Islam: Peaceful or Violent Religion???

........erg.........

The Islams are fine. It's the radical Islams who are violent (the ones who make videos with guns and say "Blow the Christians' brains out!"). That's my two knuts.

Muslims, Keaton. Muslims.

My point is that the Islams are fine, the radical Islams, not so much.

I'll quote To Kill a Mockingbird on this one, (DUDE BY THE WAY THAT BOOK ROCKS) the Bible in the hand of one can be more dangerous than a beer in the hand of another. Same with the Quran. No religion is inherently "evil", it's just what you take out of it.

amen to that i agree

"Here's the best way to say it: "All Muslims aren't terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims." This leads me to believe that, while not inherently violent, the religion lends itself to violence and extremism moreso than most."
this quotey thing made me mad
because the definition of a terrorist is One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism. and the act of terrorism can be defined as The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

SO tell me where is says all terrorists are muslim it doesnt and maybe you misspoke but still you had time to think about what you were gonna say and it came out racist so think before you speak/type
whoo okay lemme calm down
i think that no islam is not an inherently violent religon
and im sorry i posted and quoted so much you guys just hit a nerve

Well, I guess you can't say ALL terrorists are Muslim, but the ones that we mainly hear about are from the Middle East.

Everyone seems to have forgotten, but there was one particular American terrorist about 12 years ago. His name was Timothy McVeigh. He blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Building, a 7 story building in Oklahoma.

The similarities? Timothy McVeigh thought that he was a "hero". He thought that he was doing the right thing by blowing up that building, and so do the terrorists that we hear about. They don't just do things to be evil, they do things because they either believe that God is asking them to, or that it's the right thing. But is it? NO!

It's kinda like those Christian Extremist people that stand on the corners and yell very loudly with a southern accent, "JESUS IS COMIN'! ALL HOMOSEXUALS WILL BURN IN HELL!" and then throw pamphlets at passing pedestrians and cars. Are they doing it with good intentions in their opinion? Yes! Are they representing the ENTIRE population of people who follow Jesus? No!

It's the same thing with the Muslim/Islam terrorists.

[Swoosh]

I agree, Maria. However, concerning the "American terrorist" thing - how many have you heard of in recent years? I mean ones that AREN'T associated with Muslim extremists?

[kathleensamazing]

Swoosh is right......i think anyway

[Swoosh]

The last thing I'm trying to do is be prejudiced or racist- Again, NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS.

However, I also want you people to see reason and not be too overly PC for your own good. I'm just trying to point out that most if not all modern terrorists are associated with an extremist faction of Islam.
