Muslims murder 3,000 innocents in New York and expect no criticism. \nMuslims murder 202 tourists in Bali and expect no criticism. \nMuslims murder 333 schoolchildren and their teachers in Beslan and expect no criticism. \nMuslims murder 292 innocents, mainly Kenyans and Tanzanians at two US Embassies and expect no criticism. \nMuslims murder 241 US and 58 French peacekeepers in Beirut and expect no criticism. \nMuslims fire 4,000 Katyusha rockets into Northern Israel killing over 50 innocent civilians and expect no criticism. \nMuslims murder 52 in London and 191 in Madrid and expect no criticism. \nMuslims murder 200 in Mumbai and expect no criticism. \nMuslims behead Western hostages in Iraq, Buddhist monks in Thailand and Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia and expect no criticism. \nMuslims murder 500,000 in Darfur and expect no criticism. \nMuslims regard Jews as 'sons of pigs and monkeys', and vow to nuke Israel and expect no criticism. \nMuslims force women to wear hideous sacks, stone to death women for getting raped and for leaving the home unescorted, engage in honor killings of sisters and daughters for unapproved dating, and expect no criticism. \nMuslims danced in the streets and handed out sweets to their kids to celebrate the 9/11 atrocity, and still expected no criticism. \nSince 9/11 Muslims have killed over 26,000 and wounded over 50,000 in terrorist attacks worldwide since 9/11 and expect no criticism.\n\nSince 9/11 Muslims have committed terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Chad, Chechnya, Dagestan, Denmark, East Timor, Egypt, England, Eritrea, Ethiopia, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ingushetia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Jordan-Iraq, Kabardino-Balkans, Kenya, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, Gaza-Palestinian Authority, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Somalia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Arab Republic, United States, Uzbekistan and Yemen, and still expect no criticism.\n\nMuslims have carried out over 5,800 fatal terrorist atrocities since 9/11, and countless thousands since Islamic conquest began in 623 AD and expect no criticism.  But if a Pope dares to tell the truth about Islam or Danes publish cartoons about Mohammed, then let the outpourings of Islamic hate and outrage begin.

One could say that we are in WWIII right now, although most unlike WWI and WWII.  Seeing so many violent protests throughout the Muslim world over the cartoons of Mohammed published by Danish and other European newspapers, I can't help but think that the conflict between the Muslim world and the Western world has been escalating for centuries, and will soon erupt into a much larger scale conflict.  It's not about the war on terror, Bush trying to take over the world, Oil-rich capitatlists trying to manipulate the government, but an age old conflict of political ideology, religous beliefs, nationalistic pride, etc.\n\nBut if you refer to an all-out conventional/nuclear war between the most powerful countries of the world, i.e. America, Britain, France, India, Israel, vs. Russia, Iran, China, Pakistan; then my answer is no, thanks to globalization.  No matter how precarious relations between the world's most powerful and/or influential nations may be, most politicans will realize that such a large scale war is economically stupid, when even unsound peace is economically preferable.

It's not Islam.  It's the state of Muslim nations which is in a struggle for freedom.  Muslim nations have directly and indirectly been, and in some cases, continue to be colonized by Western Nations.\n\nMuslims have not been able to fully practice their beliefs in about 100 years.  In many cases they have been oppressed by tyrranical regimes that are supported, militarily and economically, by Western countries.\n\nAs a result, desperation and extremism have been allowed to flourish in some parts of these countries.  If history is any indication, once these people are able to rule themselves by the Islamic Shari'a (jurisprudence), they will not have any animosity against anyone.\n\nWhat we are seeing today is reactionary.  If the West, especially the U.S., was to implement a more even-handed, fair, and truly pro-democratic foreign policy, there would not be a need for such extremist reactions.  Unfortunately, so far the West has viewed the Middle East as a region to serve interest of the West, even if it went against the interest of people of the Middle East.\n\nI must say that it is arrogant to think that what pleases the West (i.e. materialism) will be the answer that will please Muslim nations.  Not to mention, absolute freedom infringes on the borders of morality that Muslims live by. This is philosophical and idealogical colonialism at its worst, which is more dangerous than military and economic imperialism.\n\nWho are we to think that they're jealous of us?  If anything, Pope Benedict was correct in saying that Muslims criticize the West for marginalizing God and religion in everyday life.  The West is in dire need for an idealogical renaissance.  Morality has been replaced with greed and selfishness.  As a result, we say 'democracy' but act in the most fascist manner.\n\nIt's time for us in the West to wake up.  The presence of extremism in the world indicates that we are also extreme, but in the opposite direction.  We need to start refocusing on God, human rights, family, and the global community.  Then, and only then, will we not taste the sour fruits of our seeds.

no, they fly planes full of innocent civilians into the World Trade Center buildings, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania while screaming "allah is a booger" or something like that.\n\nthen they ask questions like "Why are you infidels picking on Islam?  It is a peace loving religion!  If you badmouth Islam once more, we will cut your head off!"

No countries have done such things, groups within countries have done though.  For example, Islamic fundimentalists have waged war on western civilisation (not just Christianity I might add) but that doesn't mean all of the Middle East suddenly becomes an enemy.  Much in the same way, the Nazis were German but that doesn't mean all of Germany was an enemy during WW2, just the state that took presidence.

No.  First off, it is no Islam that is the threat but the radicals.  Christian religion has the same issues.

Islam is the greatest threat humanity faces today.  Their religion, from bottom to top, is based on violence and conquest.  Those who do not follow Islam are infidels, and are therefore evil.  And harming or killing "evil" people is not only allowed, it is rewarded.\n\nThis is why Islam spawns terrorists.  Islam is not a religion of peace, as American politicians claim.  The American politicians are trying their best to placate this lunatic cult, in an attempt to keep them at bay until they either:\n\n1. Learn tolerance of other religions\n2. They destroy themselves with their infighting\n\nIf neither of these things happens, the only other option will be to wipe their culture off the face of the earth.  No one wants that, though the muslims certainly don't seem to be afraid of it.\n\nRegardless, their religion is a death cult, and the peace and love that it is supposedly based on ONLY applies to other muslims.  They are a vile culture, and if they are not held in check, they will most certainly propogate a nuclear holocaust as soon as they're able.\n\nYep... get rid of them.

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.

I think its a culture war.  Between people who want some freedoms and people who want to have their religion control the functions of government.\n\nIt's not just some guy flying a plane into a building, its the people who blow up the abortion clinics.\n\nSo its this fringe of religion, both Christian fringe and Muslim fringe, that the rest of us are trying to eliminate not only militarily but politically.\n\nA Crusade War would have to be where one Army lines up against another Army,  and the one side is one religion and the other side is different.  \n\nThis is a culture war, between extreme fringe religion, and the mainstream.

It seems it all stems back to religion.  There will always be war and bloodshed until all organized religion is extinct.

I don't follow Aljazeera links as it seems too closely linked with terrorism.  Their reporting seems biased at best for extreme Islamic radical movements.\n\nFreedom is not war, but peace.  The true submission is not to an external force but to the internal nature, even to our God.  Death and pain does not refine us or free us, but instead life and productive sacrifice (work).\n\nNo rational or moral argument can follow the use of force, which is only fit in resistance to force.  Anger and revenge are incompatible with the peace and freedom for which religion strives.  All who preach such enmity in the name of God (who Muslims call Allah) speak falsely and offend God, the Father of all peoples, by dividing His children against each other.\n\nThose who claim freedom can fight only those who initiate the use of force, which includes terrorism.  No freedom fighter can kill an unarmed person, without certainty that this person intends to take up arms against him.  Terrorists cowardly fight freedom by targeting civilians and hide their guilt behind their own deaths by suicide.

I think that you are a bit too worried. I do not believe that that is happening in such a degree that we have to be worried. I know that if it starts it has to be stopped while it is possible, but I do not see how it can catch on to everybody else. Yes, there are political leaders who are willing to create policy based on religion, but I believe that the majority in power will successfully oppose those voices.\nIf it would happen, then it will be theoretically like an Islamic state. Of course, because of Christian morals are far less aggressive than Islamic morals it will not look like an Islamic state, but it is scary to believe that it is not like that just because of the morals.

Please take your Propaganda to Political category.  This is Reiligions and Spirituality not for this type of crap\n\nAnd this is a common strategy of your religion, create problems and when other party retaliate, play the victim and cry loud--oh we are being persecuted for being muslims"\n\nThe blood is shed on the other side too !!  Their children are also losing parents... But since terrorist countries  want Israel to vanish...this war will continue for ever.\n\nIf Israle is against Muslim, why he does not kill Egyptians,Jordanians, saudis, UAE, and other peaceful countries in Gulf??

they don't.  countries fight over power, over money, and over resources.  those who direct the fighting, who actually cause the wars, don't care about religion.  religion is just a convenient excuse for them to stir up hate and bigotry, which NO religion condones.

Sounds great! If god is on Islams side how come there getting their heads kicked in by the allies?

Yes....it has started to turn into a civil war. To your why......because shia and sunni are two Muslim groups who have been turned against each other . Where there is fuel it is easy to turn it into fire. So there are a lot of people who are exploiting this situation.
