Islam does not justify the killing of innocents - not even in war. It is well documented that civilians were not killed back in the days of the Prophet(pbuh).
Even prisoners were treated humanely and with dignity. Not like nowadays where human beings are tortured by the great "democracies".
In my view, as much as the world has progressed forward, we are morally more backward than ever. The people in power are only in it for money. While people in the undeveloped world die of hunger, people in the "developed" world are dying because they are eating too much. We let stupid angry people set the precedent for the rest of the muslim world. Justice nowadays means a burgular can sue you if he falls through your roof.
Im sorry if this has turned into a rant but its true that we are more backward than ever, and if you are looking for a reason, it is because we have neglected religion and become a shadow of our former selves.
I think the only way we can redeem ourselves is religion. God knows us better than ourselves. After all, He made us and knows how we work. Who are we to say that we can make better laws than Him?
We need to go back and follow the pure unadulterated form of our religion and stop listening to people who just shout over the others.
By the way; this is an open forum and all, But would people please stop taking digs at Islam and the Quran. It is very hurtful, abusive and inciteful. People who hurl abuse at other peoples religion are part of the problem. And I would encourage anybody to have a look in the Quran and show me where it says that killing innocents is lawful. There is no place in Islam for terrorism, radicalism, killer clerics, terrorist sympathiser wotsits or whatever the media is calling it now.

Well said but two issues which I will broaden on.
First, not all the Muslims consider these "terrorists" terrorists. Remember, one man's martyr is another man's terrorist.
There was a time when George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were called terrorists.
Second, yes it is time for Muslims to wake up and do something but we are just so consumed with greed and lust for power, land, money, and "to be free from the enslavement of Allah" and to be more like Americans and Europeans that we are not one anymore. We are not united and we are more concerned with pleasing the powerhouse in Washington D.C. than with what happens to an average person or about our own future and our children and the fate of the world.
For those of you haters above me who all claim to have this deep-rooted in the Koran and what not, how many of you have actually read the Koran? And when you hear things or see quotes, try to be a little intelligent and understand the context in which it was said. Otherwise you are nothing but a mindless drone who just repeats what is told to him.
This is anything but the way of the Koran and the Sunna (way of life of Prohet Mohammad PBUH). It is a recorded fact in history that as long as Muslims followed the Koran and the ways of the Sunna, they flourished. The Muslims empire ruled the world. They excelled academically, socially, and financially while Europe was buried deep in its dark ages. That was a time when piece reigned in the middle east. And as soon as we let it go, our own dark ages began in which we are still stuck and the middle east has never been without a war ever since.

Let us look at this on a global level. The 'trouble' spots of the world... lets think. Ah, yes. The current situation in the Middle East, Afgahnistan, Iraq, that kosovan war thing in the past, troubles in African nations and terrorism in the Far East. Every single current 'war' zone has one thing in common. Muslims. These 'people' do not want peace and never will.

you spot what they do is provide you each and every of the non violent verses interior the Quran and that they are superb suited their there yet what they don't inform you is they're null and void by using Mansookh which invalidates each and every of the verses that manage peace and invoke those to kill unquestionably everyone . Ive asked the question what's the Mansook they decline to answer Humm what do not they want you to correctly known. yet another question they wont answer is What has to take place till now the Resurrection of the ineffective can take place. the respond is each and every of the Jews might desire to be exterminated and all different religions might desire to the two placed up to Islam or be exterminated .Mohamed replaced into surprisingly sensible instituting the Mansookh if he made a mistake or needed to alter a prior Quote he ought to . He instituted it after the Jews would not placed up so he had to function extra as against to exterminate them and each physique else.

They should, but they won't. As long as they keep following the Quran, there's not much hope of this. Despite what you may hear, they hate "infidels" and are not likely to give up on this ridiculous notion. They're miscreant ingrates... all of them. There are three types of Muslims. Terrorists, those who want to be terrorists, and those who secretly support terrorists, but pretend to be peaceful, loving followers of Allah. May peace be with you.
'nuff said?

if they truly are a religion of peace and love then why don't they rise up and take a stand against their own peoples for the atrocities that they commit in the name of their god.....instead the rest of the world is doing what they needed to do...stand against the terroristic behaviors of their own peoples .....when will they stand up and speak out and call for and end to all this hate and evil their own people are spreading...they can not expect anyone to take them seriously as a people of love and peace until they take a stand and stand with the rest of the world against the terrorists.....because the longer they stand back and don't speak the more clearly they are saying with their silence we agree with what they are doing ...........

There can never be peace with muslim's. The quran teaches them to live in peace with their neighbours only while they are too weak to attack them.
How can you have peace with a people who are taught such things by their so-called prophet.
War on a large scale is coming. whether you like it or not. All muslims will suffer because of these nutcases, and they are partly to blame, because they harbour and protect them.

Forget the terrorists...
What about all the sexisim, forced arranged marriages also known as pimping rape slavour human trafficing as that is exactly what it is, support for genital mutilation of girls an many islamic countries, oppression of gays and women, denial of affection to girls...
Hanging a d stoning of teenagers for falling in love and splleping together, hanging of gays for the same,
etc etc
these are not the actions of the odd terrorists but the who legal systems and cultures of many of these countries...
A terroist may has the excuse to fighint the oppression of his people but explian the dominance of women? and abuse of gays

Do yourself a favour - read the Koran to know that the disease is deep-rooted. Unless Muslims jettison the Koran - which they won't do - there is no hope at all. Legions of terrorists will draw inspiration from those worthy pages!

I wish it were only that easy. I continue praying for peace but how are the Muslim at whole supposed to stop the distructive people who are poison their religion? Any suggestions? Many of the religious leaders have denounced it. How must they stop it though?
