that`s annoying us
stop doing that
the people who you see on TV are not Muslims
those are terrorist complaining that they are Muslims but they are not..
that`s disrespectful for us
I am Muslim .. I am not terrorist !!
All too many muslims turn a blind eye to the actions of the terrorists as they prepare to act. There is a docudrama of an incident in Iraq where a couple dozen citizens watched the terrorists plant an IED but told no one and did nothing.
When the terrorists finally detonated it, killing and injuring American soldiers, they indiscriminately retaliated killing many in the surrounding houses. Not one of those killed were actually terrorists, but it was kind of poetic justice, because most of those killed knew the bomb was there and did absolutely nothing. An awful, horrible and despicable event, but not totally unjust.
You realize the people you are talking about live under fear that we can not imagine right? The people planting these bombs would slaughter their families in a second if they turned them in. Most of them won't risk having their families slaughtered to report a bomb.
Also, while we like to think of ourselves as the "good guys", over there we are the invading force that invaded their country and overthrew their government without provocation. If the Iraq military invaded and overthrew the US and my fellow US citizen was planting a bomb to fight back, I don't think I would be real quick to turn them in especially if I thought they would hurt me or my family. I am not going to put the saftey of my family ahead of tbe safety of the soldiers of an invaiding force.
One of the most celebrated events in our nation's history, the Boston tea party, was an act of terrorism. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, and it is easy to ignore that distinction when you country is the one invading others, and not the one being invaded.
HOLY SHIT! I don't believe what i am reading. A comment by the real gypsy sailor that actually makes sense! I actually agree with you here. Why can't you think this clearly most of the time ?? Did you actually remember to take your meds for once, is that why you are thinking clearly ??
Justice...even though at least some* of those victims had no idea what was going on?
*Note my use of the word "at least some" and not all.
"Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all Terrorists are Muslim" - Benjamin Netanyahu
You may as well be a terrorist if you are Muslim. Following the islamic faith is a choice in countries were Muslims are not a majority. By being "moderate" Muslim you provide a population for terrorists to hide in. Failure in assimilation also leads to many Islamic groups in the west being far more extreme than what you would classically find across the Middle East. The entire religion is a threat to western culture and should ideally be stamped out wherever and whenever possible.
Those Terrorists are definitely Muslim, they must be having a hard time with so many liberals telling them that they are not ;).
If you don't want to be part of a cult that is going to set humanity back you should convert ASAP. Stop following your sand runes and pick any other religion. There is only shit in Islam.
Im a christian but dont get me wrong...i think muslims are calm, sweet, gentle and peaceful :)
This is what I expected from you miss PURPLE :)
and this is what i feel toward Christians or NON Muslims
and all my family too :)
If i can speak English WELL/good , i would tell you more about who created terrorism and what makes terrorism spread in Arab countries :(
Because the world is full of idiots. It is easier to feed people with fear then it is to educate the masses with the truth.
i doesnt thinka moslems as terrorists but i look down on anyone who needs to so obviously wear theys religion as an identity
and i gots a blind frothin fuckin mortal hatred for anyone what thinks theys gonna make me tailor my life to fit theys fuckin religion
"Sanjeev, I just got a promotion at my workplace, The Curry Kingdom. Let us go and celebrate by painting the town red tonight!"
"But Pravesh, we do not have any red paint. How do you propose we do such a thing?"
"Well, interesting question... What do we currently have at our disposal?"
"We have lots of TNT, Pravesh. Lots of TNT and Curry - as these are the main commodities here in India."
"Clever you are, Sanjeev, and here we even reside in the TNT manufacturing capitol of the world, Bombay."
"So, you have an idea, hey? You have an idea? Eh?"
"Why certainly. We simply strap these bombs to our bodies and detonate them in a densely populated area in order to paint the town red."
"You are such a clever man, Sanjeev. You are the bomb."
Of course it's not fair to judge an entire group by the actions of some of it's members. It's my understanding that most Muslims are peaceful, however, many are not!
There's no way that I or anybody else can tell by looking at or talking to a Muslim which kind you are.
I typed in the search question, "do Muslims advocate violence?" I've copied and pasted the first paragraph from
the first site that came up in response to my question. Here it is;
"The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter."
If you didn't know it before, do you understand now why we're afraid of you?
Which quran did you read out? Did you not saw the verse " There is no compulsion in religion " in it.
I didn't say I read the Quran. I said I asked the question and copied and pasted the first answer that came up, which describes what the Quran advocates.
I've read other places that the founder of Islam wrote the entire Quran himself over the course of his lifetime. Toward the beginning of his book he preached peace and love and toward the end of his book he preached intolerance and violence.
His followers can pick whichever part of the Quran they want to follow. Most choose to peacefully coexist with the rest of humanity, and the rest are on a mission to slay or conquer all the infidels (unbelievers).
"There's no way that I or anybody else can tell by looking at or talking to a Muslim which kind you are. "
Well by your logic you might as well say you can't tell what kind of russian/chinese/american person one is and therefore it's right to be afraid of them.
Also, considering it appears that you're judging from the first thing you copied and pasted off a search engine (that quote was from a markedly anti-Islam site ironically called thereligionofpeace.com), it sounds like you have failed to get the first commandment of the internet, and that is to not believe everything you read online. If you haven't read the Quran, how can you judge? Go study Islam and come back before making a judgment. If your point remains unchanged after, then that's your opinion about the religion and you are entitled to it.
Yes this explains perfectly why you are afraid of them, because you bilndly give in to propaganda. Because propaganda is what you just posted.
You read something that someone said on the internet and took it as gospel and posted it as your proof. You have no idea if it is a true statement, and if it is, you have on idea what those 109 actually say, or if Muslims actually follow them.
There are violent things in the Bible too. It tells is to kill homosexuals, it tells us that in some cases rape victims should be put to death, it advocates genocide, I can go on and on. But most Christians and Jews do not follow these things, because religions modernize over time and people don't take these things literally.
So if you would not assume most Christians or most Jews would take every terrible thing in the Bible literally, why would you assume it of Muslims?
I'm not blindly afraid of Muslims. I'm afraid of the ones that follow the Islamic teaching to kill the infidels, and because I can't tell by looking which ones they are, I am concerned about all of them.
In regards to your last paragraph; I never assumed some Muslims are violent. I just listen to the news and presume that most of the time the news is substantially correct. I know we get lied to a lot, so I'm sure some of it isn't. If some of these suicide bombings in the news are true then I am persuaded that some of them are violent.
This isn't a court of law where I have to prove my point. This is a venue where people give their opinions.
I am not telling you to prove your point, and I didn't say you blindly believed Muslims were violent, I said you were blindly following propaganda, and I was refering to the information you cut and pasted off internet.
Because according to you, you looked no further than the first result, you didn't care if it was accurate or not, you didn't fact check it, you didn't care if the source was bias or not. You just cut and pasted whatever it said and said "this is why we fear Muslims". Do you really not see how thay makes you appear completely ignorant?
This is a place for opinions, you are entitled to express yours, and if I am of the opinion that your opinion is based on ignorance, I am entitled to express mine as well.
I copied and pasted the first thing I found because it substantiated what I thought I already know about Islam.
Look, you're probably a nice person. If you were a terrorist or a religious fanatic out to kill infidels I'm sure you wouldn't be on this site wasting your time talking to me. If you were my neighbor or coworker we could easily become friends as we got to know each other to be peaceful people.
Let me ask you, with all the prejudicial sentiment in the air against Muslims, do you ever feel a bit uneasy when you are out in public by yourself among non-Muslims, among Jews and Christians? Do you feel justified feeling uncomfortable around us. Do you think we all hate you? Are you religiously profiling us?
I am not a Muslim, and I'm not the OP. Syaing you grabbed the first unsubstantiated peice of propaganda you could find to fit your world view just confirms that you have given into propaganda. You don't seem especially interested in reasearing the issue yourself. You seem content to just listen to what you hear from others and granting extra credibility to that you information when it confirms what you already think. That type of blind ignorance is how hate and fear spread.
Well, a lot of it has to do with our history. People are skeptical because there's no way to tell who a terrorist actually could be. Also, in this very judgmental society we live in, there will always be people that exist who will throw muslims into that stereotype. It's not fair to you, but many times life isn't fair.
Well thats really sad that people call you terrorist. And about the media showing things wrong...its just the western propaganda. Only the stupid and utterly brainwashed people with no living cell in their brain take that bullshit seriously. So dont let them get to you.
Do not listen to them brother
IT is not normal
IT is abnormal
So, DO NOT care, OR DO NOT mention
you are not a terrorist
They do not know that there are in the world more than 1.6 billion Muslims
And the number of groups or terrorist organizations does not represent 0.0001% of Muslims
They do not know it
They do not know that there are Muslims who want to live in peace and security and safety
They're just watching their channels and their media only
Not hear any other voices, they listen to their voices only
Not all Americans or Europeans against you
Because you'll find many of them standing in your class .. and stand by your side
And you'll find people are not Muslims, whether they are Christians or Jews or atheists or otherwise stand with you and support you because they know the truth and they know you are not a terrorist .

26 only said "no, it is not normal"
what kind of fuckin world we live in !!!?
of course, it is not normal
customers are so mean to my muslim coworkers. It's depressing that people are misinformed and ignorant The sad part of it is most of these isis people look like angry white dudes that like to fight everyone.
Yes, but its not your fault nor your fate's. It's because the so called islamic state is killing innocents and significantly misrepresenting your fate.
So, we had a war. We conquered Iraq. Now the terrorism is worse than before, ISIS is on Allah's mission to start Armaggedon. So, we are confronted with the age old question; how do we stop terrorism?
