"By their fruits ye shall know them". . . Perhaps the words of current Islamic leaders can help us determine what is the truth about Islam . . .
In Iran, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei used the comments to call for protests against the United States. He argued that while the pope may have been deceived into making his remarks, the words give the West an "excuse for suppressing Muslims" by depicting them as terrorists. "Those who benefit from the pope's comments and drive their own arrogant policies should be targeted with attacks and protests," he said, referring to the United States.
(Hmmm. . . Let's see now . . . If someone "Depicts muslims as terrorists" then they should be "Targeted with attacks and protests." according to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ~~~~ I think I get the picture.)
Al-Qaida in Iraq and its allies said Muslims would be victorious and addressed the pope as "the worshipper of the cross," saying "you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose the 'jizya' tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (being killed by) the sword."
(Hmmm . . . "Convert or get your head cut off with a sword" ~~~I think I get the picture.)
"You infidels and despots, we will continue our jihad (holy war) and never stop until God avails us to chop your necks and raise the fluttering banner of monotheism, when God's rule is established governing all people and nations," said the statement by the Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of Sunni Arab extremist groups in Iraq.
(Hmmm. . . "Infidels and despots will get their necks chopped" ~~~ Yes, I am sure I get the picture now. )
Or it might be that the comments of a man forced them to do it . . .
So far, protests over the pope's comments have been smaller. However, there has been some violence: Attackers hurled firebombs at seven churches in the West Bank and Gaza Strip over the weekend, and a nun was shot to death in Somalia.
(Hmmm, Where in the qu'ran does it say to shoot unarmed women if they are not muslim? ~~~ Yes, the picture is completely clear now.)
All honest at heart muslims should hang their heads in shame and denounce such vile, evil men and their words.
Where is the overwhelming denunciation by the Islamic world for these Islamic leaders and for the murders of innocent men, women and children? Millions of muslims remain silent, as silent as those that have been murdered in the name of Islam and it's Allah.
Instead the world is admonished "Islam is a religion of peace".
Yes, the whole world gets the picture now. . . and Muslims worldwide have been "weighed in the balance and have been found wanting" because of their silence.

yes its true muslims aren't perfect im not going to deny that, those terroists are nutcases who need to be locked im the first one to admitt tht, they use islam to back up their actions but they are so wrong in doing so islam is all about peace and they are definatley not peacefull. I know people get fed up hearing islam means peace after everything tht is going on at the moment and seriously i get were ur coming from when u do but u have to understand that this small minority do not represent the 2 billion muslims in the world, dont u think things would be even worse at the moment if they did? Islam comes from the word salam which does mean peace the teachings of islam are peacefull these terroists scream jihad yet they do not even know the meaning of jihad, jihad means struggle, there are 2 types of jihad one is jihad with urself this is when u fight ur own inner deamons to make urslef a better person the 2nd is the most talked about jihad this jihad is only to take place when u can not sort things out using words even then u are not allowed to make the first attack if the other country attacks u then u retaliate with a real organized army however even then the rules of jihad are very strict u can not hurt any civilians at all, not only tht u can not kill any plants or animals during jihad either! At the moment some muslims have forgotten the meaning of islam themself if they no longer follow the teachings of islam then how will the world accept islam as a peacefull tolerant religon? I am a muslim a proud one at that, and i can tell u right now islam is a very tolerant and peacefull religon even if it may not seem like it at the moment.
I suggest u read saladin's biography if u want to see a true demonstration of jihad and islam.
and please research hinduism a bit better there are hindu extremists, last year some hindus in india burnt down mosques because some movie went aginst their beliefs.

Salam :) i'm a Muslim teen residing in Canada. I positioned on hijab alhamdullilah and it extremely is for the main section time-honored right here considering i stay in a great city with a great Muslim inhabitants. I do get the few ignorant comments and idiots in school inspite of the incontrovertible fact that who ask stuff like "yo have been given a bomb under there hahaha". however the toughest section is being diverse out of your human beings. Being a Muslim, events, alcohol dating boys wearing revealing clothing and so on is haram, and mutually as i do no longer prefer to do this besides, it extremely is somewhat awkward to could desire to describe why i do no longer do it to those that evaluate it purely a factor of being an adolescent and its ordinary to them. Muslims residing in Muslim international locations truthfully have it much less stressful whilst it includes installation in. And with foodstuff it extremely is somewhat complicated yet I continuously attempt to study the label if i'm uncertain of the factors. yet i does no longer wanna be the different faith no depend how perplexing it gets and how diverse i believe from all people else, i'm happy to be Muslim :)

what are ur thoughts abt these hindu terrorist organisations :
Shiv Sena
Tamil Tigers (Being Backed by India to rebel against Sri Lanka)
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
Vishwa Hindu Parishad
or sikh terrorist organisations :
Babbar Khalsa
Bhinderanwala Tiger Force of Khalistan
International Sikh Youth Federation [19]
Khalistan Zindabad Force [20]
Saheed Khalsa Force
Khalistan Liberation Force
Khalistan Commando Force
Khalistan Liberation Front
Khalistan National Army
Dashmesh Regiment
And if u point out to ISI, which is a State Secret Agency of Pakistan (Nothing to do with Islam), then how abt RaW, secret agency of india, they are doing the same thing as ISI.
Also, how abt the Gujrat Violence against Muslims, huh?
So, don't give me the crap that there are Islamic terrorist organisations only. look into ur collar 1st, before looking into others'. Islam in No way condone terrorist acts, and those who belong to such terrorist organisations, are Not amongst The True Muslims, and Islam can NOT be held responsible for acts of individuals or a group who kills civillians, as Islam deeply condemns such act.
Also, who was responsible for the martyred Babri Mosque?
As for ur question for justification on grounds of Islam, its coz everybody needs to satisfy others but esp. one's own consciousness for the sin (crime) he committed. so those terrorist organisation, try to make peace with their own conscience on grounds of Islam. But Islam Clearly Says :
"He who kills an innocent, it is as though he has killed the whole human-kind, and that he who saves an innocent, it is as though he has saved the whole humankind." (Not the exact translation, but it is there in The Holy Quran).
Peace to All.

You said that there are no Hindu extremists?My foot!What about the Tamil Tiger.The Hindu extremists burn mosque too.Take the Babri Mosque for an example.They burn down the Babri Mosque and made Hindu temple exactly on it ruin's.The media is trying so hard to cover all the non Muslim terrorism behavior and exposing only Muslim extremists behavior.That's a little not fair.In Uganda for example,the Christian extremists is always raping and murdering Muslim there,but do you know any report from the news that they do such thing?No.Because the western media is trying all they can to cover the non Muslim terrorism behavior.

You got a good point there. Maybe because they believe that non-believers of Islam are evil, therefore, they were enemies, which is very hypocrite and prejudice.

im a muslim and those people that are arrested are just radical nuts who believe that killing people who aren't Muslims is a holy act which isn't. that doesn't mean that all Muslims are terrorists contrary to popular belief
