Why don't Muslims stop terrorist activities and the violence if someone uttered something about their religion

Oh so now you generalize and condemn an entire people.Where is the tolerance when Christian world leaders declare wars based on lies for drugs and oil?

Violence begets violence. However, the only way to stop this madness is to do away with Islam and those who follow it. I am on your side on this one.

I UNCONDITIONALLY CONDEMN the people who did these actions, Islam is a religion for the good of people. They're not Muslims, but mad people who interpret Qur'anic texts at their desires.\nNoble Qur'an's say on this:\n\nAl-Baqara 2:224  " And make not God's name an excuse in your oaths to not making good and acting piously, and making PEACE in mankind.."\n\nAl-Nisa 4:90 "....So if they withdraw from you and fight not against you, and offered you PEACE, then God opened NO WAY for you AGAINST them"\n\nAl-Hijr 15:52 "When they entered unto him, they said "Peace!" "\n\nAl-Qassas 28:55 "And when they (The pious) here the vain talk, they withdraw from it and say: "To us our deeds, and to you your deeds. PEACE  be to you, we seek not the ignorant"\n\nAl-Hujurat 49: 9 " And if two groups or parties among believers fall to fighting, then make PEACE between them.."\n\nAnd many more!!

I wouldn't endorse a ban on any religion.  How can we be a country of freedoms if we start banning people who think differently?  It is the extremist (of any religion) that make it hard........not the regular folks.

because the majority of terrorist attacks are commited by muslims and since most muslims dont condemn terrorism openly that is why ppl think muslims = terrorists...and btw as much as ppl hate bush (and yes i dont agree with alot of his actions) he is right about the war on terror...there is no reasoning with zealots...the majority of terroristic acts are created in the name of allah and the whole goal of most muslism extremists is not the removal of non muslims out of muslim holy land but the expansion of the muslim religion throughout the world...quite like the crusades...muslim people need to realize if they want their religion to be heard by the masses they need to deounce violence and speak out againts the extremists

No Islam isn't a religion that preaches AND teaches terrorism, it teaches and preaches peace and respect towards others. No religion would say to it's followers if you are being killed in your homes bow your heads and hand a weapon to the killer...\n\nIn the time of the Prophet Mohammad (Peace be Upon Him) prisoners of war were NOT to be killed... they were to be realesed under one condition... guess what that was? teach 10 muslims to read then they were set free...\n\nI could go on and on from my standpoint on this... what i suggest is you read SCHOLARLY articles or websites that are well known as religious sources about Islam from BOTH perspectives... \n\nA good site to learn about islam is www.Islamicity.com\n\nMuslims are NOT supposed to kill ANYONE at all... the only case that it is allowed is in the time of war to defend one's self... and even in that case there are restrictions... do not harm a tree, a home, a child, an elderly person if they do not harm you... fight only those that fight you directly...\n\nA lot of those that strap themselves with bombs to kill are seen as wrong in the view of many many muslims... especially when those killed are civilians...

The problem is that these countries controlled by religious class and dictator governments which prohibit and restrict free press and exchange of other ideas.  Most Muslim countries prohibit or otherwise threatened by violence anyone preach his/her religion to Muslims.  Media restricted, everything restricted. and only one way of understanding imposed on the society. so of course when you're child you hear mostly about Islam is the best and other relgiions suck, and you even study Islam in school esepecially if you are Muslim.   \nOne way of thinkin, one view, one eye, cuz lots of misunderstanding and extremism.  and that's why in my view that extremism increased in Islamic world, despite that other relgiions' extreme fans reduced much.    if you don't see the whole picture how you can judge it?   that's the case of many Muslims.  their reaction is non-logical and too much.  and it is hyprocacy by those who lead it, because it is true, in Islamic world other relgions critcizied and rediculated.\n\nSome they might tell you that NO, Muslim respect "Jesus (PBUH)" but then mostly they add "as prophet", they already put conclusiom. that's because they already believe in Jesus and Moses according to Islam, not according to rsepect other relgions.  for instance, Buddha is often insulted in some TV shows, jokes and some cermons.   Hindu also rediculated.  Newspapers often insult Jewish star and rediculate it and connect it with Israelites attrocities.   While NO single Muslim or very less would accept tie Islmic symobls to Terrorism.    Van Gogh, holand move director, killed because he shows Quran verses on women body in his movie.  does that make any sense?  and many say that was good this man who killed him.   OF COURSE, NOT ALL MUSLIMS SUPPOT THAT AND NOT MAJORITY... many Muslims I heard them they criticized that reaction and they call for calm down. \n\nThanks

I don't need to go to your link to answer that. The reason is that some Muslims will attack anything, or anyone, at anytime, for any reason.

I think you are correct, although Its not PC to say so, since they are a minority almost everywhere in the world, and its not PC to say anything bad about minorities ( unless it happens to be a white Judao/christian minority) \nEDIT: If Islam is not a religion of violence, why is every single conflict today about Muslims trying to make others live by their rules, or about Muslims trying to force Islam on others.

You're preaching to the chorus my man.  If you want the west to accept Islam then you have to convince the dangerous radicals that Islam is a religion of peace.  Don't tell us, tell them.  The only thing we care about is not being blown up.

Terrorism is not spacific to religion.  All people are capable of terrorism.

To answer your original question, it is because Islam will NOT hold their fellow Muslims accountable for their actions.\n\nWhen asked of a Muslim, why doesn’t the Islamic majority in the United Nation condemn the thousands of terrorist acts perpetrated by those of your faith? The answer comes back, “We cannot judge our Muslim brothers. Only Allah can judge them.” Yet when it comes to judging the infidel, there are no holds barred. Now, let us contrast this attitude with what the Bible teaches.\n\n1 Corinthians 5:11-13\nFor what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges.\n\nThis is the polar opposite to Islam. The Bible teaches that the Christian is to judge the actions of other Christians and call them on the carpet if they are doing ANYTHING unbiblical. However, those who are NOT believers, the Christian is to leave alone, that only GOD will judge them.\n\nSo there is the contrast. If Islam was really concerned about peace, and was a peaceful religion, they would do something to stop these violent people. But don't hold your breath.

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.

The violence is a political strategy. They are getting publicity, good or not, it's free. They are getting the attention they have been seeking. If they were really that mad over a cartoon, and were really that religious, they wouln't have used violence as a means to an end. Violence gets them attention. And they were right the media gave them plenty. It is just another use of terrorism in the name of Allah. I think we will see more of this in the near future.\n\nJesus said in John 16:2 "They shall put you out of the synagogues; yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.\n3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me."

because muslim people DO NOT beleive in diversity in any way,they beleive that islam is the right religion and they put laws that protect that..for instance if u are a muslim and change into christianity or any other religion u simply are eligible to get killed .\nother minorities are constantly harassed,threatened and discriminated at .\nalso because muslims beleive in islamic states (countries ruled by islam shariia"laws" and occupied by muslim people)\nand to hell with human rights!

Islam isn't a religion of peace.  It is a religion of pieces ... \n\n... as in, that's what they would like to have everyone who doesn't agree with them chopped into.\n\nMuslims riot in the streets by the thousands to protest cartoons of Mohamed.  On the other hand, when someone tries to arrange a peaceful march by "moderate" Muslims to protest the suicide bombings and beheading of civilians, it is lucky to get more than a few dozen participants.
