Isn't that un-Islamic? Why is religion always so violent these days?

Islamic world leaders said nothing after 9/11..
Even "supposed" moderate leaders like Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal suggested that the attacks were an indication that the United States "should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stand toward the Palestinian cause," ...As if there can be any justification for the mass murder committed on 9/11..
Few Spiritual leaders stood up, and the few who did, their voices are silent now.
So, these animals can say or do whatever they like about our way of life and faith, but dont you dare criticizze theirs??!!
More specifically, will Westerners accede to a double standard by which Muslims are free to insult Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, while Muhammad, Islam, and Muslims enjoy immunity from insults? Muslims routinely publish cartoons far more offensive than the Danish ones. Are they entitled to dish it out while being insulated from similar indignities?
The deeper issue here, however, is not Muslim hypocrisy but Islamic supremacism. The Pope is asking a valid question. Why should he have to submit to their taboos?? .
KORAN QUOTES
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.89: They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.
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.
5.51: O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
No friends with non believers4.144: O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers; do you desire that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?
No friends with non believers
3.28: Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming.
Fight non-believers
9.123: O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).
Kill non-believers
4.89 : They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.
Killing Idolaters
9.5: So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Smite the neck and cut fingertips of unbelievers
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.
Smite the neck of unbelievers
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.
Severe Punishment for non-believers
22.19: These are two adversaries who dispute about their Lord; then (as to) those who disbelieve, for them are cut out garments of fire, boiling water shall be poured over their heads.
22.20: With it shall be melted what is in their bellies and (their) skins as well.
22.21: And for them are whips of iron.
22.22: Whenever they will desire to go forth from it, from grief, they shall be turned back into it, and taste the chastisement of burning.
Severe Punishment for non-believers

It's human nature. And if you think about it, it really makes sense. If you really believe something to be true, you don't want other people to walk in ignorance. For example, if you really believe that there has been a cosmic shift in the chemical structure of all bungie cords, and they weren't going to bounce any more, you would want to warn all the bungie jumpers you knew, and if they went to jump, you'd do everything you could to stop them. Muslims, Christians, even Buddhists and Hindus have the same thing: we really believe our way is the way that will cause the least pain and destruction to the individual when it's all done. Then when people criticize us and go about their own way anyhow, we do what we can to try to "help."

The Muslims i in my view be attentive to do no longer, yet i've got considered issues on the information superhighway that prepare some do. right here in this area they might't extremely respond with violence cuz they might't get at them. some do respond with a lot hostility however. i've got no longer discovered why they get so damaging, an outstanding variety of religious human beings have their faith criticized and that they are not getting so hateful approximately it.

Muslims Ideals are to change the whole world to that of islam at any cost, & their so called false Prophet mohammed, lead they astray. Muslims Denies The one TRUE GOD & That is the GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAACC, JACOB, THE TRUE GOD OF ISRAEL, To their Allah. That is why you see so much Muslims trying to cahnge the worl. They have already told AMERICA to change or else, I will never change to their ideals, even with a knife at my throat. Do you notice that the only way they know how to fight is with a bomb, or a gun, I would say if you put one of them against nother person in a fist fight, they would not know what to do. So they use bombs & guns, well that ok, we, The USA have bombs too, & guns to fight them.

Good question. I always wondered that myself. I also wondered why they can go around calling us Infidels and want to kill us and yet if anyone says the smallest thing wrong about their religion they go frickin ballistic. A bit hypocritical, don't you think?

they don't respond in violence, they probably just respond with anger because the sensible ones are seen as terrorists too, that's really unfair. put it this way...if you had a basket of apples and only one was rotten, would you throw all of them out or just the rotten one?

In many cases, Islam seems to lead people from delusion to psychosis - a warning what can happen when you abandon reason.

as far as i know, it's because they believe that they must kill those who disrespect Allah and if they die in the process they'll go to heaven and have 70 (less or more) virgins waiting for them. Personally i don't want to follows a god who wants me to kill people.

Radical Muslims do, not all Muslims. Generalizing is never a good idea.
