Yes, I am, and I don't wish all Americans to die because of so and so reason... neither do all Muslims think so.

Do you believe that Osama and all the other LOONIES running around blowing themselves up to kill others in the name of Allah are Muslim?

Do you beleive Bush who has killed thousands illegally in Iraq an american?

Can you say "DAMN RIGHT!"
Illegally? Yep, and out come the true colors.....
Which I might add is why I didnt donate. Thanks for proving my point. :)

You prove the terrorists point. Targetting the 4000 people killed on 9/11 for an act of a few. If you generalize, why can't the terrorists? Innocent people are innocent people regardless of nationality, race, creed or religion.

Because the innocents killed in Iraq are a result of the war, brought about by the innocents killed in the 9/11 attacks. Without 9/11, we wouldnt be in Iraq. They brought it on themselves.
i use they in a general sense, but then again you could say I'm one of those "ignorant" people who dont differentiate between the good they and bad they.
its just they, and they are the enemy. Each and every one of them.

Thats ridiculous. Are you are saying the thousands killed in Iraq were directly resposible for 9/11. No one can prove that even Saddam was.

Actually, we went to Afghanistan to get Osama because of 9/11, not Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with the war. We went to Iraq because Saddam had been screwing around with the UN for decades and three independant soverign nations (Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt) among others said Iraq had WMD's, which we found (VX gas).

Faith and nationality are two different things, bonehead. One you can't change. The other takes work to follow the teachings of in order to actually be a part of.

Islam is a religion not a faith.

:laugh: and that changes what? Nothing. A religion has to be followed. You can't say "I'm a christian" then not follow the teachings of Christ. You can't say that you're a Muslim if you don't follow the teachings of the Muslim faith/religion/WHAT THE ****** EVER.

Then 99.5% of the "so-called" muslims arent muslims

Are you going to answer my questions?

I did. You can't say "Bush is not an American" because of his actions in life. He's an American because he was born within the boundaries of the United States. Your question was ****** stupid. :roll:

Thats my point :roll:

Anybody who embraces Islam is a muslim, that is if he recites the "kalimatusshadat" ...Then again Islam is a religion, not a faith.

Those who embrace Islam would not be acting like terrorists because what the terrorists are doing directly conflicts with Islam teachings.

No, I hate those lunatics, they are partly responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Muslims as well as the deaths of those occupant soliders killed since the beginning of Afghan and Iraq war. If I get the chance stop them by any way I can, I'll do anything to do so, and so will all the victims of the war, and the 99% of the Muslim population of the world that is now viewed as terrorists by the rest of the world.

That's because the rest of the world is just as dumb as some of the things you've said in this thread like the terrorists being muslim and McVeigh being Christian.

And because some dumb people mention Osama as a Muslim representative, other people have to post examples of bad Westerners/Americans/Christians, to prove the point that there are black sheep everywhere, and not all Muslims/Pakistanis/Arabs are bad (just like all Christians/Westerners/Americans are not bad).

PS:
Can we please try to help those who are dying in the open? At least we can stop arguing about it. (If you want to discuss, please PM me, after all your labels like "dumb", "lunatics" for the whole Islamic world, I'm still ready to talk in a freindly manner, with an open mind, to help clear your point of view about Muslims/Pakistanis/Arabs)

problem? what problem? Just expressing my intense hatred towards a illogical and stubborn being. Sure one can say that my approach is not the best way to change an opinion, but some people jsut arent worth the time or effort cause their bigotry is so clear cut

I didn't realize that a flamebait thread on the internet would save lives.

Anyway, this is the kind of result that you'll get with what you posted.

If he's not worth the time or effort, why bother? Why do you hate some random stranger over the internet?

Good thing to know that you hate illogical stubborn people, though. You must hate yourself the most.

First off, I admit I'm a bigot. Thats more then most will do.

Secondly, "They" (in terms of my previous post) are Muslims. And (In my opinion) they are the enemy. Everyone shoves this PC crap down my throat about how Muslims as a whole dont support the ideas of Osama and his kind, and yet I see very few Muslim leaders and countries actually speak out against what he does. VERY few. Its hard for me to believe Muslims as a group are the "Religion of Peace" when all of them sit back and dont voice any outrage in regards to the actions a few of them take. Call it guilt by association.

As for going to iraq, if you havent looked at it tactically you wouldnt understand why we're there.

You said he's not worth it, not me. Thanks for playing, though!

Could I construe that to be a direct threat against my life??

1) You don't see those leaders lashing out against the extremist terrorists because you don't pay enough attention -and what attention you do pay, you pay it to American media that has an agenda.

2) We never went to Iraq because of it's "tactical" anything. :roll:

Threats of physical violence over the phone, written, and internet are federal offenses, ya know.

Not that he'd actually be able to do anything, but he's committed a felony. If the FBI doesn't want to bother, I'm sure his ISP would love to know what he's doing. ;)

Well, you've certainly done a WONDERFUL job of refuting my post. Amazing. once again I repeat...
I see a lack of Muslim leaders speaking out against osama.

As for Iraq, you obviously havent looked at the situation in a tactical way. Thats ok, keeping that post count rising probably takes up a good deal of your time and you havent had time to look for the entire picture.

And I saw a lot of Muslim leaders spoke out against osama after 9/11, but I didn't see that projected in the media as much as Osama's words were.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, my friend.

There have been threads on this very forum talking about the Islamic teachers (Shaek or however you spell it) visiting the prisoners at Abu.

It doesn't matter what strategic position the US can hold by occupying Iraq. That's not why we are there. That's not why we are there. That's not why we haven't left yet. You're full of poop.

The same reason that the OP thinks that people like McVeigh are Christians, etc.
