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.

They approve of the slaughter. They say on one hand its bad and not how true muslims act but on another they are preaching it in the mosques. I know because i have visited several.\nmuslims in america are pretty much laying low right now. In America they won't denounce or promote much of anything publicly that their brothers do overseas. They know the U.S goverment will come down hard on em if they did. However if you go to almost any mosque in america they  will preach  anti-infidal crap all the time including down with america.  \nIf ya visit some islamic websites or read some of there publications you will see that there main goal is to conquer America with islam.  \nLogically why would any muslim in america publically denounce anything? They got an agenda here...why wreck it?

5:51 & 9:29 "against"\n5:82 & 2:62  "respect"\n\nWhat makes muslims decide how to treat those of other faiths depends on whether they have read the entire Qur'an in context, and understand it's meaning, or whether they follow the lead of haters without understanding. This can happen in any faith.

We defend our needs and ideals against those who would take them away.\nIf muslims want to take the lives of my countrymen or my nations allies then we must destroy them before they destroy us.\n\nFreedom isnt free.

for the most part it's muslim against muslim.  they can all die.  if that religion is true then those people will be in their version of paradise.  isn't that where we want to go?

You summed it up. In their minds, they are doing the will of Allah so they can justify anything. Why is there no Million Muslim March in Washington to back peace and denounce the radicals? It's because they all agree with "the struggle against the infidel" at some level.

I am not sure but fight for our god? Depends on what it is.....like if someone asks a bad question about Islam then answer by correcting it. BE PROUD. but just dont go getting into fights just to stick up for your religion because you no why? because they fight wont help solve anything.....if you believe then nothing can destroy that. Fighting doesnt solve anything..

beside being a big liar ,you are also stupid,and because you are stupid you think that the rest of us will believe you without thinking,and that we are waiting for a dumb like you to give us free lessons on Islam.I've studied Islam,and I've also studied Arabic ,and I read Quran many times in both English and Arabic ,the Sura that you've mentioned doesn't say any thing about this fake story that you want us to believe.stop insulting our intelligence.

Hey dude, I do protest these things. Search for Question post in here by a girl who said that she proud to be a Muslim. And I'm proud to be a Muslim.\n\nCompare to Muslims all over the world, how many 'the so-called 'Muslim Terrorists' are there? 100%? 10%? 1%? I even doubt it's 0.1%. \nBecause this minority we have to take the blame. Do you really think we enjoy for what they have done to us? To our religion? To our Prophet? To Our God? Think!\n\nThey bombed something, they died and buried. They shoot someone, they ran and hide. Guess who's left to take the blame? Us. And better yet, you of all people blame us. Again.\nThese things repeated all over again.\n\nFirst of all, IF THEY DO UNDERSTAND ISLAM, THEY WON'T USE VIOLENCE.\n\nSecondly, IF THEY REALLY FIGHTING FOR JIHAD, WHY WOULD THEY WEAR SOME CHEAP SKI-MASKS? Why they don't show their faces?\nI mean, they think fight for justice, then show their faces to us so that we can know they are truly or not fight for Jihad.\n\nThirdly, SUICIDE IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM. Jihad in Islam means to sacrifice your money and time for greater good. \nIt's also mean TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO PROTECT OTHERS. \nNOT TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO HURT OTHERS. \nAnd these maniacs go againsts it. They are disobey the Command of the Allah. Totally go against it.\nAnd you, again blaming the peace loving religion Islam and the good Muslims for that. \n\nWell I guess these things going to repeat until there is no good human souls left to really realize the truth.\n\nAnyway, may God and Jesus bless you so that you can understand the Real Islam. Insya-Allah.

What? verse "8:68"? Come on. Prove it. Add your proofs to your question. Use it by clicking on "add details" button. Use proofs fron the Koran. I don't believe FAKE QUOTES.

Excellent question.\n\nI am not a Muslim, but I have to commend you on your logic.  Makes perfect sense.\n\nWhat I said actually means that few people are able to discern such logic.  You're going to be ridiculed.  Get used to it.  Those same people will believe the Muslims did the 9/11 thing when it is obvious they did not.  I'm confident you are aware of this.  Write me if I am wrong, noting of course that I realize you are not buying into the Muslim faith.\n\nI would recommend however, for some intense research, that you look into the Koran in greater depth.  Seek out a western interpretation by someone who has done in-depth research and you will be impressed.  It's not completely whacky.  The truth is though, all religion feeds off the other.  Very scary to be honest with you.  Makes a soul wonder what the hell is the truth?

Muslims are taught by their religion, Islam, to kill the infidel.  This is a hard fact that so many people don't want to believe.  In case you didn't know, anyone who is not Muslim is an infidel.  In the same way that Christians are taught to love their neighbors, Muslims are taught to hate and kill.  You figure it out from there.  I just read what the Muslim wrote while I was writing this.  In the same way he carefully quoted his book to make his point, I can do the same with our Bible.  When you take things out of context, they can be made to say anything.  I stand by what I wrote above.
