Answer 1

It sounds like whoever is practicing this religion is on Satan's side. Sorry, but suicide is the unforgiven in God's eyes. Also, violence, hatred, and murderous suicide is very much so the work of the devil. Thank you.

Answer 2

STOP PICKING ON MR. BUSH!!!!
Jokes apart , if u r referring to Islam U r gravely mistaken cos it gives permission to defend yourself ONLY when attacked!
Even in war it is forbidden to commit suicide.If it taught Hatred why would it forbid its followers from harming women & children even in war?
Just B'coz some terrorists have Muslim names it doesn't mean they follow Islam to the core.Most of them r simply misled youths.
This is the case in Iraq etc .They attack westerners b'coz they believe westerners have encroached upon their motherland.Its just a freedom struggle with a wrong vision
The article given by Unclesam111 is a misleading one.Anyone having doubt can check the Koran.The Ayats have been cut deliberately to give a wrong impression about Islam.If u still dont believe then u can check them & u will find that it says:
"WAGE BATTLE AGAINST THEM ONLY AFTER THEY ATTACK YOU"

Answer 3

all religion is exclusive, so in a way, all of the denominations are guilty of thinking they, and only they, are right. When you add the fear of death, and your immortal soul to that mix, you get people who will do anything to be saved...hate other religions, kill other people, violate others rights, you name it. Religion should be a private thing, between a person, and god. Those that wear it as a badge are the instigators. I don't blame the religion, I blame the flock...

Answer 4

Most religious doctrine is open to a certain level of interpretation
the bible and Koran have both been used to support pacifist beliefs and to justify war.
Who is interpreting the bible correctly the quakers or the Crusaders?

So may it is not the religion itself that is better or worse but the interpretation.

Answer 5

I think it is closer to Satan (if there is a Satan). I think ANY fanatical religion is more demonic than Godly (and that includes Fundamentalist Christians, Jews or Islamics), they become more like cults than a peaceful, loving way to live life.

Answer 6

I love how all these so called "experts" say that NO RELIGION teaches hatred, and incites violence, and glorifies murderous suicide. Let's take a look shall we???



IV.138: Those who believe, then disbelieve, then again believe, then disbelieve and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never forgive them nor will He guide them to the right way.


IV.92: And it does not behoove a believer to kill a believer except by mistake, and whoever kills a believer by mistake, he should free a believing slave , and blood-money should be paid to his people unless they remit it as alms; but if he be from a tribe hostile to you and he is a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (suffices), and if he is from a tribe between whom and you there is a covenant, the blood-money should be paid to his people along with the freeing of a believing slave; but he who cannot find (a slave) should fast for two months successively: a penance from Allah, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

XVI.8: It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, and if you (again return to disobedience) We too will return (to punishment), and We have made hell a prison for the unbelievers.

II.161: Surely those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers, these it is on whom is the curse of Allah and the angels and men all;

IX. 5-6: Kill those who join other gods with God wherever you may find them.

IV.76: Those who believe fight in the cause of God.

IV.74: Let those who fight in the cause of God who barter the life of this world for that which is to come; for whoever fights on God's path, whether he is killed or triumphs, We will give him a handsome reward.

VIII.39-42: Say to the Infidels: if they desist from their unbelief, what is now past shall be forgiven; but if they return to it, they have already before them the doom of the ancients! Fight then against them till strife be at an end, and the religion be all of it God's.

Not enough you say????
Perhaps Islam's central documents are a call to violence?

Then when the Sacred Months have passed, then kill the Mushrikûn (Jews - see V.82) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush.

But if they repent and perform As-Salât (Keep up prayer - Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât ( - pay the poor-rate), then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

WANT MORE?????

8.12: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.


47.4: So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates. That (shall be so); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have exacted what is due from them, but that He may try some of you by means of others; and (as for) those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish.

Here's something a muslim knows that you apologists don't...

"There may be moderate Muslims, but Islam itself is not moderate. There is no difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism. At most there is a difference of degree but not of kind."
-- Ibn Warraq, executive director of the Institute for the Secularization of Islamic Society

Since I Am not allowed the room for more, I suggest you apologists pick up a book & read for yourselves. Till then, kindly shut up.

Answer 7

Neither. The religion of this person is only an excuse. They are either crazy or power driven. If they believe God wants them to do these things, ask they to blow themselves up to prove their faith instead of having others do it. If their crazy, we have one less nut on the earth. If they are power driven they will have some religious excuse to stay alive.

Answer 9

Religion not money is the root of all evil today, religious fanatics of all faiths are taking this world and the human race into oblivion, so who cares.

Answer 10

for my section i think of it rather is as much as the British voters to end the BNP with the help of not balloting for them and the accountability falls to the media, campaign communities and different events to warn the British human beings of what the BNP is (racist, fairly fascist) and to concentration on the twisted ideals on the heart of the party. If the BNP wreck the regulation interior the mean time the police will cope with them the comparable as with everybody else.
