Can you live in peace?
Look, at your history before your faith was politicized by religious leaders interested in their own power. Be honest, hate is what gives them purpose and a livelihood. So how long will you allow yourself to be manipulated?
What is wrong with a multi-cultural society where people are accepting of others? Are you saying that your faith will not allow that, or your leaders will not allow that? Can you accept the free expression of religion in your society?
What do you need to do create peace and moderation in your society?
I'm sure the West would be happy to not interfere, if you could do that. The dialogue must change, so Americans and other countries do not have to fear of more terror coming from your countries.

which Muslims are you talking about ????? in the middle east or in Africa , Scandinavia , Europe , USA or in Asia ...
Muslims are not a race and they not one country ... it is a huge amount of ppl following one faith .
as for America and the other places ... our US government created and nurtured terror , trained al queada to fight commies ... US government is not afraid of terror , because it created it .. but our government is only in need to occupy other nations to use up their natural resources and make sure they are always under control.. but alas , all the plots back fired , and now ppl like myself " a Jew in the US " has the chance to learn more about Islam and what it represents .. to think over our government policy and know who is the enemy
what our governement is doing is basicly trying to destroy anything or anyone who has a different way of thinking and is to annahilte those who faith in something different than that of the US ... the core reason is to invade and to distort other ppl's history and wipe it off the earth.. i am sorry we came to this point , when we used to suffer from the brits and others who wanted our voices unheard , i am sorry to see america the land of the free , usurping others the rights for them to be free

Dawn C, I am quite hurt by your answer "Are they nuts or something?"
I believe no-one has truly understood Islam, for Islam is a religion of peace an unity. Even the word Islam means: Surrender to peace. So what does that mean???? A Muslim is a person who has surrendered to peace. Also what do you mean, "Look at your history"? Islam, Christianity, Judaism... These three major religions have a very rich and interesting histories.
Muslims don't need anything to create peace in our society and the world... It is questions like these, media an stereotypes who make it seem as though Muslims don't want peace, and will never accept unity. Muslims all over the world protest in order that THERE IS peace in the world.
Islam is not a manipulating religion, other societies etc, are the ones who are manipulating...

You need to review history. There was a time when Islam encouraged science and peace, albeit through force of arms. On the whole, however, their religion keeps getting in the way of evolving away from violence. As long as Islam must rule the state, it will always be so.
The culture of the middle east, which requires violent response to violence, is what keeps the kettle boiling. In the west, we have developed a tradition opposing violence. Try to find the Islamic equivalent of Gandhi.

Muslims and Christians lived together for years, most of the time they were on good terms, there was the crusade and now extremists are terrorizing the world, Islam is not the only threat for the world, there is a terrorist in every religion, can you guarantee that there would not be another Hitler? or another country that is hit by Americans with nuclear bombs and suffer for years to come,
Islam is not recent and it never threatened you or your countries for many years, times change and people change, Muslims are peaceful but there are extremists among them and there is nothing we can do about it. and here comes the multi-cultural society that you are talking about, when you learn to accept Muslims and accept that only 1% of them are extremists and there is nothing we can do about it, if Bush himself was not able to catch Bin Laden and to stop his terror , how can the Muslims do it, so, stop saying that Muslims can change the extremists they never can!!!!!!!!!!

They do not know the meaning of freedom and democracy. Most live is repressive societies with Tyrants as leaders. No human rights. Only qualifications most have is Islam. Its easy to blame the West for everything bad happening in their lives. They do not have channels to vent out their discontent like free press. If a Muslim even suggests a hint of criticism of their religion they are beheaded for Blasphemy.

Muslims lived with Christians together in Peace long time ago.
Muslims were the only nations that were kind toward the Jewish when Europe used to humiliate them.
what do you know about Islam except your misguided lies?
who killed native Americans?
who started the World war I & II?
who gave WMD to Saddam to use it against civilians?
who gave Israel techniqual weapons to use it against Civilians?
who supported Bin Laden and Al-Quda? (while in Fact Ben laden was kicked out from his country because of his suspecious terrirst act)
who is occuyping Iraq now, and stealing its oil?
who is trying to terrorising the middel East?
who creates terrirsim?
we muslims live in peace. 9/11 is done by a group of criminals who believe in their own idea. but occupying Iraq is done by authorities who carry the name of their country, what a shame.

Don't listen to the brainwashed idiots who listen to how bad Islam is in the press. They think they "know." They are listening to the media about Islam. Last time I checked, the media is run by Judeo-Christians intent on destroying Islam. Is it any wonder they are trying to promote such a bad image of your faith?
