Islam is the religion of Peace

Finally someone who gets my point of view. \n\nWhen Muslim terrorist attack, the rest of the Muslim world can't just say quietly "Islam means peace." \n\nKillers and Murders are dragging the meaning of their faith through the mud and they do nothing about it, to me that makes them just as guilty.\n\nMuslims blame the media for making it seem like all Muslims are terrorist, it's not the media's fault since Muslims aren't doing anything to show that is not true. Since Muslims don't do enough to stop these actions.

The Islamic civilization is under suspicion and being accused, because a very few members of the Islamic religion is trying to obliterate countries that do not agree with them, which is most of the world.  I know that this is a very few members of Islam, not all of them.

That's really rude. I agree that Islam is not a good thing, and has lied to many people. But that's not the right way to say it.

I have grown up amongst Muslims my entire life and they are one of the friendliest and most charming people around the world.\n\nWhen the news first broke, yes, Muslims were portrayed over the media as violent. Over the course of time, you will notice that the media has actually become more careful in their labels. Now, they are 'Muslim separatist groups' or 'Muslim terrorist groups' - groups perpetuating violence under the guise of religion. Sometimes, they do not even have the word Muslim in the front. However, the damage has already been done, and now, everyone just bandies 'Muslims are bad' about.\n\nYou have to also consider the Crusades or the Spanish Inquisition, did they not justify violence by whitewashing it with religion during its 'heyday'? To better understand what a particular religion is all about, find out about it. Don't just listen to the news. Why label a people by the actions of a few bad apples? Would you like it if someone else did the same thing to you?\n\nFood for thought; Catholic priests and altar boys. If one was not unfamiliar with the religion, what do you think the impression would be? That Catholicism breeds perverts, perhaps?

Because radical islam (keep in mind I said radical, and not all of islam) are insane.  I don't want to hear that their culture is different yadda yadda yadda.  No their is no culture that would be sane if it promoted sawing off peoples heads.  They hate.  They arte no different than the nazi.

that you are 1/2 right. First part good, second part bad. Being a terrorist happens because of a belief. Terrorists come in all shapes, sizes, colors, nationalities, and religons.

There is a difference between Islamic Fundamentalists and Islamic Fundamentalist  Terrorist's.  The terrorist'sare spread out between all the Muslim Countries, yet there is no country that is terrorist alone.  So we actually have a war against an ideal and not against a particular country.  The terrorist backing is growing and the fact that they use things such as the political cartoons as reasons to get thousands of people to protest over them.  One does not know exactly who the enemy actually is.  That is what terrorism is all about one minute everything looks completely innocent and the next you have been attacked and there is nobody left on sight to go after, they have died completing their mission.  Can we surgically remove all of this cancer on mankind without killing many innocent?  It is not very likely but it is the direction that we have taken this war.  We certainly have the weapons to remove all of the people of this region of the world several times over.  One must wonder if the terrorists are not also playing to the hearts and minds of the rest of the Islamic Fundamentalist's when many of the rioter's of the past week have chanted bin Ladens name and asked for retaliation against the western world to be carried out by him.  It would seem to me that our government certainly must be looking at these incidents very carefully.  I can not speak for the rest of the Western World, however I know that the U.S. has the power to destroy the world several times over and could certainly remove most Islamic Fundamentalist's in one swift blow and it is our restaint in wanting to be fair that keeps this from happening.  Most of today's terrorist activity is being aimed at other Muslims and not at the western world, which raises a whole list of other questions.  The answer to your question is the U.S. is not afraid of standing up to Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorist's, however that does not include the entire Muslim population in the world.

what kind of question is this? you could start a conflict with this, a war even. Islams are completely misunderstood. Do not judge based on your ignorance. And to answer the guy upstairs, Islam isn't the root of terrorism. Everyone is entitled to be a terrorist.

Quite an easy answer really.\n\nIt's because Islam butt's their noses in everyone elses business first.\n\nIf they kept themselves to themselves and didn't do stupid things like blow up buses and hijack airplanes, then we'd be very happy to leave you all alone to yourselves.

Absolutely not.  Islam is being used as a scapegoat because people want someone to blame and it's easier to group an entire religion together.  It's not the religion, it's a sect of people within the religion.\n\nYes, many of the people committing terrorist acts are Islamic, that does not make the religion one of terrorism.  Islam is very similar to Judiasm, Chrisitianity and most religions, really, in that it focuses on love.  The love between Allah and His people as well as love among all people.\n\nBut like all religions, it gets twisted.  People take what they want and create their own perverts interpretations.  But the true nature of Islam is one of love.

Not all muslims are terrorists but almost all terrorists are muslims.  There are about 140 armed conflicts going on in the world today and muslims are involved in every one of them.  Definitely not a peaceful religion.

Im betting more Mosques have Weapons than what we know of since there are at least 7 brands of Islam and a lot of Muslims think that Violence against a Non-Muslim is ok.\n\nNot to mention a lot of Muslims have absolutely no regard for the laws of America, Australia and Europe.

I don't need to go to your link to answer that. The reason is that some Muslims will attack anything, or anyone, at anytime, for any reason.

You probably mean Islam, which is NOT the root of all terrorism. Haven't you ever heard of radical Christians blowing up abortion clinics in the name of jesus? Or the bloody fighting in Ireland?  \n\nThere are terrorists of every religion. No religion has any exclusive lock on being a terrorist, and the root of terrorism is ignorance and fanaticism\n\nToo many people know too little about Islam, and form their beliefs about it and its followers based solely on what the evening news wants you to think.

The real Islamic religion doesn't preach what the terrorists believe.  It's twisted like so many religions are to suit the views of the fundamentalists.  I would imagine that some Islamic peoples are angry and scared about how their religion has been twisted.  I would be.  I'm Christian and I can't stand the thought of what the Crusades did.  Barbaric.  People of all cultures need to realize that not all Islams think like the zealots.  They are living, breathing, caring people and should be supported as such.

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!
