Should we confront Islam for what it is?

ok.....you say 50 people were terroist..by the way....do you know how many innocent people are killed in afshanistan, iraq? pakistan...if killing an inncocent person is terrorism....then count the number of innocent people killed in all these countries in the past 5 years and compare it with all people muslim terrorists have killed by now....n tell us who is terrorist?? no doubt there are bad people in all community ... but atleast they are hidden, doing things not in public etc....which shows that they are not supported even by muslim community...but what are develop countries doing....it is terrorism...open...in public....in three peice suits....clean shaved....sitting in the best offices....in white house.....so try to change your minds....its not that every non-mulim killed by a muslim is terrorism....even innocent muslims killed by a non-muslim is also terrorism...in a sophisticated way??? yessssssssss.....i think its now time that you ask your leader, CNN, BBC what they are doing to these innocent people.....try to redefine the word terrorism....it is killing non-muslim called terrorism or killing any innocent human being is called terrorism....

Mmmm hm you know wat to be honest we don't care cuz I find one thing about the uk is that many teens try to provoke terrorism and spread rumors now then you can just do that but know this Islam has no control over terrorist you say it like terrorism is pakistans FBI or something intact Islam hates terrorism as much as you so going to the community is a waste of time we are not responsible sure they're Muslim our religion but there are over a million good Muslims but to be honest those who think it's funny to provoke terrorism by spreading rumors and saying lies god will punish so carry on we don't care I don't care you can carry on at the end of the day who's going to look more childish the ones who's innocent getting blamed or the one who's provoke terrorism

Like Martin Luther black people just sit there getting poked with cigarettes while the White ones are gna look foolish doing the stabbing

Muslims are well aware of the minority of extremists we do not need telling. Muslim you seem to forget are the victims of these people too. We are just as much in the line of fire for these people as any non Muslim. I do not recall them getting to Edgwear road and saying can all Muslims get off this train please. I do not recall them saying when they went into Mosques and people where praying could you all leave as I want to blow up this place of worship now.

You seem to think that somehow every Muslim is culpable, supporting or blind to the fact a problem extists. We are more than aware thank you and do no need telling.

I did not need to tell my Catholic friends and neighbours that the IRA was a terrorist problem in the UK they knew. Those Catholics are not guilty by association of belonging to the same said faith and neither are Muslims. Acts of terror are a sin in Islam, attacking innocent people is a sin in Islam, killing innocent people is a sin in Islam, so how you think any terrorist activity is OK by the 99.95+% of Muslims who are not extremists of any description at all I do not know. There are 0.05% of Muslims who are described as extremists of any description, even less than that are terrorists, we are we culpable or to be held responsible?

You suggestion that we as a people are not tolerant is your own perception not fact or reality. You clearly do not see Islam for what it is because if you did you would know the people carrying out these act are directly going against Islam and Gods instructions. Islam is not responsible for their actions they are....

We do not claim this planet to be ''our'' planet. And I do not need ot be more tolerant because I already am tolerant, you have to be to put up with this ignorant prejudice every single day.

There are 1.6 Billion Muslims on the planet meaning 1 in every 4 human beings is a Muslim. If getting ride of every other faith or human being other than Muslim was our goal I think each of us could easily take out 3 people each because that is all it would take, but guess what that is not our goal. Perhaps you should try educating yourself about Islam before spouding propaganda rubbish that is not based on fact but your own wrongly percieved agenda.

Peace to you She said......

Dude, you’re playing right into the hands of the radical Islamicists with a question like that.

The radicals encourage the spread of this sort of opinion because of the effect it has on mainstream Muslims. By speaking out against all Muslims and tarring them with the same brush as the radicals we’re causing disaffection with the west amongst the wider Muslim population. Call a Muslim a terrorist often enough and they’ll find their sympathies start to lean towards the radicals. And why wouldn’t they? They begin to feel they have no friends in the west.

Contrary to what the radicals would have us believe, Muslims are people exactly like you and I. Like us they just want to go about their daily lives in peace. They just happen to worship differently to many westerners.

By manipulating western opinion against Muslims in general, the radicals are achieving a major propaganda victory and and gaining supporters to their cause… and you’re helping them by reacting exactly the way they want you to.

EDIT: LOL @ Andre:"Destroy Islam from the face of the earth!". There's that Christian love and tolerance we know so well...

as a believer of different religion closer to yours, i say this: you are a bigot.

there are no hate crimes in ANY of the holy teachings, its the lack of proper education and improper teaching of the religion that is fault here. As long as there are rich benefactors to the church cause, this kind of misrepresentation can happen.

What we need is a proper campaign for 20 or so years from a government, teaching the true meanings of the religious texts.

But here lies the guestion, who is adequate teacher in this manner? even in christianity, we got several different ways to look at the bible. Which 1 is the most correct way to read the meanings and religion? Because of the freedom of the religion, truth is, they all are. So i choose atheism.

Are you in same violation as these terrorist? are you showing patriotic agenda misread by other "prophets", converted texts converted from language mostly dead to yours, so it fits your agendas? do you know how many versions have been on the same text? truth is, we may know not the original meanings anylonger, all we got is this self guide manual for liwing your life, which some people read like its a lawbook. Jesus thought us how to be kind towards others, not to hate somebody who in desperate act steals food to survive. This was due time where arm was cut off from doing this. Jesus thought of sharing food for those in need.

If you state things like this, i cant say you are a christian.

You obviously have not attended a Christian church recently if you are talking about intolerance for different beliefs!

And were are the Christians (you know, "we the other people who live on the world") who condemn the use of violence against those who believe differently or choose a different lifestyle? What about the rightist wingnuts who promote killing someone because they are gay? What about those churches who preach; "We shall not rest until the whole world bows its knees to Jesus" (actually to "our way of thinking"). How does that make "we the other people" any different than anyone else who has rabid beliefs? Islam does NOT promote violence - try learning more about it. Muslims do NOT promote violence - 50 people out of how many Muslims in the world does not make "all Muslims." Too many Christians DO promote violence.

No organized religion is tolerant of beliefs other than those they create or learn. Best to have no religion at all - rather let's try learning Spiritual lessons of Love for each other. Remember, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor?" The rest of it goes "as thyself" but unfortunately, too many people hate themselves - and hate others just as much.

Tolerance usually comes through understanding, so please educate yourself and you might just find some real tolerance toward those who live on "your" planet.

No one religion is better than any other.

They are all intolerant of each other because all of them believe that they are the only ones who have got it right!

A lot of people do tell terrorists and Islam governments what they think of them. They just don't care.

If we stand up against them, that may bring war. Do you want more innocent people to get killed?

Most criminals are terrorists and majority of criminals in UK jails are not Muslims.
