Do you view all Muslims as a threat?

Question

Or do you think that the majority of Muslims are getting a bad name due to "people" like Bin Laden?

For Muslims: Please look at the answer from jbbrant1 and let us know what you think.

jbbrant1: I'm not picking on you. You went into some interesting detail about Islam and I would like to get some feedback.

Answer 1

I definitly do not think muslims are a threat to the world I think that Bin laden and other terroist groups are just notfollowing the religion properly. Like it says in the Quran that you cannot kill anyone unless that person harmed you or your family. I think that that whole "All muslims are terroists" is just stupid somepeoplejust do not understand.

Answer 2

Well, yes, many are a threat for what they believe in-- which is a different view from what was originated or developed by the Muslim nations long ago.

They believe that all who does not seek Allah, must die-- and the Qoran was rewritten to make every generation thereafter, be known to this belief.

Many of course cannot be viewed as terrorist, but 75% of the Muslim population actually feel that Americans are violating thier religious laws and practices simply because we do NOT believe in the Muslim religion.

Answer 3

I find that there are three kinds of Muslims:
(1) This group sees no threat from the western cultures, and ways. They believe we can tolerant each other, and they even believe they can be a positive influence on the west.
(2) This group finds many problems with the west and they see the west as a threat to their culture and values, but they also believe in taking the good things from the west (democracy and technology) where they are applicable.
(3) This group finds that the west has nothing good to offer. They blame the west for all of their problems. They believe their cultures and values are involved in a struggle for survival. They are willing to act as crusaders for their faith.

The problem is with the third group. The solution is a philosophical one -- changing minds, changing concepts and widespread dialog. They need to see the west as having values and culture that is not threatening.

Answer 4

All Muslims should be viewed as a threat to the entire world. Look around you, open your eyes-who are the ones bringing terrorism on the world-yes, it all comes down to one kind-the Muslims-theyre All fanatics, brainwashed to think that they're doing good by killing-peaceful? the koran-they preach about peace and then go and blow up everything and everyone in sight so that they can go to heaven-they need to be expunged so the world can once again become the peacefule place it used to be!

Answer 5

I don't view all Muslims as a threat. They have been given a bad name.
I still don't believe the Muslim community does enough to stop extremism. According to a recent poll in Britain 32% of British Muslims see Western society as immoral and wish to bring it to an end.
It's hard to trust people like that no matter how liberal you wish to be.

Answer 6

I think alot of it is deserved and I will leave this little tidbit for you to think over...don't get me wrong...I believe in religious freedom, just don't like the thought of it becoming a license to do what you want to anybody who doesn't belong to your sect.. Can a devout Muslim be an American patriot and a loyal citizen?

Consider this:



Theologically, no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon

god of Arabia.



Scripturally, no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of

Islam and the Quran (Koran).



Geographically, no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which

he turns in prayer five times a day.



Socially, no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to

make friends with Christians or Jews.



Politically, no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual

leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of

America, the great Satan.



Domestically, no, Because he is instructed to marry four women

and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).



Religiously, no. Because no other religion is accepted by his

Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)



Intellectually, no. Because he cannot accept the American

Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes

the Bible to be corrupt.



Philosophically, no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran

do not allow freedom of religion and expression.

Spiritually, no. Because when we declare "one nation under

God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER

referred to as our heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in

the Quran's 99 excellent names.

Democracy and Islam cannot co - exist. Every Muslim

government is either dictatorial or autocratic.



Therefore after much study and deliberation....perhaps we

should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country.

Because:

They obviously cannot be both good Muslims and good

Americans. Call it what you wish...it's still the truth. If you find

yourself intellectually in agreement with the above, perhaps you

will share this with your friends. The more who understand this,

the better it will be for our country.

Answer 7

That are getting a bad name due to people like bin Laden. Christianity is getting a bad name due to people like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. Every religion, every organization, etc. is going to have few bad apples. Unfortunately, it is the bad apples that get all the attention.

Answer 8

I think that the majority of muslims are getting a bad name because of the media and war mongers like Bush. Most muslims are workers, students, families, farmers, and regular people who are brainwashed by the islamic versions of media brain washing etc.

Answer 9

I think muslims are getting a bad name because of people like Bin Laden because every group has a few bad apples.
