Why is there no unified outcry by Muslims regarding the heinous murder done in the name of their religion?

They are either scared they will be punished by same people!... or the so-called moderate Muslims do actually endorse the murder done in the name of their religion.\n\nIslam actually translates as submission, it is an uncompromising & harsh form of population control, closet thing to Star Treks "The Borg"... "YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED" is their mission statement...Um! well, actually no thank you! and no thank you to the Christians who are competing to be runner-up borg alikes.

It depends on the Muslim. Like Christianity, there are lots of different interpretations of the faith, and lots of people trying to force the faith to fit around what they *want* to believe (To quote Mr Hicks, "I believe what God *meant* to say was...").\n\nApparently some christians are trying to 'reinterpret' one of the ten commandments from "Thou shalt not kill" to "Thou shalt not murder", and then interpret murder in such a way that if the state kills, it's not murder. All so they can justify the death penalty.\n\nYou've got to admire the effort they've gone to. Most people just turn a blind eye.\n\n\nAaaanyway, soon the Flying Spaghetti Monster will return, and sort all those heretics out.\n\nRamen.

Because they gutlessly caved in to the inane ravings of the violent lunatics known as Muslims.\n\nThe Muslim world routinely publishes the vilest most nauseating lies about every other religion but they have the unmitigated gall to scream death threats when anyone says anything, no matter that it is true, about their so called prophet.\n\nMuhammad personally led armies to slaughter and enslave his neighbors in his own lifetime. Not just his followers but the so called  prophet himself was a man of violence and aggressive evil.

oianz saying "i  have yet to meet a militant Muslim".   keeping your head in the sand (no pun intended) doesnt make it go away.  there are groups of muslims who want every non muslim dead.  they ingrain it in their heads from day one.  the evidence is there I just dont understand why you refuse to believe it.  Do any research of the history of the middle east.  Call me racist do whatever but when somebody says they are going to kill you you should take it seriously and take care of the problem before they get their wish.

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.

The killing of a leader here or there of Muslim terrorist won't solve the problem because the problem is in the nature of the Muslim religion itself.\n\nIslam is a profoundly fascist religion, founded in violence, spread almost exclusively by violence, and that denies, as a core principle, the possibility of a state which is not entirely controlled by Muslims.\n\nAs such it it incompatible with modern notions of liberal. tolerant, secular democracy which prevail in the civilized world.\n\nEither Islam must change or Islam must be destroyed. It is evil incarnate in its present form. The notion that there is a "moderate" Muslim majority is a fantasy. There is no such moderate majority and the handful of genuinely moderate Muslims on this planet wouldn't fill a decent sized football stadium.

I know this doesn't exactly answer your question, but I really must address the reply above me, because it's ridiculous: Doctorkersey, your entire post was ethnocentric and judgemental to the core. You cannot make sweeping generalizations about an entire organization like that, it is foolish and absurd. Just because a few morons blow up some buildings and call themselves Islam does NOT mean they actually are. And Islam itself does NOT promote violence; any Muslim cleric worth half a damn will tell you as such. They're scholars, which means they know more about their own damn religion than any terrorist ever will. Take your hatred and bigotry somewhere else.\n\nWhich brings me to your question, dear poster: I actually have seen a few interviews with Muslim clerics on a few news-ish programs (don't remember where, though), and they were NOT happy. This was quite soon after 9/11, so I'm guessing some of them were getting a lot of flak for simply being Muslim. They said that what the terrorists had done that day was shameful and was not in any way a reflection of Islam. I was a freshman in high school when it happened, and the next week we had a guest speaker come in and tell us about Islam; he repeated these claims as well.\n\nSo, in short, I think the best answer is probably the first commenter's; it's not that Muslim clerics aren't speaking, it's just that a lot of people aren't listening.

You're very correct, my friend.  Libs have no sense of what is right or wrong it seems.  Take for instance that they're against the death penalty yet murder babies and use a polite euphemism, namely, abortion.  The list is endless.  They have no idea what Islam practices but rather buy into the false notion that Islam equates to peace.  All over the world, Islam is at work to change the "infidels" or barring that, to kill them.  Libs would indeed be TOO's (targets of opportunity) for angry Islamics!

I don't have an answer to that question, except maybe bad press. I just wanted to say that I agree with you. Muslims seem to be way more violent than blacks. The funny thing is that they have the nerve to use RELIGION as a reason for the violence.

You are so right.  I need to see more Muslims (or any Muslims for that matter) stand up and make a noise against the atrocities you mention.  I am sick and tired of the childish attitude that I have seen where if you mention one of the crimes Muslims have committed they just point the finger back and say, "Well, look what you did!"  I'm sick of this.  I would like for them to say, "yes, we have a serious problem and I'm sick of it too!  We must stop the violence in our ranks."  But they do not stand up and say this.  It annoys me.

Yes, it's still murder. Everyone thinks God is on their side. Strangely, Muslims, Christians, and Jews believe in the SAME GOD and it's Muslims, Christians, and Jews who are going to blow everyone off the face of the Earth-WITH THE SAME GOD! I'm so confused!!!

The "Muslims" you speak of, are a vast MINORITY of their religion.  The fact of the matter is, is that 80% (maybe even more) of Islamic believers are peace loving.  \n\nKeep in mind as well, that Christians have also killed people because 'God told them to'.  Have you ever heard of the Crusades?

Hey man I can't understand why could a person who claims that he is a muslim to hope the hell for others who are sharing the same relegion with him!!!!\nWell I'd to confirm that the true muslim will never call for destroying others...\nIslam is a relegion of peace which ask its follower to respect all people whatever their relegions,languages, gender...etc\nOn the other hand, if u r really a muslim, u must heard about the hadees of Prophet Muhammed(PBUH) which says that Allah (God) prefer to damage the Ka'ba(the holy mosque in Mecca)in stead of killing a muslim... \nSo I can't understand how u could hope murder for all arabs while they are muslim like u????

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.

I agree that there is a problem. Their agenda is to make everyone in the whole world follow Islam by choice, by force or they must face death.\nPeople would rather stick their heads in the sand and deny the problem than admit that there is a problem, however, to destroy another person or another religion means that you are no better than they.\nThere are Muslim men in North America who are trying to get a law passed so that they will have the right to kill their wife or their children if they do something that displeases them.

By "same God" in your question, I assume you mean, "Why do Christians kill other Christians?" and, "Why do Muslims kill other Muslims?". In case you think that Muslims do not kill other Muslims, remember the Kurds in Iraq?  I'm limiting your question because the Christian, the Muslim, the Buddhist, and the Hindu, do NOT have the SAME god as defined by the attributes of god in these religions.  \n\nI would like to submit two universal answers and I do not have the time to elaborate: power and greed.  In localized situations, it may be fanaticism or revenge.  In the final analysis, it probably has nothing to do with different beliefs.
