I would like to hear from Muslims who believe in peace between all races and religions. Somebody please stand up and say that you don't agree with terrorism.

Terrorism is just plain against Islam's teachings!!! First of all, suicide is condemned....harming innocent civilians, women, children, old people, harming a place of worship (churches, synagogues), or even trees is wrong! Muslims can only fight against those who oppress others and fight Muslims first!
I believe that the Palestinians have a cause to fight, but I do not agree with the way Hezbollah and Taliban are carrying it out.

wajiha and lyla,
You could benefit from the thoughts of another Muslim female named Irshad Manji (see the link). Islam is in need of a reformation of sorts. She would like to re-instate the Islamic concept of ijtihad or a re-examination. You both know that Jihad is being used for the external Holy War rather than the inner "struggle". People such as Osama Bin Laden and Abu Musab al Zarqawi (now dead) preach the concept of Jihad against the infidels in order to spread Islam. They justify the killing with it.
You two seem to be more moderate Muslims. I have seen your posts. Maybe you can be a real voice for moderation before this whole conflict between Muslims and non-believers gets uglier.
I'll send you a copy of the book if you wish.

Dear Americans, how many of you are against us bombing the hell out of the world or giving weapons to Israel to do it?
Israel is using American weapons
US went after oil in Iraq under false pretenses and LIES
We destroyed Vietnam and Laos with chemical weapons
We financed Al Qaeda in Afghanistan
We attacked Cuba and were repulsed
on 9/11 1971 we orchestrated a coup in Chile and overthrew the democratic government
And we wonder why no one likes us????

I believe most of us are. I think that understanding will bring peace between races and religions
