Why isn't there outrage from Muslims when other Muslims bomb innocent people?  Are there any peaceful Muslims?

A very good question. I'd also like to hear answers to this from Muslims, PLEASE.

No of course not, but when a terrorist says that what he or she is doing is BECAUSE they are a Muslim its hardly surprising when people make assumptions is it? \n\nIt is terrorists who do what they do in the name of Islam that are the problem here, not the innocent potential victims of a bus, plane or train bomb.

Becoming a suicide Bomber and Blowing yourself up is not Peaceful.  How do you label the suicide Bombers?  Muslims?\nArabs? Middle-Easteners? Sex Hungry for 72 Virgins?

I am Muslim here ....trying  not to be angered by so many ignorant comments  here....

Yes.. I have read the Koran, I have chatted with some of the OK muslims, and yes I understand that there are a few good ones.  But the bad ones outweigh the good ones.  Their Koran does include the verses about killing, raping, and was written by a pedofile.  No one can deny this.  What is the big deal of trying to convince us that there are not a lot of bad ones out there.  Hitler did a lot of bad things and there were a lot of bad Germans at that time, but not all were with Hitler.  So what is the point??  You are trying to whitewash Islam and it can't be done.  Leave the good ones alone and let them be good.  They really should seperate themselves from the rest of Islam.  The peaceful Muslims should invent another name and go ahead with that and let the bad ones go their way.  If the peaceful Muslims continue to associate themselves with the bad ones then they will all be colored with the same brush.  The things that they do, cutting off hands, feet, taking out eyes for Islamic legal punishment.  There is no denying this.  Muslims dis-assocaite yourselves with these folks!  Become western muslims or something like that.\nLast year they discovered TWO Islamic terrorists cells in Lodi CA in the mosques there, how many times have you read that about the Baptists??  Give me a break, dis-associate.\nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS PROTEST IRAN GETTING NUKES?? They are silent.  \nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS PROTEST. OSAMA BIN LADEN??  They are silent.\nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS GO BACK AND FIGHT TO HAVE PEACE IN THEIR LAND?  They are not there.\nI am not talking about the ones in Iraq that are trying to do the right thing, I am talking about the ones safe and secure in the US complaining.

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????

As for Jews or Muslims (and both should be caps btw) I dont like&#92;dislike them or anyone else because of a blanket judgement by society of them, their faith, race or ethnic trait.  As for "Muslims" in particular.... I do think the moderate Muslims (If any such persons exist) are letting the foaming at the mouth militant radicals do their faith a great diservice by not DAILY loudly and publicly condemming the current atrocity being commited by the militant Islamists in the name of their religion.  I say daily because, check the news, an opportunity does present itself at least once daily.  So, having said that, my opinion of the radical extremist mutation of Muslims that claim to have a mandate from Allah to kill anyone not accepting "the prophet" is they make a strong case for drowning at birth and I would gladly take my turn at the creek bank.  More bluntly, I laugh like all HELL everytime I hear on the news about one of their ball bearing and nail packed bombs going off pre-maturely and blowing the butchering morons up.

Islam is not blowing people up.  Timothy McVey (a christian).. he blew something up... it was not christianity that blew up a federal building.\n\nHold people accountable for their actions, not what philosophy they use to ratonalize bad behavior.

Well, the only Muslims we hear from or about are those causing a ruckus.  The millions of Muslims who live quiet lives and don't make threats against others or whose children don't become bombers never make the news.

You are so right.  I need to see more Muslims (or any Muslims for that matter) stand up and make a noise against the atrocities you mention.  I am sick and tired of the childish attitude that I have seen where if you mention one of the crimes Muslims have committed they just point the finger back and say, "Well, look what you did!"  I'm sick of this.  I would like for them to say, "yes, we have a serious problem and I'm sick of it too!  We must stop the violence in our ranks."  But they do not stand up and say this.  It annoys me.

Any religion in which its clerics encourage its members to strap on bombs and blow up innocents along with themselves isn't what I would refer to as good.  I have no doubt that there are alot of good peaceful followers of Islam out there but as long as they permit these extremists to hijack their religion people will continue to assume that Muslims are evil.  I don't see the out cry of Muslims, the anger that these extremists are dishonoring all followers of Islam.  All I see is them making excuses for them and their actions... Just once I would love to hear a Muslim at the very least say, Yes they are wrong and I am ashamed of them.

From everything I've seen in today's current events, those sites seem to be very acurate. I've checked them out before, and everything is documented by former muslems. As far as hostilities toward you by muslems here on Yahoo goes, that seems to be their nature everywhere. We can all say we know peaceful muslems, but we don't know how peaceful they would be in another environment. We do know of the atrocities and inhumanities perpetrated because of a few cartoons. It doesn't surprise me that the hostilities extend to this forum. You will certainly be villified by some because of this question. Their villification of you, is an attempt to hide their own inhumanity. The ones that vilify you here, are the same ones that would torture and murder you in a different setting. THEY WILL TRY TO SAY THAT YOUR QUESTION EXPRESSES HOSTILITY TOWARD ISLAM. That is how they deal with truth.  So don't take it to heart.

Try not to confuse terrorists and Muslims. If you recall, we had a supposedly "Christian ex-US Military, Operation Desert Storm VETERAN" who blew up the Federal Building in Oklahoma. He, much like the filth that flew planes into buildings in Sept. 2001, deserve the same thing, they are one in the same.\n\nThis isn't a Christian vs. Muslim thing...or it shouldn't be, but with sentiment like what you are writing, and what the idiots protesting a freaking cartoon, we are all being led down a dangerous path.\n\nThink before you write things.

Because Muslims feel that their religion is thicker than the blood it sheds. They could care less about the dead it's brought. Anyone who posted saying they decry it, than why don't I see any on this post? I saw 3 posts of Muslims within this hour, and you mean to tell me that they didn't read this post? Bah get your head out of your ass. Muslim is a religion of hate, desguising itself as a victim. Don't be decieved.

i agree, islam is not peaceful, man made, and hypocritical...what other religions has a promise of virgins waiting in heaven if you kill a non-believer...

The cartoon of Mohammed with a bomb on his head was totally out of line. It stereotypes Muslims, and implies that Islam is a religion of violence and suicide bombing. These generalizations are unfair and unnaceptable. Islam is a religion of peace - a way of life. There are just those who misunderstand, and those are the ones that get all the attention. There are good Muslims!\n\nI DON'T agree with the way Muslims reacted. What are they angry about? The cartoonist implied that Muslims are VIOLENT, and they reacted with VIOLENCE. That's not protest, that's proving a the cartoonist's point. And that just makes me sad...
