslim ghettos.\n\nIts very topical and interesting - plus all you have to do is rip-off the bbc's article if you wanted to!

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام; al-islām (listen (help·info)), "submission (to the will of God)") is a monotheistic faith, one of the Abrahamic religions, and the world's second-largest religion. Followers of Islam are known as Muslims. Muslims believe that God revealed his divine word directly to mankind through many prophets and that Muhammad was the final prophet of Islam.

Islam is a Intolorant religion.Most non Muslims move out of Muslim countries.Ask a Coptic who lives in Egypt what it is like living there.

Who said Islam is a  hatred religion?\n\nSome in it spread hate in the name of God, these are the leaders of countries that want to use Islam as an excuse to keep their people under control.  They are not holy people.\n\nThe true, peaceful Islam needs to stand up and be heard, and get rid of those that are promoting hatred and violence.\n\nIt has to come from within though.\n\nPeace and God Bless!\n\nFaran is supporting violence...... See the difference between the original question which shows peaceful Islam and the answer by Faran?

Islam had nothing to do with the sept.11 issue.\n\nIslam is a world religion founded by the Prophet Muhammad. Founded in the 7th cent., Islam is the youngest of the three monotheistic world religions (with Judaism and Christianity). An adherent to Islam is a Muslim [Arab.,=one who submits].\n\nBelievers Worldwide\n\nThere are more than 1 billion Muslims worldwide, fewer than one fifth of whom are Arab. Islam is the principal religion of much of Asia, including Indonesia (which has the world's largest Muslim population), Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, the Arabian Peninsula states, and Turkey. India also has one of the world's largest Muslim populations, although Islam is not the principal religion there. In Africa, Islam is the principal religion in Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Djibouti, Gambia, Guinea, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, Somalia, and Sudan, with sizable populations also in Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania (where the island of Zanzibar is predominantly Muslim), and Nigeria.\n\nIn Europe, Albania is predominantly Muslim, and, historically, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Macedonia, and Georgia have had Muslim populations. Elsewhere in Europe, immigrant communities of Muslims from N Africa, Turkey, and Asia exist in France, Germany, and Great Britain. In the Americas the Islamic population has substantially increased in recent years, both from conversions and the immigration of adherents from other parts of the world. In the United States, the number of Muslims has been variably estimated at 2—6 million; 20% of the population of Suriname is Muslim.\n\nIslamic Beliefs\n\nAt the core of Islam is the Qur'an, believed to be the final revelation by a transcendent Allah [Arab.,=the God] to Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam; since the Divine Word was revealed in Arabic, this language is used in Islamic religious practice worldwide. Muslims believe in final reward and punishment, and the unity of the umma, the "nation" of Islam. Muslims submit to Allah through arkan ad-din, the five basic requirements or "pillars" : shahadah, the affirmation that "there is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God" ; salah, the five daily ritual prayers (see liturgy, Islamic); zakat, the giving of alms, also known as a religious tax; Sawm, the dawn-to-sunset fast during the lunar month of Ramadan; and hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. The importance of the hajj can hardly be overestimated: this great annual pilgrimage unites Islam and its believers from around the world.\n\nThe ethos of Islam is in its attitude toward Allah: to His will Muslims submit; Him they praise and glorify; and in Him alone they hope. However, in popular or folk forms of Islam, Muslims ask intercession of the saints, prophets, and angels, while preserving the distinction between Creator and creature. Islam views the Message of Muhammad as the continuation and the fulfillment of a lineage of Prophecy that includes figures from the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, notably Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus. Islamic law reserves a communal entity status for the ahl al-kitab, People of the Book, i.e., those with revealed religions, including Jews and Christians. Islam also recognizes a number of extra-biblical prophets, such as Hud, Salih, Shuayb, and others of more obscure origin. The chief angels are Gabriel and Michael; devils are the evil jinn.\n\nOther Islamic obligations include the duty to "commend good and reprimand evil," injunctions against usury and gambling, and prohibitions of alcohol and pork. Meat is permitted if the animal was ritually slaughtered; it is then called halal. Jihad, the exertion of efforts for the cause of God, is a duty satisfied at the communal and the individual level. At the individual level, it denotes the personal struggle to be righteous a

I think he made fatal mistakes with Islam as he related it with terrorism. I believed that Islam encourage peaceful mind and hate wars.

What do you mean by 'going to stop in Islam'? I'm not sure I fully understand the question. I'm sure that there are gay and lesbian websites that you can see if you want.

I feel Islam has not be positively popularised after WTC. It in fact has negative publicity all over the world. People might hesitate to accept upfront but the inner thoghts are contracdictory.

First of all It's Osama Bin Ladin. He is just like u and me but more desperate, he had seen more brutality than us, has more money and a god damn organisation. He just like us hated when our brothers and sisters are hurt and killed without proper reasons but he acted differently. He just took a step a little further. He is said to be involved in 9/11 attacks. If that's true he did something really wrong. But to him it's fine coz America did and doing the same thing to his muslim brothers and sisters. Whatever it is, he shouldn't have done that. Now, there's no difference between him and America.

u don't know nothing about ISLAM or PROPHET MOHAMMED OR HIS LIFE FROM ANY SIDE ,,\nu have to know this  GREAT MAN be4 u talk like ignorant about HIM\nTHEN U READ QURAN AND HADITHS,,COUZ ALL U SAID IS JUST 100%IGNORANCE ,,\nFIRST MEET THIS MAN\nDo you know this man?\n \n \n \nEncyclopedia Britannica confirms: "...a mass of detail in the early sources shows that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were likewise honest and upright men." (Vol. 12) \n\n            George Bernard Shaw said about him: " He must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness". (The Genuine Islam, Singapore, Vol.1, No.8, 1936) \n\n            He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come. \n\n            "HIS NAME IS MUHAMMAD" May Peace of God Be Upon Him (PBUH) \n\n            He was born in Arabia in the year 570 C.E. (common era), started his mission of preaching the religion of Truth, Islam (submission to One God at the age of forty and departed from this world at the age of sixty-three. \n\n            During this short period of 23 years of his prophethood, he changed the complete Arabian peninsula from paganism and idolatry to worship of One God, from tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and cohesion, from drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety, from lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living, from utter bankruptcy to the highest standards of moral excellence. Human history has never known such a complete transformation of a people or a place before or since - and IMAGINE all these unbelievable wonders in JUST OVER TWO DECADES. \n\n            Lamartine, the renowned historian, speaking on the essentials of human greatness, wonders: "If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls...his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death; all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was two-fold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with the words. \n\n            Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is MUHAMMAD. \n\n            As regards all the standards by which Human Greatness may be measured, we may well ask, IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE? (Lamartine, Historire de la Turquie, Paris, 1854, Vol. II pp. 276-277) \n\n            The world has had its share of great personalities. But these were one sided figures who distinguished themselves in but one or two field, su

As stated by other people, guns were not the downfall of Islam, it was the breakup of the Caliphate (having one ruler) that caused Islam to lose its power. A comment for Starfish, where do u get ur crazy ideas from? World Domination! U must be talking about America not Islam. I suggest that u read & learn! Islam is a religion of peace & understanding. When the christians were slaughtering jews during the Spanish Inquisition who gave them shelter? The muslim! Islam tolerates freedom of religion. Don't be fooled by terrorists who claim to be committing atrocities in the name of Islam. Islam forbids taking innocent lives! Why weren't you people condeming the Catholics when the IRA were blowing up people in the name of Catholocism! They killed thousands of people just because they weren't catholic! Was the church blamed? Oh no! Hypocracy or what!

That is a hoax.\n\n" In March 1983, the United States Department of State released a press statement for embassies and consulates in Muslim countries that attempted to dispel the myth noting that Armstrong had not moved to the country of Lebanon, nor converted to Islam."
