Extremists are the loudest voice in Islam today drowning out moderates.  Moderates are doing a lousy job of standing up for their beliefs and condemning the actions of the extremists, so people tend to think that the extremists are actually the mainstream.  I place the blame squarely at the feet of the moderates.

People don't think Islam is bad.  They think that militant radical Islam is bad.  Same for militant radical anything...

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

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.

MUSLIMS r not terrorists. Say that terrorists r muslims. This is beacuse of the muslims don't want to give the freedom to live n choosing, to their childrens. Their religion is going on, not because new generation is willing to accept beocz of the fear if they don't accept the muslim religion. They insist thier childrens to adopt the relegion blindly.

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.

"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

Terrorism is killing or threatening to cause physical harm to a civilised society in the name of some cause. Terrorism breeds out of perceived injustice whose advantage is taken by unscrupulous elements. There are different types of terrorism- religion-based, territory-based or state-sponsored.\nIrrespective of the type of terrorism the propagators try to justify it in the name of certain cause or ideology.\n\nReligious Terrorism: Example Al-Qaida who led Muslims to believe that they have been historically mistreated and must fight to avenge that.. Truth is that such people follow no religion because no religion propagates violence.\nTerritory-based Terrorism: Example LTTE in Sri Lanka, ULFA in Assam. They believe that their territory has been 'occupied' to external forces and they must fight to overthrow their oppressors. Truth is, in most cases, these people are greedy to control and exert their power with vested interests and little interest in public welfare.\nState Sponsored: BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS. Example Hitler in Germany, George Bush in USA, Narendra Modi in Gujarat, Musharaf in Pakistan, who use government machinery and armed forces to spread terror. The reason it is so dangerous is because people like Hitler and George Bush have access to tremendous resources, arms and ammunition to attack soft targets to further their propoganda.\n\nRemedies:-\nEvery country must actively co-operate and ensure to root out terrorism from their soil. \nResolving issues through negotiations and via multi-lateral forums like UN.\nAllaying fears in the minds of people, by avoiding 'us against them' and 'clash of civilization'  kind of rhetorics.\nEducating people and providing employment opportunities to disillusioned youth to ensure that they utilize their energy positively.

It depends Islam has different branches too.\nAnd they are all different. Just like Christianity. Look At Ireland.\nBut main cause of terrorism is social when they do not have jobs and lost their families at war people are very sensitive and hurt they tend to turn in to the religion and there comes the mullah who use the religion for the power and money and brain wash these people.\nSo not all muslims are terrosits. \nBut I came from middle east and i think those wars will never end till the end of the time.\nI am a Muslim but the good gave people some common sense to use as well.\nIf god is going to send me to the heaven with those hijackers. I would prefer to go to the hell.

Of course... But, in this case, there is a plenty of people that being so radical. But, honestly, Islam don't support any kind of terrorism.

simply ... by watching the world. i knew muslims, i have muslims friends and they are not terrorists. like me, millions. but 90% of all bomb attacks killing hundreds are muslims, this can be seens in all news. and like me, millions are wathing the news. so "all the muslims are not terrorist but all (the majority of) the terrorist are muslims" came in existance simply by observing the sorrounding world .... maybe drinking a beer in pub with friends ... and then the "great minds" of the world said this in tv shows and big reviews and voila ... what incredibly remark they made .. bla bla ... they had stolen the people's words

Islam preaches morals. Which is good. Islam also scares their own lot (and others) with the fire of hell, which is bad. But so do many other religions. \n\nI feel that people should not be good out of the fear of hell fire, but out of love.\n\nI think good about the muslims and dont see any problems with the major population. \n\nMaybe i do not like the few who use people for power and to spread fear.

Peeps associate Islam with terrorism..it's a common stereotype. Since all the terrorism that has happened in the last 3 decades has had a link to Islamic extremists. but not all terrorists are Islamic, nor are all of them Arab...look at peeps in our own country, the murderers, rapists, and Mr. Mc Veigh..he wasn't Muslim, or of Arab descent, he was just plain nuts. Islam is a religion built around peace and family...not terrorism and murder. To answer your question about other religious extremists...yes, they do exist, and are very dangerous, but Western media sees fit to point the finger of blame at Muslims.

terrorism isnt a thought, its an act. and a networked group of people who infiltrate governments and societies for the purpose of destroying other countries who they claim are against Allah.

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.

Very good question...people don't realize Islam is the religion of many of the terrorists over there. Islam is supposed to be a peaceful religion, but right now they say they are in a Jihad (holy war), in which case I guess it's basically every man for himself. I know, lots of the terrorists don't claim a religion, but just as many cite Jihad as an excuse. FYI: there won't be any world peace until the end times.

Because some brands of Islam seeks to impose its views on the world by force. As to comparing religions, not really sure where you get that from; I have not heard many people doing such a thing.
