Can someone please explain?

Question

If Islam is a peaceful, non-violent religion, then why is it that muslims have been responsible for more death and destruction in just the last 5 years than the entire Crusades?

Answer 1

islam is a peaceful, non-violent religion. The ones who are violent are the ones that bend their religion to their own incoherent beliefs and make themselves martyrs by blowing themselves up.

Suicide and murder is a sin in the Quran as is in every other religion (except for satanic occultism maybe hehe).

I have met many peaceful muslims and they are extremely ashamed about these ppl claiming to share the same belief as them. Be careful, dont give all religions stereotypical labels...thats how ignorance and hatred starts in the first place.

Answer 2

There are extremists in all religions. They are the ones that "pervert" the ideals taught in the base religion and twist it until it is not recognizable. As you look to persecute the Muslim community for their beliefs and for the actions of the militant morons, let us try to remember all of the religious cults around america that have sprung up in the last few decades... Most of whom claim to be led by the christian god. And as long as you wish to count the bodies to see who has more blood on their hands, I would like to remind you of Adolf Hitler. Not forgetting the first two statements I made here, he was cleansing the earth of all the members of the race that were responsible for the killing of christ...

Personally, I think that all religions should be left behind, and the human race should unite as one regardless of color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc. and we should embrace reason rather than an archaic ideology of a god, no matter what he or she is the god of. Let us remember... Reason and logic never killed anyone.

Answer 3

It is sad that ppl have been using religion as a form to justify for their actions. These radical muslim in my opinion is afraid of changes surrounding them. Islam itself is a peaceful & condemns violence. I know cos i myself is a muslim.

Because of these ppl, others have a different & miscept understanding of what being a muslim is all about. That is really sad. Lets hope that all this violence will end soon.

Answer 4

And can someone please explain what the deal is with the discriminating, racist questions being asked about muslims.

Has anyone thought to give a moment for the muslims who lost their lives on September 11 that weren't actually part of the suicide bomber contingency?? We didn't hear anything about the muslims who were working in the world trade centre and died innocently. How about a moment of consideration for them?

Answer 5

Most Muslims are non-violent; however, there is this fanatic fringe that is in the midst of a Jihad that threatens world peace. They must be stopped.

Answer 6

it is not admitted but we are in the six year of the 13th crusade...Muslims by the Koran, states that Muslims must convert the infidels to Islam or kill them

Answer 7

It's not about Muslims or a "war on terror". It's REALLY about THIS!...

Answer 10

The following document is a compilation of condemnations of the September 11 attacks. The articles, press releases and news clippings represent a sample of worldwide Muslim condemnation of these attacks and of terrorism in general. Most of the documents contain only excerpts of these condemnations. A document containing the full text of these condemnations would be much longer.

Included in this document are a few interviews and articles written by Muslim scholars refuting Bin Laden’s theology and use of religion to justify attacks on innocent civilians. The purpose of including these articles is to show that Muslims went beyond just condemning the attacks. They also took and continue to take active steps to combat extremism and the exploitation of religion for violent political purposes.
