think of it this way, if from the day you were born you were told that the number 2 was actually 3. then that is all you would know.  \n\ntoday all we are told is that islam is bad, to some  people that is all they have ever been told

Hate is a very strong emotion, I would sat that I have no use for what he stands for or has done. I do not trust or have any respect for a religion that was started by an individual of his sort. The religion of islam is nothing more than a perversion of judaism and christianity without recognizing the diety of Jehovah,Jesus Christ, or The Holy Spirit. Without Christ their is no salvation, therefore all muslims who do not recognize Jesus as the Christ are doomed to eternal hell.

I am a sunni, and i don't hate anyone. I'm sure u are asking this considering the situation in Iraq. Yup, we are all brothers but the one really following Islam are the sunnis. Shittes are tottaly wrong. the others, i don't have any idea. I think the powerfull and honourable people of all those sections/parties(whatever u call them) are the one responsible for this situation. I believe  although some of the groups u named above are not following Islam throughly, we should still respect them and should not fight. Thats all.

yes.\n\nThis is actually not a very new thing.  'The West' has been fighting with Islam for over a thousand years.  The only time this ever stopped was when the west was fighting Communism and Facism for 70 years in the 20th century.\n\nThe people that believe that 'all war is bad' are the people that are causing the west to sleep at the wheel on this issue.  All war is NOT bad -- World War 2 was NOT bad, that was a good war.  The Napoleonic wars against France were NOT bad wars.  The US Civil War was EXTREMELY bloody, it was also innevitable and it was by and large a necessary war.

Biblical Christianity. Islam was started by a man not God who was possesed by a demon while in a cave. Islam has it's roots in polytheism (worship of many gods). Muhammed picked his favorite (allah the moon god) and started a new religion. The quran is not a proven historically accurate book while the Bible has never been disproved by Science, History or Archaeology. Islam is a violent religion that seeks to make converts by any means and has no problems with killing people who don't agree (9/11). Even though Christian history has times where people did horrible things while calling themselves Christians (the inquisition) those who did such things were not true Christians becuase Biblical Christianity presents people with the truth that Jesus died for their sins and He is the only way to heaven. Believe in Him repent of your sins and He will forgive you and give you the gift of eternal life for free. Islam does not promise eternal life and does not offer it for free. Islam does not deal with people's sins and offers no way to be forgiven. Islam is false and I hope those who have been deceived by it's horrible teachings will come to find Jesus as their Savior so they can be forgiven of their sins.\n\nIn Islam the people have to do their best to reach a distant and unloving deity. In Christianity God in His love for His creation reached down to us by sending His Son so we wouldn't have to reach up to Him. He made the way for us.

Muhammad (pbuh) will strongly disapprove this LilPink  because he told us the teaching of Allah( GOD) n he has clearly told that never kill innocent ,ladies, old peoples or rest of the  peacful peoples and fight only to those who are fighting with u, He told us not to destroy even vegetation if u are fighting in enemy area.....and fight only to those who attack you. well killing in islam is basicaly for defensive purpose n God doen't like killing innocents.....killing is only allowed for war purpose  .like when u are attacked by some invader who want to destrou your sovereingnty u should fight with them .......for those redical muslims i must say they are Wrong totaly wrong and they are terrorist........they are not following true islam and these are the peoples who brought bad name to our religion but the worse thing is that rest of the world also judge islam on basis of those redicals....they are  not following islam..i must say they are equal to that terrorism that is being practised in Iraq and Afghanistan, \n  the sad aspect is that there are redicals in other religions as well but only islam is judged on  their activites while rest of the religions are spared.... anyways..simple answer to ur question is that Yes Muhammad will strongly condemn such activities.which are surely terrorism..\n\n peace!!

Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all terrorist.\nHowever Christianity and Judaism have very little power to do evil any more. The West is not Jewish or Christian, it is POST-Judeo-Christian. On the other hand Islam is still in the middle of Dark Ages, and there is very little possibility for changing that.\nIslam teaches terrorism, it is right there in the Quran. It is ever Muslim’s duty to fight in the way of Allah. It is every Muslim’s highest honor to die in the war for their religion.\nTherefore, even though only a minority actually commits terrorist acts, a GREAT majority supports them with their whole hearts. Even a bloody terrorist like OSAMA, is extremely popular and loved everywhere in Muslim world. People don’t say that to the Westerners, but they are so happy, when terrorists strike. \nWithout the moral support of the majority, the violent minority would not be able to operate.

I like how the islamic people who answered the question keep saying, "don't listen to people who say bad things about us."\n\nI don't believe islam is, in and of itself, a bad religion. I just think the fringe in this religion is more tenacious than the fringes of other religions. There are christian psychos but they're not blowing themselves up in Saudi Arabia or the UAE. There are jewish fanatics but they're not blowing up christian churches.\n\nI think the stigma towards islam is, and muslims cannot deny this, if you look at almost every major violent conflict in the world, islam is somehow involved: india v. pakistan, israel v. palestine, russia v. chechnya, bosnia v. serbia, east timor, philipines, etc. etc.\n\nSometimes the muslims are the victims but often they are the aggressors. From an outsiders perspective, though muslims are peaceful, they do not seem too tolerant of others views.

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.

i think a lot of it..comes from islam.  although it contains five pillars, of peace and charity - one is required to defend islam (this is played down by moderates and used mostly by extremists) and that is exactly what saddam did. he could have killed millions MORE, but in defense of islam it would have been somewhat acceptable.  islam does mean "peace" but when your new occupying power, US, are not brothers within the islam faith, we're technically the infidels, and shouldn't be tolerated.  the people of iraq are mostly peaceful people and should be viewed as such... But islam only allows that to go so far when you've lived under a theocracy your whole life...

I have mixed feelings about Islam to be perfectly honest.  I think it has the potential to be a great religion, but its followers have some things they need to work out.  It is a fact that there is terrorism among Muslims, and this is a major problem.  It is a fact that there is a lot of hatred of Jews among Muslims, and this is very wrong.  But it does not have to be that way.  There are wonderful Muslims who are peaceful and loving.  I just wish there were more of the good ones and less of the bad ones, and I wish that the Qur'an and Hadith were easier to interpret in a peaceful manner.  The fact is, there are verses in the Qur'an and Hadith that seem to me to support violence, if one wishes to seek support for violence.  I think this is problematic.  It can be solved, because the same thing is true of some other religions but they do not interpret the violent verses of their scriptures in a violent way.  They have reinterpreted them with an eye to peace.\n\nI have studied Islam a little.  I have talked to Muslims, read the Qur'an with some commentary and Hadith (al-bukhari), and I have read a few books on Islam, by both Muslims and non-Muslims.

it is rather disgusting and I believe that it goes to show that Islam is a religon of evil and should be outlawed.\nAnything that spews hatred should be outlawed. Its not communism in any way. As murder and segregation is outlawed because its obviously acts of hatred; so should Islam.

Yes, yes and yes! I'm a Muslim who believes in tolerance, love and peace. Yet, I keep getting stereotyped as a terrorist because of the horrible, insane actions of some fanatics who misinterpret, or misuse, the teachings of my beloved religion. I hate them and everthing they stand for; It breaks my heart to see them commit these evil acts against innocent people in the name of Islam, which has always taught me to respect other people's beliefs and how to live and let live. It's not fair to label me and my religion based on what these monsters do. It's just not fair.

read the truth and do the research. Islam is not now and never was a peaceful religion. it was founded by a liar and thief who used made up visions to promote his own agenda. The man was a pedophile and rapist. For your own sake, read your own texts, These official works include: the Sira, Ta'rikh, Hadith, and Qur'an. Ishaq's Sira, or biography, called Sirat Rasul Allah, provides the lone account of Muhammad's life and the formation of Islam written within 200 years of the prophet's death.\n\nThere were no miracles to prove Muhammad's claim of being a godly conduit. There were no healings, walking on water, parting seas, raising folks from the dead, or feeding multitudes. And there are no fulfilled prophecies, like the exacting and detailed predictions that Biblical prophets routinely made to demonstrate their divine authority. But the most troubling part about our absolute reliance on Muhammad's testimony that he and his Qur'an were divinely inspired is that the prophet's character was as deficient, and his life was as despicable, as anyone who has ever lived.\n\nFollowing his first Qur'anic revelation, Muhammad claimed to have been demon possessed. By his own admission, he tried to commit suicide. Those who knew him best, his family and neighbors, said that he had gone mad. “He is a demon-possessed sorcerer fabricating scripture,” they said, accusing him of plagiarism and of having purely selfish motives. They mocked his prophetic claims, ridiculed his Qur'an, and said that his preposterous notion of turning many pagan idols into the one God was insane. As a result of this verbal abuse, all chronicled in the Qur'an, Muhammad pledged to slaughter his kin.\n\nHaving destroyed the “religion” of Islam in Mecca, Muhammad created the political doctrine of “submission” in Medina. He became a pirate, dictator, and terrorist leader. He used Qur'anic scripture to justify some of the most horrific behavior imaginable: pedophilia, incest, rape, torture, assassinations, thievery, mass murder, and terror—all in an unbridled orgy of sex, power, and money. Again, this summation simply reflects the portrayal documented in the Islamic Sunnah and confirmed in the Qur'an.\n\nWhen he was fifty, Muhammad married a six-year-old child. Then he stole his son's wife. After forcing young girls to watch his men execute their fathers, Muhammad raped them. He tortured his victims to make sure no booty escaped his grasp. He committed mass murder, slaughtering Jews in genocidal rage. In ten years, he ordered a score of assassinations and conducted seventy-five terrorist raids. He used the sword to force Arabs into submission and used the slave trade to finance Islam. He was more interested in collecting girls and taxes than anything else. He ruled through fear. And his god condoned it all.\n\nAlas, Islam was not all murder, plunder, and lust. There was war. Tabari VII:105 “In this year there was the expedition of the Messenger to Uhud. In year three of the Islamic Era (March, 625) the Quraysh were provoked against the Messenger because he had killed their nobles and chiefs at Badr.”\n\nThe Meccans had witnessed the prophet's demented behavior at the pit. “Muhammad has bereaved us and killed our best men. So help us defend ourselves against him and perhaps we will obtain vengeance for those he has slain.” They wanted to prevent the onslaught from continuing. Yet today, Muslims raise shrill voices protesting that Uhud was proof that the Meccans were the aggressors and that Muhammad was forced into defending his flock. But their own scriptures say otherwise, putting Islam in a difficult position. If these Hadiths are accurate, their prophet was a warmongering terrorist and a ruthless pirate. But if these Traditions are not true, they have no prophet and thus no religion—for nothing else is known about him or of Islam's beginnings.\n\nIslam is a caustic blend of regurgi
