We muslims believe in ONE god ALLAH who has no SON and no ASSOCIATES. We believe in peace and killing of another human being is a SIN and purnishable by HELL FIRE. Often the western media project Islam image by associating it with terrorism. This is the picture imposed on the minds of their audience. Islam has a proven record of tolerance throughout its history. Islam coexisted peacefully with Judism and Christianity in its proximity. Like any other community on earth, Muslims are allowed to defend themselves if attacked. If you think we Muslims are sinful by practising our religion and way of life on earth - Why don't you let your god purnish us in heaven / dooms day. Is your god weak to do so? Why do you take unjustified initiative to attack us and our ways/culture? Why do you think we should drink alcohol, practice sex outside wedlocks, get rid of our head covers (hijabs), expose our women faces (even undesirably by a woman by her self), etc - To demonstrate freedom? We say NO NO.

You actually made some good points in this question, unlike your other two questions. However, aren't you contradicting yourself when you state 'We believe in peace and killing of another human being is a SIN and punishable by hell fire.' If it is a sin to kill another human, then why are there so many Muslims involved in 'terrorist' activities that involve killing so many people? Just a thought.

Guess what? We also say NO, NO!
In our civilization we don't suffer silently, waiting for heinous crimes to be punished by God. Our wrath comes first, but God's wrath is far more severe...indeed like a "Hellfire" (one that doesn't include 72 virgins).
Inducing your children to blow themselves up and murder innocent civilians? Trying to hide a bomb in your 6-month old baby's bottle, intending to kill the baby and as many others as possible? Kidnapping and beheading an innocent journalist, all the while screaming like a bloodthirsty hyena?
All this, while praising Allah? Tell me again that I'm supposed to be tolerant of these actions, silently condoned by radical Islamists all over the globe? I say that these extremists are blasphemers who besmirch Allah's holy name more than any silly cartoon. And so should you.
Instead, you are outraged because Americans are free to drink alcohol and let their women show their faces and go to school?
Where is the outrage and condemnation by yourself, and by your spiritual leaders of the acts of the murderous lunatics in your midst?

And you've just given the reasons why we stay away from Islam.
You Muslims look at opinions as attacks and use that as an excuse to do deplorable things.
Example -- the caricature of Muhammad. You Muslims demonstrated and caused damage over a CARTOON! Yet, you sit back silent when your women are murdered by their relatives -- HONOR KILLINGS.
Something is seriously wrong with your way of thinking.

"Islam coexisted peacefully with Judism and Christianity in its proximity." Really? That was always the case?
Maybe you can explain to me how the Muslim conquest of foreign lands such as Spain and the Byzantine Empire was "peacefully" carried out?

Live your religion anyway you wish to. I am not the Holy Spirit and I would never presume to do His work. Glad to hear that you are so peaceful. That must mean that you abhor the kidnappings of Israel Citizens, that was the main catalysis for the last Israeli military action in the Gaza and Lebanon? Jim

And how many places in your quran does it say to slaughter the infidel?Yet you say yours is a religion of peace. How many times does it say to kill women who disagree with men? How many places does itsay men have more rights than women simply because they have a penis? Islam must be stopped. period.

Oh, I'm a patient person. I am waiting for God to do all He has promised in His own timing.

Those who believe what you posted are going to hell. And by the way.... I did not judge them, the word of God did, and I did not condem them to hell, they did it to them sleves.
