I believe their actions & reactions speak for themselves...Protests & defending yourself are one thing but to incite killing & rioting over comments made by anyone is ridiculous & moronic..

Firstly, quoting anything from a politician is not accurate. We all know that they will not say anything unless they have a benefit from it.
Secondly, Yes many muslim countries have severe laws, which can end up people getting killed. But they are run my dictatorship governments!!! What do you expect? All dictatorship governments, be it Jewish, Christian or Islamic, have messed up laws. It has nothing to do with the religion itself. It is an abuse of the religion. Islam was intended to be a religion of a person, not a country, so president of Iran saying we should attack, does not mean that is what Islam is about, infact it is stupid to say that.
There is no religion that teaches war. Islam is the only religion which has rules relating to war. War is only done as a last resort, when there is no other means of defending yourself. Because, quoting the Quran, it says, "Killing one human life, is as if you killed all of humanity". Means HUMAN LIFE, does not say muslim life, or christian life, says ALL LIFE. Also, incase you do have to go to war when all other means have been tried, then you can only fight men. Not women, or children or elders or disabled! I dont think any religion on the planet has this rule. At all times this rule applies in Islam. So saying its a religion of war is very inaccurate.
I am a muslim myself, And i denounce all terrorist actions done against the west. I absulotly hate those people who ldo this, and those people who think i am just like "them" (a terrorist).
Another point id like to make is, the muslims that usually are extreamists, if asked about the basics of Islam, they would not even know it. They would not have even read the Quran let alone anything else. They are just idiots with nothing else to do in life then focus hate on innocent people.

Absolutely Yes, yes, yes, Innocent people of the world may say no, but the Muslims are taking Jihadhi as an important commendment for muslim, which is a war against others nothing else. If a muslim more concentrate on the Jihadhi commendment he will create problem, if he follow all comendments of Islam he is creating peace and equal world. But in real world situation, due to the self interest, Jihadhi and its identy get popular in muslims which is dangerous to muslims for long term and short term for others. I am saying long term dangr to muslim, because when they more concentrate on Jihadhi they are losing to follow other commendments which have good things for world people, thereby the the actual reason for establishing that religion will dimnished and social movement occur towards the best world. If Islam is used for selfish purpose such as extremist actions, it is dangerous to them only (for long term).

I don't know. I have not read their holy book and do not intend to. What I do know is that various members of their clergy have called for the heads of nonbelievers. Remarks made by the pope and taken out of context were the excuse for rioting and the murder of a nun. Women and children were killed on 9/11 in an attack by Muslims on the US. In one of your answers you have a Muslim condemning these acts. This is the first time I have heard any Muslim condemn terrorist activity by Muslims. What I do know is that it seems as if the Muslim population is learning of hurting people who are not Muslim from someone somewhere.

at some instances in Koran , it is given very big importance of what others are saying.i think oil money and lack of occupation and envy for the other more literate and superior cultures is also playing a part.Islam teaches increase your population and expose your children to brutality which is intense and should not be a part of any peaceful religion.by what we have seen so far it seems they want destruction the way of their justice.in some Islamic countries you even get killed by law for looking at your opposite feminine gender.there are many females from Islamic religion in countries like USA and others where they have liberty to work and apply free will.what pope said is a mere historical fact and i guess the answer should have been based on historical facts and not on making gangs to rise against the christian supremacy.

Not all Muslims are promoting this.
The words of the Pope is now being used as another excuse for the Terrorist. Insults come on now, what about all the statements they make against US and the other free countries?
When is someone going to stand up for Freedom?

No more than certain far right wing Christian radicals.
The quote you use was in response to the single most imbecillic thing by any pope in recent history (other than comments about abortion).
The people to worry are the far right wing radicals from ANY religous tradition: Christian, Islmaic, Jewish, or what ever.
These people generall are ingorant in general, often illiterate, ignorant about their own religon, and live a life based upon fear rather than love. Love is the basic thing taught by ALL religons.
These poor, ignorant souls, are so bogged down in their fear, and fear generated hatred, that they cannot possiblity understand these teachings of love
That results in insane acts such as blowing up abortion clinics and flying airplanes into the twin towers. All the same.

wow.. never really thought of this myself... I'm a Christian tough.. But still, I don't think there would be any religion that teaching war instead of peace.. and I think Quran and The Holy Bible is not far different.. so I think Islam is not an evil religion or whatever, it's just the matter of the person personality, no matter what his/her religion is... I have Islam friends, and they're nice.

No, Islam is the word of Allah-subhan-al-avtala. There has been heavy misinterpretation of the Holy Quaran since many decades.
In the Holy Quaran, it is clearly stated that if a non-Muslim were to tell a Muslim that Islam is the wrong religion and belief in Allah is wrong then, the muslim should reply to the non-muslim that his god,whichever God the non-muslim believes in, and Allah-subhan-al-avtala is the same. Many of the Islamic moulvis & terrorists have misinterpreted Koran to support their selfish motives.
