They believe injustice is done against them by Christians and Israel therefore they seek to retaliate. Becoz many of them live in poor backward nations and therefore unable to afford the cost of conventional warfare, they seek unconventional ways to deal damage and get attention, through sucide bombings, sabotages and high profile crimes. Their willingness to sacrifice human lives to terrorize as their tribute to GOD is what makes it so selfish and condemnable.

I agree with Ann. There are Black Sheep in every religion. Just like there are Catholic priests who molest innocent children and make the good Catholics look bad, there are people who call themselves Muslim who do nothing but spread terror and do wrong. Not all Muslims condone their horrific actions.
I think a lot of it has to do with societal and political influences. They are brainwashed and insecure, hoping for a supposed guarantee into heaven, but the rest of us who have a clue about reality know that this is so opposite from what is considered right. I am a strong believer in having good role models to help you lead a better life and guide us into doing the right thing. There are a lot of Muslim political, social, and religious leaders who are not the good role models that these people really need. They are role models that use their influence for wrong.
I'm Muslim and in no way do I think what these terrorists are doing is right at all. I respect people of all religions and believe that as long as you've lived your life as a caring, kind, and above all good person to society, your family/friends, the less fortunate, etc, you will goto heaven. I really do not believe that our God is so cruel that He would send someone to hell for not being Muslim.
Back to the role model point I made earlier: When I lived in CA, I knew a great Iman who invited others from the community (Catholic, Morman, Jewish, anyone) to come to the mosque and learn that not all Muslims are out to destroy the lives of those who do not convert to our faith. He preached peace and respecting and understanding those who are different from you. I believe he was a good role model who taught us that peace is really what this religion is about, not the supposed "peace" a foolish terrorist gets when he bombs innocent people.

Hey JUN,
Over the millennium, more people have been killed in the name of God that God is probably really pissed.
(When I say God, I mean ALL of them!)
We don't trust/like/believe anybody that is different than ourselves.
It's a damn shame too! I'll bet if we were able to spend a day with someone whom we didn't like/trust/believe... we probably would change our view about a ton of people!
But then again, we would have to have an open and accepting mind... And for many, that is just too much to ask!
Imagine!

Why do some Muslims want to spread terrorism? Because the CIA and other Intelligence agencies (MI5, Mossad, ISI, etc) are paying them VERY VERY WELL to carry out these atrocities, so the West has the excuse they need to turn their nations -particularly the U.S. and Britain- into fully functional police states! And it's working...mind you, the Intelligence services have been playing this game for decades.

Probably for the same reason that some Christians bomb abortion clinics or Oklahomah City.
There are individuals of every faith that aren't willing to tolerate the existence of things that they believe are inconsistent with what they believe and are willing to resort to terrible acts of violence.
It's a sad fact of life people will always be murdered over unimportant things.

first it's not just a muslim issue but all the media focus is on muslims...there are catholic terrorist in ireland and hindu terrorist in shri lanka and both have been killing their thousands of innocent people for a long time...but they are not a threat to america so we don't see them flooding the news
i don't agree with terrorist because civilians should never be killed or live in fear of being killed...but with all the focus on muslim terrorist you would think that most terrorist are muslim....unlike the west that have a stable government most countries in the world from Europe to Africa, Asia and South America the people look to certain liberation movements for support because they are often ignored by there government...the thing is most of these countries are not a threat to america mostly because america doesn't need any of their natural resources....but the middle east that is rich with oil and just happens to be populated by muslims is a threat if they organize and turn on America and cut off oil supply to them...this would be a serious problem for the country that consumes the most oil
america is the one that is responsible because they want every one in the world to be like them and in return they are risking the lives of civilians in america and throught out the world...the U.S. calls on the world to support the fight against terrorist but groups like Hezbolla and Al Queda were never interested in the rest of the world just the U.S. and there puppets in the middle east Isreal....now so many countries are involved that shouldn't have been involved and their people are at risk
the U.S. doesn't respect anyone they have unfair boarder crossing rules with us Canada and they refuse the leave Canadian waters and they also tax our softwood and refuse to follow free trade agreements...Bush insults arabs and uses racist phrases on national TV...the worst the US treats arabs the more young men will join these groups like hezbolla...i could go on but there isn't enough space on here to do so....i would love to stop all this madness but i can't do it alone if you would like to learn anything else about what is really going on e-mail me
i know personally what it feels like to be mistreated because i am muslim...i'm at the point where i am afraid to travel because of my name and religion...so i understand why they would want to join groups like hezbolla...please do some research and don't follow the media you will see for yourself without anyones influence....ask yourself this "Why is N Korea telling the world they have nuclear weapons ready to go and Bush doesn't care?"
tell me what you think about that!!!

There are bad examples of every "religion".
Just one more reason I choose to emabrace spirituality, rather than try to place myself in a category w/ rules made up by another mere mortal...

Because some of them are filled with hate and anger and want to take it out on everybody else. Not even other Muslims are immune from terrorists.
