To all muslims who claim they are peaceful - 2 part question?

Osama IS NOT the leader of Islam he is a radical terrorist who uses and manipulates the teaching of the Quran to promote his own political agenda. Islam preaches peace and submission. I was raised Cristian and and Converted. I was very ignorant before I picked up a Quran myself and read it. Please do not fall into the trap of believing only what you hear and see from the Media. I have many reason to back everything up and if you want a personal discussion about this I would love to IM.

1) Osama Bin Laden is not the leader of Islam. He certainly is Muslim and a leader of a group of Muslims, but does not speak for the whole of Islam. He is certainly an extremist according to popular opinion.

2) In response to one answer in this thread - Not all Nazi's were Christian and it was not a Christian movement. It was a culturally driven genocide instigated by a maniac who claimed Christianity only one selling point among many (nationalism, arianism (blonde, blue eye, caucasian), and modern progress of the society) to rally other lunatics. And he didn't even use the Christian thing as often as you were led to believe. Furthermore, Christians were not exempt from the holocaust. Many died alongside their Jewish brothers, along with gypsies, foreigners, and those of minority.

3) Where do educated people come up with all these assumptions?

Erm, what about the Nazis? They were Christian, does that mean Christians are all anti-semitic mass murderers?

Osama Bin Laden is a radical Muslim, which means he takes the worst parts of the Qu'uran and twists them to make a perverse message. Just like many religious leaders of all faiths have done through the years!

Just ask good old Rev Ian Paisley.

well, I am a real muslim from Egypt, my name is Abd-Elrahman and i`m studying marketing.

first I want to ask you who told you that Osama bin laden is the leader of the muslim religion?!! you know, the problem of you (western people) that you claims free of opinions but you don`t hear except your selves, either with us or againest us, this is the words of your president, you don`t accept others you wanna globalize the whole world to be a little village, American village!

second Osama bin laden don`t speak on the behalf of muslims but on the behalf of his organization.

third what do you know about islam? prophet muhammed says to his army the following:

when you enter any country don`t kill accept who wanna kill you, don`t kill any child, women or old people, don`t cut a tree or poison any wel( water), you will find people who are praying in their praying palces never ever herat them...etc,

while in your book in the old testomny it is mentioned that if u entered any country if they didn`t celender kill them and their animals and if they did take them as slaves for you..!!

ill tell a real case was the reason of the converting the egyptians from Chritianity to Islam, from more than 1000 years egypt was under the romans judge and then muslims enterd egypt and started to settle their and tooked some taxes from egyptions but the romans camed with a giant army so the Muslims had to leave for now so what did they do?

they payed back the taxes to tha payers and left to enlarge their army, the egyptians was atonished, they never see a behavior like this before and they converted to Islam.

This is a very little from what islam is really is, prophet muhammed even cared about animals as he sayed do not take your animals back as chairs.

If you wanna real know how can islam be peaceful just read islamic history but make sure to take it fom an hones source, thank you.

Athough bin is a son of the serpant, he is not supposed to be the leader,.. even though it does appear he has alot of evil control. The president of Islam is also the son of the serpant. He can write our President such a "nice" sweet letter that is nothing but a bunch of twisted lies of deception. his mouth is that of the dragon just like his father satan. How is one that claims he is soooo "peaceful" make the statement that Islam will take over the world???? EVIL IS AS EVIL DOES.

1.Bin Ladden is a terrorist & most muslim people hate him as well...I'm surprised to hear that you think he is a LEADER OF MUSLIMS..it is not true..he's the leader of a terrorist cult named "TALIBAN" which claim to be muslims too.But he is not really a muslim cuz muslims believe in peace.

2.dude I'm a muslim & I do not judge all Americans by G.W.B's actions & points of view..I believe there are nice people in America too.

Osama does not represent muslims, if you really want to know a religion, read their holy book not judge by the actions of the few.

For God sake don't make Bin Laden a leader. If he proclaims that himself then I will kill him.

Bin Laden is not the leader of islam. anymore than your minister is the leader of christianity.

Muslims base our entire country on one man G W. BUSH
