Appeal to all Muslims. We should not kill our brothers, is it not true America divided us to rule?

Actually it was the British who devided Persia so they could rule it.Then they lost their Empire and since nature does not allow for vaacumes, the Americans roled in. Why are Am ericans always at war? What's wrong with them ? They should fix up their won impoverished and neglected country.\nHave youi seen their cities ? AGH ! Disguting.

We are not only in a battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.  We are in a battle for the heart and soul of our country as we speak.  Fewer and fewer people are alive today who have experienced the real fear of the possibility that we can as a nation cease to exist.  \nThat was a very real fear in WW II.\n\nThose who have never faced this fear do not truly understand what types of sacrifices must be made by those who are free to keep this freedom.  We are facing the most dangerous threat to the future of the civilized world  that I believe the world has EVER seen.  The goal of radical Islam is TOTAL world domination and a worldwide Islamic society under Sharia law.  It will take the sacrifices and dedication of men like we saw on this video to turn back that tide.  It will also require that citizens of the USA stand united behind our military men and be willing to authorize and accept any and all necessary actions against this goal.\n\nWe must do ANYTHING that is necessary to halt the spread of RADICAL ISLAM.  I promise you the followers of RADICAL ISLAM have dedicated themselves to do whatever is necessary to take our liberty and freedom.

My brother was a US Marine killed by an Assyrian "Iraqi Insurgent".  I know that the man who killed my brother was killed about 20 seconds later.  I will never forgive the man who shot my brother.  I hold no ill-will against that persons family, religion,  nor his country.  If your brother was a soldier like mine was, then you know that he knew the risks going in.  You must accept that your brother made a decision as a man.

I (american) completely agree with you that our country has been completley out of line in trying to be the worlds "big brother". You should know that your mirror will only show what is shown to it.  My mirror would show acceptance and love for all people. I was deeply disturbed by one of your previous posts. Please dont think that americans actually have a voice in whether or not we go to war! How would you feel if I was one of the closeminded americans that thinks that just because you are middle eastern, you know the terrorists and can make them stop if you want. I can't even begin to understand what it feels like to live in a warring country, my condolensces to you and yours. But remember that not seeing all sides of the story is one of the problems that led us to where we are today.  You are obviously very upset, and for good reason. So I would like to personally appologize to you for the occupation, although I have absolutely no control over it. By opening our eyes and truly thinking about things before we believe them, we might eventually be able to achieve peace. I wish you, and your family, and Iraqi and American troops peace. Please rethink your hatred for all americans and know that there are many of us here that agree with YOU rather than our own government. By finding a way to see that no culture as a whole is inherantly evil and that every individual is different and needs to be respected, you too will be a part of the path to peace.  Peace to you my brother. Tasharrafna. Shukran.

Someone say something about Zarqawi???? Oh yeah, he's the guy that has the Shiites and Sunnis killing each other and starting a civil war. Not the US my friend. I don't kill people IVBEDS and IED's kill people and who is setting those of I wonder? The US?, me thinks NO, Muslim Extremists, me thinks YES!\n\nAlluah akbhar brudda!!

I think you have a point, but there is another alternative.\n\nThere are *different* interpretations of Islam.  Right now, the "let's kill anyone who we think is in our way" is winning in most circles, and (obviously), this attitude isn't going to lead to peace in the Middle East or anywhere else!\n\nIslam isn't going away.  It is probably more realistic to hope that the more moderate voices are heard (before they're killed off by the extremist elements).

I read a similar question earlier and saw a very good answer by\ncrao-craz. I am going to copy and paste his anwer.\n\nI'm an American. I think most Americans believe that Muslims are like people everywhere. Most of them are nice people, but a few are fanatics.\n\nMy personal belief is that, because of Islam's history of military conquest, kidnapping, and extreme punishment of criminals, Muslim fanatics are violent. If Islam is the "religion of peace," as we here in America are told by our President and others, then why haven't peaceful Muslims risen up against the terrorists who are defaming their religion? I don't understand that.\n\nWhen American soldiers abused prisoners at Abu Gahrib, they were tried and convicted of crimes. Some of them are in jail now and others are waiting for trial.\n\nI looks like American soldiers killed 24 civilians in Hadditha. This is heartbreaking for Americans! If the investigation shows that this is what happened, these soldiers will be tried and convicted. They will probably receive life sentences.\n\nWhen Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa to kill Salaman Rushdie for writing a novel, other Imams and Ayatollahs failed to denounce Khomeni. Why didn't the average Muslim oppose him? If they love peace, why didn't they fight Kohmeni's hatred?\n\nSince fatwas to kill people are acceptable to Muslims, the terrorists could be eliminated by several prominent Imams and Ayatollahs issuing fatwas (1) telling Muslims that sheltering or otherwise aiding terrorists was a sin and (2) telling Muslims to kill terrorists and those who shelter or aid them.\n\nIf Muslims love peace, why do they allow hatred and terrorists to live among them?

I do not think so.....God or Allah does NOT want us to kill one another, he wants us to find a way to live in peace along side each other........and for the life of me I cannot figure out why humans make that so hard. every day in the US we do it!!!!!!!!! I hate no one, and if I did....it would be becuase of how that person treated me, it would NOT be because of that persons skin color or his religion!!!!!!!!!!!

Nagla- \nWow- This is a powerful question, and one to be asked.  I personally had to answer this for myself, but first let me say "Salam Malakum" (sp?) \nI am devoted Christian American Military Spouse currently living in an African Muslim country, and I don't think you can't get more diverse then that.  \nI agree with you that Americans look bad, because most do not know what a true Muslim is and only know what is report on the news.  (I could have been one of these Americans a year or so ago, and two tours in Iraq could do that to a person.) \nNeedless to say, I would like to end this on a positive note.  All the Muslims I have gotten to know what to live in PEACE.  There are extremes on both ends.  Just as the majority of Americans would disassociate themselves from the ones that are protesting grave sites because the US has gays live there.  \nI would like to encourage you to show these people what your all about.  Not is a IN YOUR FACE way, but a here it is thing.  The pilars of Islam prove that Muslims want Peace for all, that they do not look down on who is that persons personal Savior.  For me that happens to be Jesus Christ.  Yet I feel we can still love one another, and see where each other is coming from with resepect, and honor, in a way that would be glory to both religions.  \nGod Bless You-

not ALL muslims want to kill ALL christians. there will always be a few radicals. one of my best friends' is muslim and so is my sister-in-law. they both are wonderful HUMANS. we live in peace. one must take into consideration the radicals have known nothing else in their lifetimes.killing is all they know because that's all they've been tought. bush is trying to educate;i personally think he's going about it the wrong way but i would have no idea how to 'fix'things myself.guess that's why i'm not the pres.

yeah i generally agree with you, \n\ni think bush corolates with this. people assume the government is full of idiots and is incompodent. but what if that was opposite.\nin order to instate new world order, eventually america must fall. but ya'll don't want that, right? ya'll fight like hell to keep america together. \nso how would one get america to give up it's soverenty.\nthat right there is a long answer.\nbut i'd say if new world order really was happening american citizens right behind the muslims exteremists would be the top hurdles to overcome.\nif your not blind then you should notice america is decaying, slowly but surley. \nso really i think we are being destroyed from within without barley even knowing it

I think the Target is not well defined, this should be a war on Islam not a War on Terror. Many people will think its rediculus, but once apon a time we held a war on Mormonism. Change your religion or convert we said with guns. So they stoped marrying multiple thirteen year-old girls. we won

I am not really commenting on what you say because I don't fully understand what is going on in America. I just wanted to say that "divide and conquer" is a very well established tactic not exclusive to terrorists.

Did you know that the 19 hijackers were called the 19 knights, heroes by some of those good imams! It is because these kind of double messages we see and hear all the time.  Of course the majority of the Muslims are peaceful, but the problem is that not too many of those good peaceful Muslims speak out against these kind of actions, until it is too late.\n\nHave you heard of a Muslims who called upon all Muslims to kill at least one American? not that Muslims will do it, I am sure they will not, but it gives you an idea how some people use religion, or misinterpret it to get their goals done! don't you think so!\n\nAs for the Not so good Muslims, the 19 hijackers.  I learned that if a person took on jihad, no matter how many times they sinned in the past, they are all forgiven, and these men would go directly to heaven, and as an extra reward, they will be able to bring with them 4 other people, even if those people did not do the jihad! is that true?!  \n\n\nJohn Reed wrote: " It is fortunate that the good people out number the bad people, but it is also unfortunate that the very few bad people would be able to cause more harm than the good others can do!"

First of all I don't think that Islamification of America is a possibility anywhere in the near future unless the democrats come in and screw everything up. Second of all if more people knew about Islam then they might not be so quick to jump on the band wagon and call for a retreat from Iraq. In fact if Americans weren't so ignorant and looked into things before they went jumping to anything then America would probably be in a lot better shape. Did you know that there are over 100 million Islamic believers around the world? If we were really generous and said that only 1% wanted to kill Christians, and by Christians I mean all Americans because that is how they see America, then that means there are over 1 million Islamics that wish Americans to die. The number in all reality is closer to 14% which means there are 14 million Islamics that wish to kill Americans. Islam is a threat to America and if the American government and its people do not take action there could be severe consequences.

LOSS LEADER - I think you are grotesquely spinning the wording of the question to further your own twisted agenda. We all know from your answers that you come down on the side of the terrorists quite often.\n\nTHE QUESTION IS: "What's more important, the civil rights of muslim terrorist, or the safety of our families?"\n\n1) Nowhere is the question did ihavemyfaultsbutiamnotwrong even imply that all Muslims are terrorists as you outright state. Nowhere in the question did ihavemyfaultsbutiamnotwrong even imply that families cannot be Muslim, either.\n\n2) His use of the phrase "Muslim terrorists" happens to mean just that ... terrorists who happen to be Muslim. Are there other types of terrorists? Sure, but I don't think we are worried about PETA killing potentially tens or hundreds of thousands of Americans in the near future. The fact remains that the biggest threat to American society today remains fundamentalist Muslim terrorists.\n\n3) The spirit of the question was whether we should be concentrating on protecting the rights of these said fundamentalist Muslim terrorists or concentrating on our safety. It is a very valid question with very valid arguments on both sides. It is a question worth debating.\n\nI understand that you enjoy taking every opportunity to bash President Bush, the United States and its policies whenever you can. All one has to do is sift through your answers to see that. You claim that makes ihavemyfaultsbutiamnotwrong "a totalitarian, a racist, a poor debater, and a jacka$$". I would argue that your one-sidedness, your close-mindedness, your obvious loathing of the President makes your answers inconsequential. Because you are not willing to seek both sides of the argument and even consider the other side's arguments, you obviously are not searching for enlightenment. You are not seeking the truth. You merely seek those statements which support your own. \n\nYou can go ahead and bash me. I already know what you are going to say before you say it ... I have heard your arguments and those like you many times before. You are an embarassment to true discourse in this country. You state opinions as fact and make no attempt to back them up.\n\nObviously, you support free speech - as long as the speaker agrees with you. Otherwise, he is a totalitarian, a racist and a jacka$$. And people are supposed to respect that??\n\nNOW IN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ...\n\nI believe that we must err on the side of safety for the time being. Terrorists are using the Constitution against us, and in times of war, some Constitutional rights have traditionally been suspended.\n\n* Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War. Guess what? That right was restored after the war was over.\n* The right to free speech was suspended during World War I with the Sedition Act. Guess what? The act was repealed after the war.\n* The right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment was suspended during World War II. Guess what? The rights were restored after the war.\n\nCurrently, there is still debate as to whether any rights are being violated or not. There are good arguments to each side of the debate regarding the Patriot Act, the so-called Domestic Spying Program, etc.\n\nBut let me leave you with a question. So many people claim that the Patriot Act and the Domestic Spying Program violates their rights.\n\nHOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN AFFECTED BY THEM??\n\nHow many people reading this response have been arrested because of what they read at the library? How many have had their phones tapped because of what they were saying?\n\nMy point is this: Almost no one - if anybody - can say that they have even been affected by Bush's policies. The only ones the government is interested in are the bad guys. If you aren't a bad guy, your phones will not be tapped, your email will not be read, your library records will not be confiscated.\n\nBased on this, I must say I favor in erring o

Oh come on!! are you questioning the patriotism of American Muslims! \n\nI am glad u asked this question because I assume many americans have similar thoughts but never really expressed them. My answer to you is yes we will fight for our country. Why, because the war against terror is not against muslims, it is against terrorists who use Islam as their political justification. The killing of innocent civilians is a major sin in Islam, a sin that is unforgivable. I read a few months ago that there are more than 18,000 muslim recruits fighting for the U.S army in both Iraq and Aghanistan, we will fight for our country and for all its people no matter what their religion, race is. Islam does not discriminate, all people are equal.
