The vast majority of Muslims are just normal people who want to live, love their family and not kill anyone. The radical crazy people give the majority of Muslims a bad name.

My concern is the silence of good Muslims, in comparison to the loud roar of the extremist. The argument that " All Muslims are not bad" is one of convenience, most people understand that every Muslims is not intent on commit in murder. The problem is that the Islam has been for non-Muslims are secret, a religion, a people very misunderstood. Now that the flood gates have opened the only debate it Jihad and the duty to engage in it. It minds are to be changed it is up to the followers of Islam to educate outsiders and police murderers.

There are so many religions in the world are living peacefully together but only Muslims are fighting with people of other religions. I have observed that when Muslims are in minority in they are good people but when they are in majority they became violent and dangerous. Good Muslims should think over it otherwise all Muslims where condemned in the world

Not going into anyone's mosque, I have no time to stand in the rear and be treated like a second class human being because I have a vagina.
However, I have broke bread with Muslims and laughed and joked and fellowshiped with them. Still, I have no doubts that those same individuals would kill me on the spot if one of their religious leaders ordered them to.
Healthy fear of Muslims, but trying to be open minded. The religion can be convoluted to meet the needs of whomever, and there is much reference of violence towards unbelivers in Islam. It's not the people, it's the interpretations of the Koran and the zealotry that can ensue that makes me fear Islam.

An intelligent person will not think that all Muslims want to wipe non-Muslims out. But it's sort of hard not to think that many do....when a videotape is made threatening Americans to either turn to Islam or be destroyed.

I once lived in Saudi Arabia and the claim that Muslims are out to murder all non-Muslims is so ridiculous that anyone who makes that claim reveals himself to be an ignorant imbecile.
Muslims are little different than Jews or Christians except they try harder to practice what they preach. I have never been treated more courteously or kindly than when I was living in Saudi Arabia.
And I have traveled most of the western world, including the Middle East.

yes i have
but just look how muslims (not all i know) have re acted to the popes words, they have threatened him with death. Now, if they had replied in words, maybe voicing the role of catholicism in history using religion as holy ar, the crusades etc, then it would have been a valid response, but to threaten him with death, is just stupid.
Of course, it is not all muslims, i realise this, but it is in the name of islam that they do this, therefor this is why the islamic comunity is targeted with being blamed for these attrocities, because of these **** heads who do this. The people who do this, get their voices heard.
The problem is, is how does it get stopped, these terrorists have declared war in the name of islamic jihad. there will be no end to this for centuries i reckon.
What a crap world we live in, why cant we all just live in peace

Yes I have. I worked for one. They're very nice until the word Jew comes up and then bloods drips out of their eyes and fangs grow out of their mouth and you wish you were wearing a flack jacket.
I also know Jews and I've NEVER gotten that same reaction for the word Arab.
Hitler or Germany, that's another story. I've gotten some violent reactions from those words with Jews.

No, I have never thought this, we have Muslim neighbours, my kids used to play with two Libyan Muslim children, they used to come over to our house and my kids to theirs and my husband has a good friend from Palestine. They have always been friendly to us. My husband worked in Libya and enjoyed his time there, by the way he is Maltese and Malta has close ties with Libya.
