That's nice. The Inquisition was 800 years ago, the Crusades 700 years ago, the holocaust 60 years ago. Kenneth Bigley was beheaded yesterday.

And your point?

right, dont compare bad to chopping off heads. but im not surprised that coming from you

So you are saying all the Muslims in the world chop off heads? Show me proof kid as to where in the their religion it says to do things? It is clear you cannot back up your claims on the P&N forum yet you continue to post.

just because i pointed out your post was totally incorrect means im a kid now?

no, not all muslims chop off heads. but most, if not all of the "head chopping" is done by MUSLIM TERRORISTS. you cant spin it any further

Most likely done by the same gang. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. You are taking the actions of a few men possibly not more than 10 and saying the entire Muslim population is like that.

so all of the terrorist acts done around the world are done by 12 men???

worst.post.ever.

Al Qaeda has no more than 12,000 men by current U.S numbers. The beheadings are probably done by the same gang of 12 men. Let's add 50 more gangs and bring the total to 500 if you so like. If you have evidence that I am wrong then post it, otherwise my stats stand.

there are other terrorists besides al qaeda. maybe if you read the news once a while you would have noticed that

Ok I will give you a number of 1,000,000 men. Still less than 1% of the total Muslim population.

im thinking about 10% of the muslim pop. to be somewhat sympathetic to the terrorist cause(s).

Even if its 1%, its more than a million people and that is alarming

Obviously you are wrong. 10% of the Muslim population is sympathetic? Show me proof as to how your numbers are even coming close to 10%. Considering the majority of the terrorist are Arabs I do not see how that could be possible. 15% of the Muslim population is Arab. To get close to 10% you would have to have the majority of the Arab world sympathetic to them. I think not. You fail.

like i said, you bring nothing to discussion. are you forgetting about the terrorists in afghanistan? Pakistan? indonesia? chechnya? phillipines?

should I name more?? those terrorists are not arab.

You can interpret the Qur'an, the Bible, or even the White Album to justify anything you want. The culture in some Middle Eastern countries breed this sort of religious ignorance and hatred towards the West and Jews in their Islamic schools.
It is exactly like me going and killing people and then saying Jesus is great. Does that mean Christianity is to blame?
When the current level of murders inspired by Christianity reach that of Islam, get back to me. As of TODAY, Islam/Muslims have a serious problem to cope with.

Don't blame the actions of Palestine and link it to the Muslim world. Egypt/Jordan get along fine with Israel. Like I said in my previous post that the Arab world is 15% of the Muslim population. Palestine does not get respect in the M.E even from their fellow Muslims. If they did something would be done about the current situation. I still do not see what this has to do with the majority of Muslims. All of the countries in the M.E hate the west? Then why does the U.S call most of them our friends?

The Taliban are terrorist? They might have extreme views, but they are not terrorist. They harbored Al Qaeda in Afghanistan who were the terrorist. You still don't have 10% as most of the terrorist actions in those other countries were linked to Al Qaeda who I said had a number of around 12,000 by current estimates.

The same as some Pope ordered all Turks killed in 1095. Killing in the name of God. These people were beheaded by Muslim insurgents in the name of Allah.

terrorism just doesnt happen out of nowhere. it requires a great deal of support in money and a safe haven, etc. just because 5 people are shown on the video doesnt mean only 5 people took part in that certain beheading. there are many more that took a part in it.

we know islam didnt behead anyone, but when people of the same religion cause almost all of the trouble around the world, people start to assume and some make up their minds more quickly than others

So is every other religion, even Satanism. That does not excuse the fact that a large percentage of so-called Muslims have been schooled to hate the West and Jews in the name of Islam. You can call them "bad Muslims" all day long. It's due time "good Muslims" got up and did something about these people turning their religion to a doctrine of hate.

No. Technically they are saying, "Allah U Akbar," which is, "God is Great." You are dodging the point that they are in fact using their religion as a justification of brutal, barbaric murder.

They can use religion all they want for their actions. That doesn't make them good Muslims. It makes them haters not religious men. If the Quran actually supported their actions then I would agree with you, but the Quran supports nothing they are doing.

you keep bringing up that bs about people using jesus as an excuse to kill people. the truth is that noone does it today. it did happen in the past. lets use current examples plz

This is frustrating to no extent:

1. Terrorists kill claiming they do it in the name of Islam
2. People claim Islam is a religion that encourages terror
3. Muslims jump to the defense of Islam.

Why the fvck don't you Muslims attack and kill the rabid swines that are performing acts of terror in the name of your religion instead of dancing around the issue and acting as if the greatest crime committed here is the slur on Islam. Your fellow Muslims are perpetuating these incredibly cruel murders. Why the fvck isn't the Muslim world sending in large numbers of forces to kill these "few" bad apples - I mean, come on, these guys are not just rabble-rousers - they are committing murders in a fashion that is comparable to Hitler's killing of Jews. And all you can come up with is, "Don't blame Islam for the acts of a few". Well, then get the fvck off your butts and do something about it :| Otherwise STFU, do your namaz 5 times a day and swallow it when the world calls these pigs ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.

Actually, I understand where you are coming from. But I am very cynical of ALL religions, not just Islam. But I don't subscribe to the camp that thinks we should impugn an entire religion based on the actions of some of them.

I grew up in a town that has 10,000's of Arabs in it. Dearborn, Michigan. Now of that huge number, maybe even higher today, I would say that at LEAST 10% of them are in fact, Christian and not Muslim at all. That is because Arab does not necessarily equal Muslim. Anyhow, I got into fist fights and all out brawls with many of them growing up. Not because of our religious beliefs, mind you. I know these people to be for the most part very peaceful, kind human beings. There are exceptions as noted above.

I simply don't see these beheadings as being something that is done because they are saying their God is better than our God. They are saying, get the FVCK out of our country. If it helps you sleep better thinking they are killing these men because they don't like you God, then so be it. But I assure you, it runs slightly deeper than something that simple.

well the short answer is that many muslims agree with the terrorists to a certain degree. im not speaking for all the muslims, but a huge portion of the palestinians supports suicide bombings etc

The majority of Muslims do not hate the Jews and the west. Look at the countries surrounding Israel and you will see one problem and one problem only. Palestine. Jordan/Egypt/Lebanon hate Jews? Tell that to the Israeli people who travel to those countries.

schools that preach hate for Jews and Muslims? Show me how this is widespread. Show me proof that their government supports this. Show me proof that this is happening in the majority of Muslim countries. Also reading from the Quran all day long might be extreme, but it doesn't make one hate the west or Jews. Watching a CNN video of Pakistani children reading from the Quran with their head going back and forth does not justify your point. What countries are you talking about where the good Muslim should get up and take a stand against the bad Muslims?

next time you post a link post one from a reliable source. Forget the source. Like I said pick up a Quran and translate it for yourself. The one I have sitting here on my desk tells the opposite of your so-called ownage site. The majority of it is translated incorrectly or taken out of context.

Like I said you have no clue about Islam. You are the one that believed in a virgin heaven and an Islamic heaven. You are clueless.

Owning? Stop acting like a 12 year old, but I guess you have to act your age.

Ask any Muslim what they think of that sect of Islam. They will tell you they are psychos. That is a Saudi problem not a Muslim problem. Go preach it to the President who calls them our friends.

I'm all for regime change for Saudi Arabia. If you ask me where the terror is linked to I wouldn't say Islam. I would say that country.

Some people are so clueless and you shouldn't be allowed to have children.

Keep off the personal attacks you motherfuckingsonofabitch and I will accord you the same consideration. Thanks.

All you are doing is arguing that there is no contractual evidence of Islam bound to commiting acts of violence. The evidence lies in these beheadings - not in some book. Seriously, you think the problem here is people hating Islam. No, the biggest problem is people killing in the name of Islam. Don't try to skirt the issue by talking about irrelevant things. I come from a country with the second largest population of Muslims in the world - India. I am not like most Westerners who only have a passing acquaintance with Muslims. In India, when Islamic terrorists commit terrorism, Muslims are the first to acknowledge and treat that at a social level. In the rest of the world, Muslims want to turn a blind eye and wring their hands and cry crocodile tears over the "unbearable and unfair criticism of Islam".

Umbrella39 - what a capital statement! I am speechless with your stunning repartee.... :roll:

Bottomline is this - if you are a Muslim and you hear someone suggesting that Islam is religion of terror, there are one of two things you can do about it:

1. Defend Islam and argue with the people criticizing Islam
2. Look at source of the problem and do something about it.

As long as you keep taking the easier option #1, you will continue to hear that Islam is a religion of vile terror.
