If there is good and bad in every race and religion, then how can we judge every Muslim by the action of most?

Question

I know some American Muslims and ive met some on line too that are aginst war. I think we judge these people by the actions of their government sometimes?
by the way....yes I am also very angry about what their government has done!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Yes, you're right. Just like when a few crazy people bombed abortion clinics and classified all Christians as killers and bombers.
It is just when people hear of such atrocities it really angers them.

Answer 2

Well it is not the negative opion on your side but also on our side mainly on Palestine despute because most of your governments
are supporting Israeli for its self defense giving them arms and ammunition.Now problem is that west see every thing through Islam but the real problem is political since Muslim have not been given the right of self determination so they have become militant some extremist so called Muslims have taken out weapon but instead they have caused more problems.Most governments
of muslims are not their own governments but imposed governments .Now there are two groups in Muslims one extremist and other moderate.The extremist have find one way of solution is just to fight for their rights through civial war
moderate people think differently from that they say that extremist dont represent the true picture of Islam we should solve problems by peace. The UNO is a non functional organistion that is unable to solve conflicts between countries because of VETO power .If you cannot solve issues like these you cannot stop terrorism i_e Kashmir,Sirilanka,Ireland, palestine and a list of it.The reason behind terrorisim is unjustice!@! THere cannot be peace without justice

Answer 3

Of course all muslims aren't bad, that's silly. The thing is, they complain about being blamed for the atrocities of the militants, yet they do absolutely nothing to try to stop it. Can you imagine if it was christians blowing people up and we didn't stop it? This is not the middle ages, if someone of your religion is murdering people, then its your obligation to try to stop them. I've never even seen a protest by muslims against the terrorism, can't say that about christians, we make a lot of noise when theres something we don't believe in going on by us, look at all the protests against our government, rightly or wrongly. We, at least, try to do something.

Answer 4

Your question should be the "actions of some" the majority of Muslims do not advocate violence. It is true the the use of militant Jihad is growing but Islam is the largest religion on the planet and the people who use violence make up a very small portion

Answer 5

You just answered your own question. How can we judge every Muslim by the action of MOST? So you are saying MOST have bad actions. I have to agree.

Answer 6

I don't think we judge the individual muslims, but we do not approve of the tenets of the Islamic faith. Look at the uproar over what the Pope said, they are threatening suicide bombers, they got an apology but said it wasn't enough.

The religion lends itself to extremist views and actions.

Answer 7

People should not judge every Muslim by the actions of some. There are extremists in every religion who perform acts of violence in the name of their god.

Answer 8

You tell me, what other religion do you see or hear going around bombing up any where else and saying this is in the name of Allah mind you not God. Because God is a God of love not HATE!!!!

Answer 9

which government are you talking about when you are talking about the government of the American Muslims, they are Americans are they not?

Answer 10

because the actions that the majority are taking is all in their bible the quran, so that is what they believe and the ones that live in america is deceiving u, they are afraid that if they say they agree then they will be the target for some1 to murder
