Are Muslim Terrorists?

To get a RIGHT answer, you must form a RIGHT question. If you want answers to your questions the first thing you have to learn is "HOW TO FORM A QUESTION"\n\nThis is NOT a RIGHT question. \n\nStill, the answer can be either "YES" or "NO". Both are not RIGHT answers.\n\nSo, no answer.\n\nThe perspective through which the question is asked itself gives a direction to the answer. If people thinks like this then its not a "real thinking" for "real solution".\n\nNo religion (usually the main five religion as ISLAM, CHRISTIANITY, HINDUISM, JUDAISM & BUDDISM) teaches terrorism. Terrorism is NOT connection with religion. It is connected with human behaiviour and the perspective how people thinks. A WAR can form PEACE and a PEACE can be a new platform to start a new WAR. \n\nMuslims, Christians, Hindus, Jews or Buddisht - no one is terrorist. Only terrorist are terorist and they use religion to give their terrorism a name or a cause.

Terrorism is not spacific to religion.  All people are capable of terrorism.

I'm not sure that's true. Timothy McVeigh wasn't a terrorist, nor were Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (the Columbine shooters), and none of the white supremacists (KKK, Nazis, etc.) are. Also, the ETA (Basque independence) weren't, nor the IRA (Irish Republican Army), nor are any of the groups in South America, like Shining Path in Peru, or FARC and the rest in Columbia. Oh, and also those Aum guys in Japan, that set off that Sarin nerve gas attack afew years ago. I could keep going, but I think you get the point.\n\nMuslim terrorists are obviously more in the news, but that doesn't mean most terrorists are muslim, it simply means that most terrorists you hear about are muslim.

Terrorism is committed by many people of various religions and ideologies.  For the most part, the terrorists are motivated by greed, revenge or seeking power, and they are using religion as an excuse for their acts.  \n\nIslam itself does not teach or endorse terrorism.  Indeed, Islam forbids murdering women, children and unarmed men even in time of war.  It forbids the destruction of buildings.  It specifically forbids murdering fellow Muslims, yet the terrorists do this regularly.  The Qur'an says that terrorists will never see Paradise (or Heaven).  \n\nThe extremists in any religion who teach violence are taking bits and pieces of verses from their holy book, and twisting and perverting them in an attempt to justify the hatred they espouse.  \n\nOf all the major terrorist organizations in the world today, the majority of them are ones who claim to be Muslim.  President Bush has been very careful to distinguish that we are not at war with Islam, we are at war with terrorists who pervert the teachings of Islam.

Because while most Muslims are not terrorists, they keep silent about all the terror that goes on in the name of Islam (suicide bombings, honor killings, rape/torture, dictatorial governments).\n\nFor example, most Muslims would probably agree that Iran's President (the one who said Israel should be wiped off the map) is a wacko. And yet, he remains President of a country close to obtaining a nuclear bomb. Where's the Muslim outrage?

Muslims are terrorists if all Germans are nazis, Americans are gangsters, Columbians are drug dealers, Italians are mafia members and ....\nI think thats because the only news from muslims which  news companies spread is about terrorism.\nPropaganda has great powers and it can make you believe that muslims are terrorist.\nAfter cold war when the danger of communism vanished western governments need an enemy and there wasn't anyone better than muslims.\nMaybe it is true that some famous terrorist are muslim but it is also true that muslim countries have suffered from many unwanted problems e.g. afghanestan which was american front during cold war for controlling the communism movement in middle east which is one of the most important oil producers in world and believe me, there is nothing remained there except ruined cities and mountain and minefield and vast fields of poppy which is used to make opium and heroin in great amounts. this is a proper place for terrorism to grow. so I think muslims are wrongfuly accused.

Muslims are offended when they perform terrorist acts and then are branded as terrorists, as you note.  The reason they are offended is that they underrate the average person's intelligence.\n\nThey will not disapprove of terrorism, because they regard it as their most effective e&#92;weapon in Islamizing the entire world.

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

"Islamic terrorism is inspired by Islamic teachings. We can never get rid of Islamic terrorism unless we defeat the ideology behind it and that is Islam itself. Islam induces hate backed by lies. Muhammad was a terrorist by his own admission. All Muslims, to the extent that they follow him, are terrorists. Those Muslims who are not terrorists are ignorant of Islam. Fortunately they are the majority. We need to rescue them. If you are a good human being, you are not a Muslim. Read this site http://www.faithfreedom.org and if you can't prove me wrong, leave this deceitful cult of hate and terror and join mankind. Don't be part of the Umma. Umma is fascism. It is divisive. It induces the hatred of others. Be part of humanity instead. Your ignorance is not an excuse. Pull your head out of the sand and face the truth, like we did. \n\nFaith Freedom International is a grassroots worldwide movement of ex-Muslims and all those who are concerned about the rise of the Islamic threat. We want to bring humanity together, not by introducing yet another doctrine, which always ends up dividing mankind more, but by eliminating the doctrines that divide us. We want to abolish this evil 'Muslim vs. Kafir" dichotomy. Mankind is one family. Don't let narcissist men like Hitler and Muhammad sunder us with their big lies. Don't become the victim of the "divide and rule" policy of a psychopath. \n\nFaith Freedom stands for freedom of faith. We are against Hate, not Faith. We revere human rights not human beliefs. We endeavor to be factually correct, not politically correct. \n\nDo your part! Let this message out. Let us eradicate Islam and bring mankind together - the way God intended. Islam is the cancer of humanity. We can get rid of it. There is nothing we humans can't do. Mountains move aside to make way for those who are determined." - Ali Sina

No.  Many different people are behind many different terroristic operations.  In Northern Ireland, you had the IRA doing a lot of killing and bombing for years before the Islamic attacks.  All religion have fanatics.  It is normal and human nature.

Muslims are fine. I think, like any religion. It is the extremist that have interpreted the religion incorrectly that concern me. Which most Muslims will tell you they are concerned about people who are like that also.

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.

Most Muslims are not terrorists, and most terrorists aren't Muslims. Americans react more to Islamic terrorism because it comes from an outside source, whereas domestic terrorism from militia groups or urban gangs doesn't trigger a sense of national unity or a 'fight response.'

"It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims." Abdelrahman al-Rashid, columnist for al-Sharq al-Awsat, Saudi Arabia.\n\nI don't think we in the west consider all of the Islamic Ummah to be a threat. For instance, the Muslims of Bosnia tend to be even somewhat fond of us, since it was western countries that liberated the Kosovars and others, and kept the peace. And the west has had good relations with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan.\n\nBut there certainly is a strong militant movement within Islam, and I think we are correct to see in this a threat. Even if there are only a few hundred thousand muslims in the world who think that flying planes into buildings is a noble act, or that the guys who blew up subways with backpacks were heroes, that's still a few hundred thousand people who are willing to use violence to harm us.\n\nWe would be foolish to ignore that threat, sadly.

Pretty hard to seperate being muslim from terrorism. It is a common denominator.
