do you think Bush's comment about "Islamic Extremist" made this into an all out religious war?

Question

At first I hated when the Islamic people(Osama) kept saying we are against their religion...and we are trying to kill all Muslims and the faith of Islam...To me(at the time) I was angry because Thier intentions were based on the USA hating the Muslim and Islam religon...until I heard Bush call out the faith of Isalm...now I can understand what they are saying...Please don't get me wrong...but I think he could have left out the religious factor and kept to the word terriost

John R, i understand you ...and you have a point...i just wish he would have let them by themselves call it that....and we make sure no one would ever think we care about the religion....Just keep it as "Terriost"

Answer 1

Well im muslim and heres how I see it:

Osama is not a muslim anyway he is killing innocent people for no reason at all and then screaming JIhad, thinking if he labels what he is doing as jihad it will make it all ok and muslims will support him because it's Jihad and Jihad is allowed in Islam, and I must say he is bloody well clever because he's right by labeling all the crap hes doing as Jihad many uninformed muslims, who have not learned about their religon and do not know the meaning of words such as jihad, will believe him when he says I am not killing innocent people I am just practising Jihad just as many non muslims believe when he says the same,

Now this is where the whole racism thing comes in to play, the muslims that know the meaning of jihad and know that Jihad is NOT a holy war as many people mistake it to be but is infact only occur when someone comes to a muslim trying to provoke a war the muslims must first try to verbally sort it out talk about it rationally and not let it get as far as a war, if the opposing countries start to use weapons on the muslims THAT is when u are to carry out Jihad and even when jihad is carried out u must follow the rules of jihad and two of the main rules of jihad in this case are 1) u are not allowed to hurt any plant or animals on purpose and 2) u are not allowed to so much as scratch a civillian on purpose let alone murder! So the muslims who do know the meaning of Jihad when they hear non-muslims talking and saying things like oh muslims believe in holy wars they are tought to kill infidels by their god they are violent murderous people etc It is then that these muslims begin to think hang on these people are against us they are racist towards us they want us all killed (for examole I typed in muslim in yahoo the other day and I hate all muslims and Kill all muslims came up as the most popular searches under muslim) so for the muslims who think they are hated by everyone and are wanted dead u can see where they are coming from.

As for the Bush thing well I have never liked bush, he often sticks his head ib where it doesn't belong I mean for example this whole thing with israel he did not need to get america involved in it he could have kept the americans out of it and maintained a bit of peace for his country bu no he just couldnt help himself, now things such as that really annoy me about him. but heres the thing him and osama are just as bad as eachother, I mean osama killing hundred of innocents claiming it jihad when it clearly not jihad it just him a bloodthirsty freak who gets some sot of kick out of killing innocent people, and then theres Bush a supid leader who goes to war again killing hundreds of innocent people claiming his doing it to liberate the country first of all how stupid is that he is going to war with the country and killingpeople in it so he can liberate those very same people and secondly he clearly wasnt going to war for liberation either he was goin to war for oil, so u know those two are just the same to me and I wait eagerly for the day osama drops down dead!!!!!

Answer 2

The liars would like you to believe that Bush caused this, but how many times do we need to be reminded of the intentions of Islam?
It has always been Muslims who tried to bomb the WTC...multiple times.
It has always been Muslims that hijacked planes, bombed embassies, murdered Jews and Christians just because of their beliefs.
No one else is doing it...just them.
According to Islam, you cannot live in harmony with Jews and Christians. It's all in the Quran. This is why they don't even allow Bibles in their country. It is against the law to own a bible there. Forget about opening a church of another religion.

The difference today is that the Muslims are richer, more powerful, more technologically advanced and smarter than they ever were. Now they have the capability to do what they've wanted to do all along.
The only thing that has stopped them from attacking Israel on a full scale was the UN. Now that they are more powerful, you will see more organized attacks against the world.

So, the Muslims made this a religious war, not Bush. By the way, the terrorists are not the extremists. The peaceful Muslims are the extremists. The terrorists are following the Quran just like they're supposed to.

Read "Who is this Allah" by GJO Moshay.
He is an ex-Muslim who exposed the truth of Islam.

Answer 3

For the record, President Bush said "Islamic fascism."

While its true the War on Terror does seem to target specific people, (Muslim men of fighting age) moderate Muslims understand our need to combat oppressive regimes that are sponsoring terror. That is why every time we go over to the Gulf region, we find Muslim countires that are willing to allow us to have bases and use their air space.

So the Q becomes; why do they aid us in fighting their fellow Muslims? The answer is because these fascist Muslims are an embarrassment to the rest of the moderate Muslim community and are themselves targets for terrorists. (Saudi Arabia especially)

Did President Bush make it a holy war? No, he only called out a violent sect within a religion that is causing the global problem of terrorism. More Muslim countries (like Lebannon) need to stop sympathizing with radicals and start adopting serious anti-terror law.

Answer 4

Extemists, terrorists whatever term you may use, does not make a difference. Remember these people hate those that do not believe as they do or live better than they do. This area of the world and some of the people in it (yes the extremists) have been fighting religious/holy wars since the days of Moses. So words did not make it a religious war, they percieve it as such.

Answer 5

first of all the crap that the unknown person wrote abpout islam is absolute rubbish!!!
the fact that the muslims were the 1 who bombed wtc is still NOT PROVEN!!
this war is not AGAINST ISLAM ITS AGAINST ISLAM MY RELIGION!!!!!!
tell me hoe come evry bombing before 9 11 was not a muslim attrocity???
all of a sudden evrything that goes wrong is becuz of muslims
the word Holy war is nevrrr mentioned in Quran or the hadith,the word is jihad which means to strive or struggle it could be struggling by writing a book about islam ,by clearing some doubts about islam etc
today if muslims are frustrated is because in a span os 5 yrs 3 muslim countries hav been invaded
its rubbish!!
i just hate BUSH

Answer 6

The Islamic Extremist are fighting a religious war.
They are fighting it world wide.
They make attacks in Russia as well as Indonesia.

They hate America for supporting Israel and they accuse other nations of suppression, so they can be violent.

Answer 7

First of all it was a religious war before Bush ever made his statement. The Islamic radicals have long been in what they see as a Holy War, a religious war.



I just wonder what took Bush so long to finally say what it really is

Answer 8

there is 2 different types of Muslim people basically I'm Muslim but im not all into my religion neither is my family so i don't really believe in Islam that much like some other Muslim people.

Answer 9

that's the comparable reason absolutely everyone fights - "we are diverse from you." faith places an excellent section in it. Israel is in actuality Jewish, Gaza is in actuality Muslim. This conflict has been occurring for hundreds of years. purely a diverse section. i presumed Israel became above the form of assaults they have been doing at the instant. Over seven hundred all human beings is ineffective in basic terms over the previous few days. i assume no longer. Gaza's hardly harmless the two.

Answer 10

Osama was created by the CIA.

9/11 was a self inflicted wound

it dates back over 150 years maybe more.
