thank you crystal, it is such a nice question and i would certainly love to read others' replies as well....
well the problem is....it has bcum a stereotype that muslims are terrorists and this bloody media is misinforming ppl abt Islam....these anti-muslims hav taken one idea fro Quran "killing of infedels" and they are using this particular idea to stigmatize Islam....
however, if ppl really decide to read Islam, they will find out that our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) always foragve his enemies and was never harsh on them....but these ppl who call muslims terrosrists, are gaining their info from site like these....and they are not gonna get any far from here...
yes you are right abt what abt bush? america has caused the death of tons of ppl all over the world. it was america that attacked afghanistan...and still there are several bombs that were dropped but they never exploded, so they can explode at any moment and certainly innocents will die. just look at Iraq...."war for Iraq" what is it? they, americans hav destroyed their country and where is democracy now? they are headed toward a civil war.....
it is bush who made all such wrong decisions and caused massacared....besides muslims havn't killed even half of teh ppl as much as chrsitians killed.
WWI, WWII, jeeeeeeeez i never read name of any muslim country in these wars....all of them were christians...
it is just a stereotype now that all muslism aer terrorists, but its is not true....

Bush is the embodiment of ignorance and almost qualifies as a terrorist himself. I couldn't disagree with him more, and I am an American in case you were wondering, and I would really like to live somewhere else a lot of times.
By the way that is racism when some one makes it seem like only Islamic people are terrorists. Generalizing ever is racism. If you have the numbers you can say most but unless you have the statistics they need to shut up.

We cannot just put all terrorists into a single category. Different ones fight for different causes. Islamic terrorists kill people to further their causes, which are based on extreme, possibly inaccurate interpretations of Muslim texts.
Bush would not be considered a terrorist because he doesn't physically kill people. He led thousands to their deaths, but he didn't actually do the shooting. This makes him a bad man, but not a terrorist.
Hitler, for instance, was bad and his actions led to millions of deaths, but he never went into a death camp to release the poison gas onto the victims.

The terrorists we are dealing with are Islamic terrorists. They profess to do their evil deeds in the name of God and they claim to be of the Islamic faith.That is not to say that all Islamic people are terrorists. The KKK was a terrorist organization who claimed to be Christian. They could just as easily been labeled Christian terrorists.

Why? Its only because the media wants to create controversial and striking headlines on the TV and Paper, and obviously behind the scenes just to provoke scaremongering.
For example the IRA in Ireland were never called IRISH or CHRISTIAN Terrorists, but now ISLAM is so much in the world's focus (mainly in a negative way) its hardly surprising people are using this term.

The elected President of a rich and powerful country. Perhaps the poor and war-torn countries of this world are that way because the people who live in them are that way themselves.
The terrorists are described as Islamic because they are and it helps others understand what the terrorists are mad about and fighting for. If you were as upset about Islam being portrayed in a bad light as you are about other Muslims killing innocent people you could help fight terrorism.

Christian. And everyone realizes not all Islamic people are terrorists! But, lets face it, many terrorists are Islamic. And we in America, at least, have the right to know if they are Islamic!

They identify the terrorists, which is reasonable. President Bush is a defender of the masses from the terrorists, big difference.

It is a way of stereotyping. Bush is the worlds #1 terrorist. I wish some country would come spread democracy here in the USA.

Uuuhh, because they use the Islamic religion as justify their heinous actions. Was that all that hard to figure out...really?
As for Bush, he's a corporate terrorist. Totally different animal. He wears a suit and rides in a limo, you see?
