At what point is a person a "religious extremist"?  If he prays to thank God at meals? How about the football star who kneels in prayer before a game?  Is it when you attend church every week instead of just Christmas and Easter?  Or is just belief in a deity enough?  What is extreme when it comes to religion?  Where is the line drawn?  Who is the authority that defines a "religious extremist"?\n\nCould it be that people who do things that are acting on their beliefs are just being compared to those who claim no belief, or claim a belief but do nothing and so prove they really have no belief at all?\n\nOne day, when I was in high school in the 70s, a girl was reading her Bible in study hall.  She wasn't bothering anyone; just quietly reading her Bible.  The instructor had left the room.  Several students began harrassing her because of the Bible.  I found myself defending her right to read her sacred book in peace, because this is America after all!  In that situation.... who was really the "extremist"????  The person quietly practicing her faith, or the people who thought they had a right to abuse her because they had none?\n\nSue

He probably considers himself a descendant of Ali since he is the head of a theocratic Islamic state.  As such, what he says goes.  I believe it's a major difference between Shi'i and Sunni Islam, with the Sunni being less apt to allow their political leaders to determine their mode of expressing their faith.  Islam is a religion of orthopraxy and not orthodoxy.  In such religions, one places more weight on what they do everyday than they do in other religions.  Leaders are expected to perscribe what rules of behavior are to be followed by the people of their countries.

Jews are hated by some not for their religion but mainly becasue of the politics going around in middle east and occupation, violance, bulldozing of houses, terrorism etc. etc. Actually prophet of Islam, had a very good relationship with jews who were not fighting with him to get rid of him. He used to visit Jews when invited or when they are sick etc.

Then you're very naive. You're clearly stupid and a fan of dictatorships. No one values the opinion of such a cretin. You cannot prove that someone is a muslim, and you can be one whilst pretending not to. This isn't Nazi Germany, stop being such a racist imbecile.

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????

never really, they don't really have to grow a beard, how it basically goes is like this- According to Jewish law, Jews aren't allowed to shave with a razor (a single blade), but scissor action(like in most electric shavers)is allowed. Before electric shavers were invented, Jewish men let their beards grow, and now some traditional Hasidim still follow that. Also their are 2 time periods a year when they aren't allowed to shave(except for business reasons), one of about 5 weeks,and one of 3 weeks.

A branch of Islamic is Muslim, and it's the Muslims that are doing all the stuff in the Middle East. The suiside bombings and stuff like that. I'm not sure if this guy is a Muslim, but the president of Iran wants Isreal blown off of the map. Let's just say that we better not give this guy any uranium!

Muslims: too many extremists without boundaries, too few mainstream moderates to condemn the extremists.  Killing in the name of religion?  you are a bonehead moonlight, what you are talking about is demanding that no one criticize or poke fun at one of your icons unless they want to be killed.  That is outrageous!

Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Hadith # 780: The Prophet said, "Do the opposite of what the pagans do. Keep the beards and cut the moustaches short."

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.

A suicide bomber's faith can be found just as true as any other man's faith. It's quite ignorant for you to make such an assertion.\n\nI never claimed that it would justify his cause, I am simply stating that you can not prove that his faith is false. It is just as true as anyone else's. Maybe you should try reading sometimes. It really helps.

yes, he is from India, but he raised muslim and label himself as Muslim.  and maybe now he is like me Ex-Muslim.  of course his story is just like the danish cartoons,  his assistanst in publishing satanic verse, the controversial book, had been killed most of them or all are not Muslims because of Fatwa of Ayatollah Khomaynee Iranian leaders and also other Islamic clergies.

If there is a Muslim Gay that means he was far away from the teachings of Islam and that is why he took elicit practices and became gay.\n\nIf a gay wants to go To haj and enter Mosque (Masjid) who can stop him unless somebody knows that he is a Gay. In the site of Allah every sinner is welcome to repent so even if sombody has comitted gravest of sins he is welcome in the house of God to repent and lead a much chaste life than before.

From the little of reading of the q'uran that I have done I sometimes wonder if a lot of so called Muslims are illiterate or just follow their hostile leaders who tell them what to believe. Because I find that q'uran allows only self defense and only to the point of saving themselves or crops and any violence beyond that, ALLAH  ( I Hope that out of due respect that I have spelled Their Gods name correctly) will deal with harshly any Muslim that uses any force beyond that of which to stop the invasion of themselves or crops, their is nothing mentioned about suicide bombs or mass executions. Their God and our God are the same the big difference occurs remember in the bible when God promise Abraham and Sara a child and Sara was getting quite old so she suggested that he have sex with the slave girl.It is within that family that the Islam religion is born. And the Christian , Jewish religions descend from Abraham and Sara which is what God had promised many years earlier but God was not happy about Abraham and Sara losing faith in his promise to them and Sara was quite old by the time her son was born . And the term Holy war is a media buzzword to stir up trouble because basically holy war was meant to be a time when you are trying to get rid of sin in your life and you battle within yourself against the sin so that you can break away from it.
