SOME believers are said terrorists;
SOME non-believers are said terrorists.

We in the West know good and well that not all Muslims are terrorists. Here in the United States we have a large population of Muslims, and they aren't running around blowing things up. But every time you pick up the news paper and read that a car bomb went off some place, or there was a beheading, or hostages taken you immediately know that there was some fanatical Muslim terrorist organization behind it. You know it wasn't Tibetan Buddhist Monks flying planes into our buildings on 9-11. it wasn't Jews slaughtering Arab athletes at the Munich Olympics. The reputation of your religion has been hijacked by the lunatic fringe groups, and they make sure that every time the word Muslim appears in the headlines that it is linked to some sort of violent act. But then again...... I have a bad feeling that every time you pick up a news paper, if it has anything to say about America these days it's probably the same damn thing. I hope and pray that some day it's not like this any more.

No disrespect intended, but I've been told that your own book says that anyone who doesn't believe the same as you are infidels and deserve death. And that's what many of your faith are doing, blowing up many hundreds of people, all in the name of your faith. Even though many of us know that not everyone of your faith is actively doing this, the few who are are the ones who are making a bad name for your faith. You're experiencing some of the same kind of attitude that Christians face too. Because of the actions of a few, we all get lumped into the same mold, and called Fundamental Right Wingers, and other such names. These names get thrown at us every time someone blows up an abortion clinic, or prays in public. We're not all alike, though we are supposed to represent God in the things we say & do, and be like Jesus in how we touch peoples' lives. There are many different kinds of Christians, just like there are different levels of faithfulness among your own faith. I don't say Muslims are terrorists. I say there are some terrorists who are Muslims, and that's a fact. Lots of people have seemed to have forgotten how they felt when they saw the buildings fall in New York. I guess the passage of time makes things fade. We can't just turn aside and allow people to do that, no matter who they are. So, I'm sorry that you're caught in the middle of this thing. But, if your own book says that it's okay to kill an infidel, I don't know what to tell you. I don't know how well you've read your book, and know what it says. Again, I don't mean any disrespect, but maybe you need to read it again and ask quesitons of things not understood. I read my book every day, and know what it says. When I have a question, I ask someone who can help me find the answer. Knowledge is good, and so is truth. <*)))><

Its wrong to call Muslims as terrorists. You cannot generalise. Terror has no face and the terrorists have no religion. You will find such people in every religion, be it Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, or any other religion.
If you go through the preachings of Islam, it only talks about love and peace. And that is what is told in every religion.
But, on the other hand, Islam is one of the religions which spread by the use of swords. It came to India through the Mougals who invaded and forced people to accept Islam. Same thing happened in Africa and other countries. Unfortunately, it was contrary to the preachings of the religion.
Seldom will you find a religion which is hybrid and did not spread through force. May be Hinduism is an exception. When Aryans came to India with their own religion, it got mixed with the Dravidian religion and Hinduism was born. Aryans worshipped the Sun, Vishnu and Bramha (the creator) while Dravidians worshipped "Pashupati" (Lord of Animals or Shiva). They all got mixed and accepted in Hinduism. Even Buddhism was treated as a byproduct of Hinduism and Buddha was called the 9th incarnation of Vishnu.

Yes I agree with you that a majority (80-90%) of em Muslims are peaceful and agreeable...but then again the rest (10-20%) of em are not human but violent and repressive animals. Unfortunately these non-humans get the most attention and it becomes a simple matter to turn these non-humans into representatives of an otherwise great religion.
Also the majority of Muslims are eerily silent regarding the terror activities caused by their own (yet are quick to denounce anything even the least bit anti-Muslim)...so many people (including myself) then suspect that the Majority are either clueless or are really with Osama and Fiends (the non-humans).

because that's what they want us to know, the media, the government. I have muslim friends, I have jew friends, there is no difference between us, but muslims have the oil, so they must be known as terrorists, otherwise U.S.A couldn't attack those poor people, right ? And stupid people couldn't believe that muslims are bad people .
I don't believe, that there is a minor terrorist group of muslims , I think, they are just the U.S.A agents , they pretend to be a muslim, and maybe they are really muslim, but their purposes are different, they want to give U.S.A a good reason to attack the muslim countries... And when they attack to muslim countries, the real muslims are angry to christian countries, and they become an enemy to the other countries...So, it goes on...The fight never comes to an end...

Absolutely correct.
Two questions:
1. Most terrorist acts we read about come from the Muslim community
2. Where is the SPOKEN outrage within the Muslim community about these terrorists

Of course NOT all Muslims are terrorists. We have people in the US that I would consider terrorist (Oklahoma City Bombing comes to mind). People tend to stereotype which isn't right. It's a shame certain people feel this way. I don't believe most people do though.
