No.Osama Bin Laden  is not a true follower.He has taken a religion that is peaceful and tryed to manupulate it into HIS extreme beliefs and ideas.Trust me he is anything BUT a follower.

I agree with the rest. Jihad is a very broad subject and while it is easier to mold on younger minds, it is also easier to influence them to the misguided path. Therefore, patience, tolerance, discipline and such are taught rather than Jihad by itself. \n\nBesides, moral issues are applicable to all regardless of culture and creed.

Yes, it does.\nThe latest interventions of US Military machine in Afghanistan and Iraq have provided radicals the extra source to rely on and use as propafanda against US and West at all. The threat coming towards Islamic culture, moral and religious standards is multiplied in imagination of radicals by military interventions - they explain to illiterate people as "Here comes America which has no human values, it defeats our values and massacres all of us in Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, Afghanistan and Iraq because we are Muslims". This kind of ideological brainwashing should be stopped. That is why American administration should watch out before implementing certain policies.

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.

None. It’s not his decision or his right, or that on anyone else's with a God complex.  He's a wealthy Saudi man who didn't fit in.  No one appointed him the representative of anyone.  The only way I could see him able to avenge anyone is the people who chose to follow him.  Most of these people I consider zealots and bigots who should be stopped (sort of like the Klu Klux Klan or the Spanish Inquisition), so I don’t see avenging their captures or deaths as a legitimate act.  I do see that some Arabs and Muslims have real reasons to be upset, but I don’t see how Bin Laden is their “avenger.”  I think that people who don't directly target civilians or support regimes like the Taliban who so grievously harm their civilians would be the best people to represent those civilians.  I also think it should be people from that group: rich Saudi men with tremendous advantages who still couldn't make a positive difference on his co-citizens' lives in his own country need not apply.

As long as people from the middle east continue to put their children in these draconian madrassas that indoctrinate youth to the ways of terror, there will never be a solution beyond every Christian dying or every Muslim dying. These barbaric schools bastardize the Quran into their sick, twisted interpretations of the holy word and pound it into the heads of children as young as three years old. Three, four and five year old are shown videotapes of "freedom fighters" dragging American bodies through the street de-sensitizing of any humanity that remains. They learn nothing but vile hatred and are taught that the surest way to Allah is to kill Americans and their allies.\n\nNow, don't get me wrong. The vast majority of Muslims are peace loving and want only what most people want - a fair shot at a decent life. But, much like here in America, the radicalized factions of society grab the most attention and seem like they are the majority. I currently live in metro Detroit, and we have the largest Muslim population in the US. What goes on with radical Islam sickens most of them, and they are good, hard-working, decent people.\n\nUntil an answer is found to deal with the madrassas, however, nothing can be done. It will take generations and generations.

The term "extremism" is very misleading. Being extreme is not a 'good' or 'bad' thing. Folks that are quiet and / or ONLY tell the truth in American society would be called 'extreme'. -What are you, -a nun??, a priest??\n\nBut anyway, these folks are Jihad-ists, and it's either partially or fully based on their Muslim holy book doctrines. The really problem is not the Jihadists, but what are the so called 'moderates' doing about it??? - NOTHING !! The moderates claim islam is a religion of 'peace', but they do not consistently public denounce the actions of the Jihadist and they give lip-service to the western countries.\n\nThe so-called moderates are the solution, when they get a back-bone and stand up against their fellow terrorists.

Osama IS NOT the leader of Islam he is a radical terrorist who uses and manipulates the teaching of the Quran to promote his own political agenda. Islam preaches peace and submission. I was raised Cristian and and Converted. I was very ignorant before I picked up a Quran myself and read it. Please do not fall into the trap of believing only what you hear and see from the Media. I have many reason to back everything up and if you want a personal discussion about this I would love to IM.

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!

Nonsense, Osama bin Laden's intelligence and elloquence has been beefed up by many in the media. Other less biased sources such as the veteran BBC correspondant John Simpson have described him as childish by nature and slightly unstable mentally. There is also no reason to suspect that he is acting on behalf of the US government, his practice is consistant with the general Islamic resurgance in the Arab world.

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.

The reason somebody like Osama Bin Laden hasn't been caught is because he has plenty of supporters and followers in the Mid-East is because they think he is terrific along with their fanatical cause. It has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative.

No Islam isn't a religion that preaches AND teaches terrorism, it teaches and preaches peace and respect towards others. No religion would say to it's followers if you are being killed in your homes bow your heads and hand a weapon to the killer...\n\nIn the time of the Prophet Mohammad (Peace be Upon Him) prisoners of war were NOT to be killed... they were to be realesed under one condition... guess what that was? teach 10 muslims to read then they were set free...\n\nI could go on and on from my standpoint on this... what i suggest is you read SCHOLARLY articles or websites that are well known as religious sources about Islam from BOTH perspectives... \n\nA good site to learn about islam is www.Islamicity.com\n\nMuslims are NOT supposed to kill ANYONE at all... the only case that it is allowed is in the time of war to defend one's self... and even in that case there are restrictions... do not harm a tree, a home, a child, an elderly person if they do not harm you... fight only those that fight you directly...\n\nA lot of those that strap themselves with bombs to kill are seen as wrong in the view of many many muslims... especially when those killed are civilians...
