Answer 1

cry me a river?

"I have not heard Muslim leaders come out and condemn those Muslims who commit mass murder in the name of their God. If they are truly relegion of peace this is the time for them to speak."

The pope was right to say what he has said and
for such a peaceful religion the followers of Islam have a tendency to use “the threat of violence” when they don’t like what they hear.

If Muslims were as quick to publicly condemn the suicide bombers who cowardly kill and maim in the name of Islam, then maybe we'd start taking other things they whinge about more seriously.

Its ok for Islam to print, say and spread anti christian and anti semetic propaganda. As soon as someone writes a book, says anything or even draws a cartoon even remotely anti Islamic, the death threats and the bombings and the looting and sacking of embassies etc starts.

Here we go again! Dare to say anything which could be construed as criticism of Islam, and the usual bandwagon of vilification and hatred gets underway.

Why not wonder "why do people see us in this light; why do people say such things about us?" and seek to change perceptions?!

By giving the usual reaction, Muslims merely reinforce the stereotypical view - it perpetuates the vicious circle.
With all the ongoing crisis in the middle east, as far as I can see, the quote makes a valid point.

If Muslim world's anger can simply be aroused by a quote, it's probably time to get some anger management.

I am DEEPLY tired of the islamics throwing their hands up in horror every time someone even remotely criticises their religion, and yet they feel it is okay to savage anyone (figuratively and literally) that is not of their faith.

Tolerance works both ways; if they want non-islamics to accept them, then maybe they should try to accept that not every living thing wants to be a muslim.

'No real effort to understand Islam'. Oh boo-hoo-hoo. Since when was the onus suddenly on everyone else to understand Islam? People make judgements based on what they see and experience over time. What else is there to understand? Sounds like a spoilt teenager wailing 'no one understands me, I'm so special and unique'. Why doesn't Islam make more effort to understand why a fair number of people dislike it so much?

Instead of Muslims attacking the Pope on his statement, they should be stopping the terrorist groups etc. Why can Muslims sit back and say nothing about attacks in the west but shout with anger when someone questions there way of spreading Islam. Moderate muslims have to choose the sword or democracy there is no in between.
Simple question: Do records show that Mohammed did say something along these lines? Given how he behaved, the answer is probably yes.

Yet again, Muslims are trying to rewrite their own violent history, shutting down any *factual* discussion of history by pretending to be offended rather than countering arguments with facts and getting us to give up our own valuable freedom of speech.
I am not surprised that the Muslims are complaining, all they do. Even historical quotes seem to ruffle there feathers. Yet when they say anything about Christianity or the West we just sit there and take it.

They can only dish out criticism not take it.
How about all the scum that rant and rave on our streets about how evil the West is and openly rejoice in the events of 9/11, retract all their statements?

Once again the Muslims/Islam are having another cry about some words someone has said. This shows how weak Islam is as a religion, say or draw something and they get upset BORING. My faith and beliefs in my own religon transend any petty words or drawings....
Time for Islam to grow up and become part of the world community that we live in....

He was mentioning an historical fact. Islam is the only world religion who's so called "prophet of peace" spread his word by the sword. Did Jesus or Buddha ever take up arms and resort to violence? No. Any religion that leaves room for interpretation of violence, justifies suicide bombing and advocates the repression of women cannoty be viewed as a religion of peace. If Muslims wish us to view thier religion as peaceful then they need to learn tolerance of other views and stop their murdering.

Surely Islam's ridiculously disproportionate response to things such as this and the Mohammed cartoons will only tarnish Islam's image yet further?

For heavens sake. The muslims are upset AGAIN. Are these people really that childish and insecure that every single comment upsets them.
Wouldn't it be so nice to have even a couple of days out from this constant whingeing. What offends most here is that our lives are constantly dominated by this nonsense. Why don't these people grow up?

Answer 2

Who said it was alright? And since when did they belittle other religions?
They have had a few demonstrations, but it's hardly a rampage. Islam is the world's largest religion and covers many countries and several million people. OK some of these countries are very poor and badly educated. The badly educated people of our western countries also act badly.
I don't see that there is much wrong with burning effigies or flags. Sounds like a pretty healthy attitude to me. If I were an Iraqi or Lebanese I would be out burning the Stars and Stripes and the Union Flag (UK).
So, strike back? You already did.

Answer 3

Because it's islam.

Islam encourages infantile tantrums and acts of chucking toys out of the pram when one doesn't get one's way. It doesn't understand the word 'No'. It doesn't have the intellectual capacity for rational discussion and negotiation. It doesn't afford the same rights itself demands to those of other faiths. It is an arrogant, selfish and self-centered faith (if one can call it that), And, to answer your question, every piece of criticism of islam (constructive or otherwise) is construed as being offensive, racist, bigoted and such like.,

In short, I blame Mohammed.

No offence of course.

And have a pleasant day everyone :)

Answer 4

i'm a Muslim, and that i'm additionally a civilian who lives in a tranquil way of life. And this would come to amaze those people who're thoroughly brainwashed by making use of the media's stereotyping yet i'm no longer A TERRORIST! in fact, each and each Muslim brother and sister I actual have had even eye touch with are actually not TERRORISTS! we don't carry BOMBS IN OUR wallet OR HAVE PLANS TO break the international! The insulting ideas people have on my faith is carefully insane. i've got heard approximately 9/11 and each and all the time i think the could say 'would people who died relax in peace', and that i wish I had the flexibility to shelter it in a extra effective way somewhat than, like the non-muslim George Bush who demanded to drop bombs on a rustic with tens of millions of harmless lives which supposedly held Osama Bin encumbered. yet NO, it incredibly is seemingly no longer called terrorism by way of fact George Bush isn't MUSLIM! formerly people actual initiate making assumptions on a faith or nationality or subculture they have actual no connection with, they could actual take a step forward and question there own. For goodness sake, all i want to do is get via an afternoon without folk making their own conclusions that are in fact offensive to my ideals. Please men, think of outdoors the field somewhat than being spoon fed by making use of the media.

Answer 5

muslims are laboring under the false assumption that they are members of a 'real' religion, instead of being members of one of the largest cults in the world.

consider this--this pseudo religion claims the 'moon' as God, its chief prophet was both a murderer and a thief--not to mention the fact that he was a pedophile. how else could he marry aeisha when she was but nine years old?

their main method of recruiting members in the old days was to make war on a neighboring tribe or village, kill all the males, take the women and girl children as 'wives' and divvy up the property. nowadays, their pseudo religion targets the mentally feeble and the underclass for its members. people that are easily confused and even easier to brainwash.

that's why muslims hate all other religions. their phony holy book says to wage battle against all infidels until they are all converted or there is none left.

sheesh, what else is there to say?

Answer 6

You can't really expect anything else from them, its just what they do. But i don't think we should strike back by doing what they do. We should strive to get them the *beep* out of our countries and clamp down HARD (I'm talking as hard as a teenager with his first XXX video) on their religious freedom which just is the spreading of their propaganda.

They're too obsessed with Islam. Probably hitting their head on the ground 5 times a day during prayers makes them so angry.

Answer 7

They do not believe in freedom of religion. Have you heard stories about Muslims changing religions? No tolerance for a human's free will. I've meet a few, who claim that they have a death sentance/ hit mark on them for denying Islam.

Also seems that they don't believe in freedom of speech, and want to re-write history to only say good things about them. Sadly, when history is not studied and reviewed (mistakes, and acheivments), well, little growth occurs.

Hey, butt they're all for the rights of bearing arms.

Answer 8

Actions most often make the words become very hollow.. and they want to make islam the world's religion!!???

Answer 9

The muslim religion seems to generate hatred towards any non-follower (or infidel) - a great threat to our free society

Answer 10

""why is it that its alright for muslims to belittle other religions?""

Their Tikrit Village (moon) god DEMANDS it.
All must SUBMIT to that god before PEACE can come.
That is the excuse muslims use to call their religion
The Religion Of Peace! (Some Joke!)

Answer 11

AMEN, Your right, but since everybody is so afraid of hurting their feelings we have to put up with their nonsense.
