Why don't you try directing your question to the 0.01% of Muslims that are terrorist, and not to the 99+% who are just trying to live their lives in peace.
Out of a billion followers of Islam, even assuming 100,000 terrorists and insurgents, that's still under 0.01%
For comparison 0.7% (or 70 times as many) US citizens are currently imprisoned. Which gives us a much higher criminal population than the arab world, statistically.
And it's amazing how people so quickly forget all the US citizens who have committed terrorist attacks. Waco. The Oklahoma City bombings. Eric Rudolf. The KKK. And on and on and on. None of them followers of Islam.

I have not killed anyone or do I have any intention of doing so..All the people (Muslims) i know do not kill either.... And most people DO take offense to the culture of Muslims...always making fun of the way we dress,pray, and conduct our lives...I really think you have your thoughts wrong..You know since i have been on Yahoo answers..so many people here talking about the killing of others cuz they don't believe in same things--it is not the Muslims saying these things.. but we are being blamed and accused of it.. so tell me where all the hate is coming from??

Thier have been other terrorists before the current range of muslim extremists, many of them having higher kill-rates then Al Qaeda
The IRA, Bader-Meinhoff, the Lockerbie plane bombing etc..terrorism is not new.
Secondly, it isnt all muslims who commit these acts. Often, they are our fellow country men, who do what they believe is right for whatever perverted logic they care to attain. The 7/7 Bombers were all educated, British citizens, one was even a teacher...
Thirdly, the Muslim world is highly advanced in many areas, you just dont care to see them. Their Cukture, History, Traditions and societies are completely different to ours, yes, but so what? Most arabic countries are very moderate, such as Jordan and Pre-Israeli Lebannon. The bad countries, such as Iran, often come about due to our countries messing aroudn in their affairs
Learn you facts, fool

Dude, that's like writing an open letter to "whites" after Tim McVeigh blew up Oaklahoma City.
Why can't people get that 99.9% of Americans are not terrorists and 99.9% of Muslims are not terrorists either. And if 11% of Americans were treated like terrorists, 100% would be angry.
Today, more than 11% of Muslims are falsely accused by people like you. Embrace the people who are good and lock up the people who do evil. If you accuse people who have done nothing wrong but resemble other people, you're the one who's evil.

First of all, running Spellcheck would have made for a more impressive question. Second of all, not all Muslims are responsible for what's going on. MOST Muslims are as horrified at what's going on as we are. There are absolutely innocent Muslims living in the USA who are now living in fear because of so much prejudice. You are absolutely WRONG in what you're saying and you should educate yourself. Your ignorance (and poor spelling) is showing.

Being a Muslim myself, I was a bit disappointed at first in reading your question. However my mood very quickly changed as I read through the answers that were posted. It seems to me that you are far more ignorant yourself than the people (Muslims in general) you make out to be. I feel much at ease learning that people (at least those who have responded to your question) are far more objective and knowledgeable. Like everyone else....whether it be people of other religious beliefs or of cultures...Muslims too have good and bad amongst them...and thankfully as those answering your question have already pointed out...the bad seeds are less than 0.01% Cultural diversity is an opportunity for people to learn from and share one another's differences. ..and this act in itself makes for a much better world to live in.....

OK, do you even personally know any Muslims?
Did you know it was the Muslim community that tipped off the authorities that led to the arrest of the lastest terror plot suspects.
I hope you open YOUR eyes and see how wrong your question is.
The Muslim community wants NOTHING to do with these extremist groups.

what a silly question! to all muslims?? i mean, r you even aware of what you're sayin?? so you need to live in "peice" ha? do you even know that it takes non ignorant, non RACIST people (unlike you) for the world to live in your so called "peice"!
hello! wake up dude! do you even know anythin abt who we are?? how we live?? what islam is??
prejudice is awful! so if ur brother is a sex addict who spent 10 years in prison then u should be a pervert too! is that how u r thinkin?? u really should be sorry for yourself!
Sadly, it is you, and people who think like you, who need to be educated, coz otherwise, no justice, no peace, ever!
So you say you do not take offense to our culture?? you need to rethink abt your question then!
for your information, islam and terrorism are not connected the way you think they are! not all muslims are terrorists! not all muslims despise your culture! in fact, we 've had our share of western culture, we visit your countries, we go to the movies, we buy english books, we shop, we go to concerts we hang out, we listen to your music... bla bla bla... So spare us time, and try to get urself educated first and have your share of our culture!
some extremists of all cultures, even yours, might be terrorists, but not all muslims are terrorists! learned your lesson??
