Islam is a very aggressive religion. Of all of the wars/conflicts in the world, something like 95% of the at least ONE if not BOTH sides are Muslim. If you read about what people are doing to innocent women and children in places like Algeria, Sudan, Indonesia in the name of Islam it's bad(cutting the throats of whole families if they don't observe Islam as devoutly as they should, burn torture to enslaved christian children if they refuse to learn Islam, etc....)

As a friend of a Muslim family from Pakistan. Let me put some first hand observation on this topic. If it was told (truth)the Muslims do believe in Jesus, they believe He was a Prophet, not the Son of God Mu hammed to them was a Prophet also and Allah is there god. They feel that Christians and Jews are infidels, we are not worthy of knowing the truth. We are so wrong and there true purpose is to convert as many as they can to being a Muslim they call it the only true religion. They intend on ruling the world, they're a waring group, even among themselves. They fight like crazy amongst themselves. They feel superior to anybody other than other Muslims. They feel they are the right linage to Abraham through Ismael.  Abraham was a Jew. They hate Jews, go figure. I am not sure they really know what they believe. It would take a really good shrink to break down that confusion.  As we know they function on hate and destruction.

I'm a Muslim so probably what I would have to say might make you guys think that I am biased. But my answer is simple: no, I do not think the Muslims are bad people. The only bad people are those who are using the name of Allah and Islam to wage jihad (the holy war). Muslims do not encourage war, on the contrary - we are a very peaceful religion. It is those who take it to the extremities who are the ones who are making Muslims look bad.\n\nWearing a burqa is the sign of extremity. In Islam, you are only required to cover certain parts of your body - for the women, you are required to wear a scarf and cover your entire body to from shoulder to knee. To cover the face isn't a necessity but those who take it to the extremes feel that if a woman doesn't cover her face in the presence of men, it would lead the men to committing sin such as rape and so on and so forth. Mind you, that is hypocritical bulls***. I don't believe in that.\n\nIn some places where Islam is taken to the extremes, they stone women for committing adultery. I remember a few years ago when a woman was condemned to death by stoning for committing said adultery and getting pregnant. When this took place, the world Muslim world was thrown into an outrage. In an age of modernity, stoning should not be an issue anymore. But yet, there are some of those among the Muslims who see it as a punishment. An act to repent thy sins.... I say, yeah whatever.\n\nThat said, it is proof enough that not all Muslims are bad. There are those who still protest over stoning, those who are constantly fighting for the rights of women, and those who still are angered over 9/11 and the actions of those who think irrationally. Rewarded with a dozen women and the pleasures of heaven for fighting in the name of God? I think not. Not especially if you're fighting for all the wrong reasons. The Muslims are not bad people. The extremists are.

NO. It is a myth created by the liberal media outlets. Islam is a fanatic religion. I invite anyone to go to any and every arab and muslim country and conduct a poll and ask them what they think of america? what they think of the west? what they think of christians? what they think of jews? i guarantee that majority of every muslim and arab country will answer negatively. \n\nThis is not a matter of opinion, just open your eyes, and take a look at the world. Islam is not being spearheaded by a few "extremists". These extremists are the people, and they are supported by the people. So moderate islam does NOT exist. Sure there are a few muslims that are less interested in terrorism, but for the most part, they are all brainwashed, and will all share the same fate.\n\nI said, the answer is NO!

I've been living in Egypt, which is an Islamic country, for 19 years now. Muslims are very friendly just like any other people on earth. I never heard that Qur'an instigates them to occupy oether peoples' lands. If you look around you will find that it is the other way around: Muslims are occupied in all cases by nonmuslims and are trying to get their lands freed

well said! I'm not a muslim, I'm a christian but I get sick of the pettymindedness too. A lot of it is ignorance, they know nothing about Islam except what they are fed by the media- I think it is up to moderate muslims to raise their voices and be heard loud and clear.\nI believe that religious extremism is a major problem in the world today, and people need to be shown that it is possible for people of all faiths to live in harmony, as they have done for centuries already. \nI wish you peace.

hey all, \nI wanna tell u something that most people don't know 'bout Allah 'n' Jesus.\nthey're existing....... how?\n*muslims believe in allah as god for them\n*christians believe in Jesus as god for them\n*muslims believe in Jesus as messenger \n**In islam, the one who doesn't believe in Allah and Prophet Mohammed also Jesus(Issa) is not a muslim...\nalso the one who doesn't believe in Koran, Gospel and Torah is not a muslim.\nIn general, we're not here to fighting each other... we're here to talking in reasonable way.

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.

I like how the islamic people who answered the question keep saying, "don't listen to people who say bad things about us."\n\nI don't believe islam is, in and of itself, a bad religion. I just think the fringe in this religion is more tenacious than the fringes of other religions. There are christian psychos but they're not blowing themselves up in Saudi Arabia or the UAE. There are jewish fanatics but they're not blowing up christian churches.\n\nI think the stigma towards islam is, and muslims cannot deny this, if you look at almost every major violent conflict in the world, islam is somehow involved: india v. pakistan, israel v. palestine, russia v. chechnya, bosnia v. serbia, east timor, philipines, etc. etc.\n\nSometimes the muslims are the victims but often they are the aggressors. From an outsiders perspective, though muslims are peaceful, they do not seem too tolerant of others views.

No, I've been very lucky. If anything, once people know more about my religion after I explain things to them, they usually have high respect for my beliefs. I haven't been made fun of, just annoyed sometimes by people's ignorance. That's about it. However, I don't really blame them for not knowing about Islam. They live in a society where it is still quite unusual to them. Our job is to educate them, and let them know about our beliefs. I enjoy talking to people about my religion. The worst thing they'll do is act like they're not interested, and then I won't push the issue. I have almost been bullied by someone before, but stood up for myself, and put them in their place. We ended up respecting each other, and had no future problems. Sometimes, you have to stand up for your beliefs. As far as being called a terrorist, lol! I am so used to hearing that word, that I've become immune to it. As long as we know that is a lie made up by the government, and that we are peaceful, then we will project that to others, and they will want to be our friends, Insha Allah. That is the attitude I approach others with. If they don't want to like me because I am a Muslim, then I really don't think they matter any way. Salam.

First of all, do you think terrorists are really truly good muslims?  I mean just ask any muslim guy or gal, like me, and we will condemn whatever they have done.  As a muslim, I believe in peace and tranquility, i believe in diplomacy, and our Prophet always tried to handle things as peacefully as he could.  These so called extremists are NOT supported by majority of the muslims.  Most of the time, they are religously ignorant and you can't blame or stereotype all the muslims to do the same thing.\n\ninin jomo,  i really apppreciate you quoting the quran.  Thank you!

This assumption is not necessarily correct. "all" people dont think Muslims are terrorists. I have many muslim friends who are very good human beings. Innocent, helping and humble

Yes, but slowly I think. Terrorism has no nationality or religion or race. However, the media has the power to misrepresent events, and when all we hear about are Muslim terrorists, it breeds the myth that Muslim = terrorist. However, some people view the actions of the israeli Gov, or even the British and American Gov. as terrorists actions. So, I dont think that intelligent, well informed members of the public believe that Muslims are terrorists, just that we are living in religious conflicts.
