Can there be ANY 'EXTREMISTS' in an EXTREME RELIGION, like ISLAM FOR EXAMPLE?

How about the Bible? Read Numbers 31 where a whole tribe of people, including the elderly and children are slaughtered. The only survivors were the virginal women, who were later raped by the “just and perfect” Moses and his men. Is that what you want your children reading on Sunday?\n\nI'd call that pretty extreme...\n-SD-

hi, i dont know the FRUIT of US but i think that the Jewish terorism against Arab and Palestinian is more older than the Al Qaeda , anyway Al Qaeda was stablished by the American Goverement to help the Afghan and Muslims in the mid 80's to get out the Suvet occupation of Agfanestan and then with the money El Qaeda took from the American Gorvement they attacked it again. Anyway i hate either extremism in whatever religion, Jewish, Christain or Muslim, i think to be a moderate religious is the best to let all the people of the world leave in peace. An opinion from an Muslim guy . Thank you for your question and i hope u can find the truth and the real answers about it soon. TC

No, but I would guess that a lot of people who do are not secure in their own faith, and therefore must tear others down.

I believe that the holy quaran has some good priciples, but some things I can not believe.  I believe that ANY human 'claiming'whether islamic or christian can be a terrorist. There is a bunch of bad apples everywhere you look, just as there are good apples. I have nothing against Muslim, their religion, or the Quran.  I do have a problem with terrorist, whether they claim to be religous or not.

Intolerant and violent religion.

Islam is absolutely NOT a bad religion. Extremists are the problem. Extremists have been intrepreting the Koran incorrectly for years. The Koran says to respect women and treat them as equals. The Koran does not advocate killing ANYONE. But the Koran does say the end (the apocalypse) will come in the midst of a holy war. (Remember who started that. Extremists and the president.)

No.  First off, it is no Islam that is the threat but the radicals.  Christian religion has the same issues.

This question is actually laughable. Have you not read other questions and answers? Seems to me there is always someone willing to attack a religion or a group. Don't feel like Christians are the only ones. Personally I think Islam gets attacked the worst in Answers but that's my opion.

I dont think any religion widely accepted by rational people is or can be.  By definition terrorism is to instill terror in ones enemies.  Most religions I know of want us to accept our neighbors not terrorize them

No it will only embolden terrorists. 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(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....)

I think the entire muslim faith must be distinguished from Islamic Fundamentalism, which is as it's name implies is much more fundamentalist in nature. \n\nUnfortunately, I think there are a large number of Islamic fundamentalists who condone the actions of terrorists.\n\nMercifully Islamic Fundamentalism is the credo of only a small percentage of those of the Muslim faith.

An extremist is anyone who disagrees with your views and is willing to smack you around to prove it.

THE ISLAMIC EXTREMEST, AND IT IS DONE UNDER THE ISLAMIC JIHAD BUT ISLAM BELIEFS DO NOT INCLUDE VIOLENCE. THESE ARE ALL EXTREMEST THAT TAKE THERE RELIGION AND TWIST IT TO MEET THERE DESIRES.

Only for the most radical and extreme elements of the Islam nations. Most rational people in that part of the world know that only bad things happen when WMD's are "in play". Being the cynic that I am, I could foresee all kinds of social and political unrest between the extremists and contemporary citizens, that is IF they stand up to the extemists....we'll see, if not, Holy Sh*t (no pun intended).

I'm reluctant to say all Muslims are guilty. I wonder though about where their heart is. We hear talk about how moderate Muslims reject extremism, violence in the name of religion, etc. But I've never seen much from moderate Muslims when it comes to stopping extremism. How many times have you seen Muslims drag one of their own out of a mosque, by the hair of their head, for preaching hate? I have never seen it. How many times have you heard of moderate Muslims expressing outright hatred for those who would kill innocents? I have not heard it. I suspect, with absolutely no proof, that many moderate Muslims wish for their more radical brothers in Islam to win the war on terror.

I will give you examples and you will find the definition yourself.\nI am a Muslim and on this world there are some Muslims who are extremist; lets take the example of bin laden.\n\nThere is in the Koran the following :\nchapter 60 verse 8 and 9 :\n8 : "Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity."\n9 : "It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allah forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the wrong-doers."\n\nSo bin laden just forget about those verses and understand the Koran his way to reach his own objectives.\n\nAnother example of religious extremist is what happen what the Spanish kicked out the Muslims from Andalusia (Spain) after they lived there during 800 years; they killed all of them or forced them to convert to Christianity. they did the same to Jew as well.\n\nThere are many examples from different religions.

There is no justification for this. In Islam, we believe if you commit suicide, the only place to go is Hell. In the Qur'aan and Hadith(what the Prophet(p.b.u.h.) said) the manner in which a Muslim is supposed to fight a war is by fighting the army of the enemy, not its civilians. Extremists believe in suicide to make their point known and extremism has no place in Islam. We believe in fighting those people who fight with us, in the literal sense, meaning the soldier with the AK-47, not the woman with the child in her arms.
