but burn churches when one person publishes a cartoon and muslim countries sever all ties with Denmark. They kill an innocent nun for what the pope says.

Where is their theory of individual acts at that time?

Muslims demand two standards. One for what they do to others, and a different standard for what others do to them. You have to remember that Muslims are still living in Medievel times. They wear beards and robes because Old Man Mo wore them, but when it comes to comfort- - - forget Mo. He rode nothing but a camel or donkey. Now big air conditioned Lincolns are used.
Mo lived in a tent, but tents are hot and stuffy in the desert sun, so forget Mo. Big modern air-conditioned palaces are a heck of a lot more comfortable.

They live in DENIAL. They refuse to see themselves as the parody they really are.
To mislimah, enaronia, babygurl:
The argument of terrorism by only a few is so old that moths fly out of it. It does not matter. Even if it were true, it is useless.
As said, as long as the "good"islams remain silent about the terrorist acts commited by the "bad" islams, the argument is as false and useless as used toilet paper.
There may be 1,000 million "good" islams and three "bad" ones. If the many "good" islams do nothing, at least should be quiet when these criticisms happen. They will go on until the many islams stand up and put an end to this.
Charles Manson is a criminal, no reason to mix religion here. He is no Christian. If anything, his guide is the evil.
I agree with judy_r8 and doby.
What they say is correct. Silence means approval

Timothy McVey was a so called Christian... he caused terror in Oklahoma... so that would make him a Christian terrorist ... right... so.... all Christians are Terrorist???? If you can proclaim that is just a rare event... then why can't muslims say the same. Furthermore, a terrorist can claim to be a religion... it doesn't mean they are. If one wants to do harm to a specific religion then what better way then this? because people are nieve and believe that which they are told with little facts. Muslim teach peace... not terror. Some perhaps are misguided. But I suggest you use caution when you place judgement upon a whole religious community for the acts of a few when you do not know what lies in their hearts.

Uh... those are other examples of individual acts there, buddy. And funny, both of those examples are *retaliations* to unjust individual acts that are against *all* Muslims.
Bad reactions? Yes. But individual reactions that hardly describe the entire group. There are Christian murderers too, y'know.
And hey, for good measure: Until ordinary Christians stand up and demand that the violence stops, they will be known as a religion of intolerance and hatred. Led by Fascists and terrorists. (An earlier comment, "Muslims" swapped for "Christians", and it stays a fair statement. Wouldja look at that.)

OK--------------what about the Oklahoma City bombing? The recent school killings? The Birmingham church bombing years ago? The Atlanta Olympics bombing? And I could go on and on.
The problem here is that these were individually done, and the media did not say ,''This is Christians against us''. The media does this against Islam. The media gives a warped sense of perspective.

Muslims say that because it is not in the Quran or in the teaching of Islam itself to commit terrorist act.
As for what the pope said that is morally wrong either way. I dont agree with any insult because in every group there are good and bad people and putting everyone in one pool and insulting them is unfair and uncalled for.
For example: "White people existed to ruin the world and kill slaves and corrupt culture" This statement would be insulting and wrong because not all white people are bad.
See the logic? Hoep this answers your question.

Cause its the people as an individual who does such things NOT "all" Muslims. That is like people saying "all" Christians are rude and show total disrespect for others. That is NOT true neither. There are lots of Christians who are like that but not "all" of them. Do you want to be held accountable for the actions of others just cause you share the same beliefs as them? My guess is no you don't.

Get your facts straight:
2 banks in West bank were attacked not "burned down". This was in Palestine where poverty is prevailing and people are living under the military rule of Israel. Not exactly best conditions?
The cartoon was violent in certain areas but peaceful everywhere else. But of course no one saw that.
You are continually bombarded by Western media of images in Palestine, Iraq and France (with large immigrant populations). These reflect a few and they are all disadvantaged and misguided.
If we switched positions around christianity would be used the SAME EXACT WAY.
Stop holding an ideology reponsible for the acts of a few in desperate situations who are seeking some way to express their anger and sadness
Edit: I am an ordinary Muslim and millions like me are continually standing up against terrorism. Its a butchering of our religion.
BUT YOU GUYS NEVER SEE IT BECAUSE MODERATE MUSLIMS ARE BORING!
You'll never see a moderate Muslim on Fox news because we just don't bring ratings. Its easier to hate than understand

listen, we take our religion very seriously.
you have been conditioned into believing that terrorism is Islam which it is not.
have you ever herd of the media call a terrorist a christian terrorists, no, but yet there are plenty. you never herd the IRA being called Cristian extremest or fundamentalists did you.
have you ever herd of the media call a murderer christian murderer,no, yet there are. you didn't ever hear Charles Manson being called a christian murderer did you.
because the media associate terrorism with Islam and Muslims you automatically think of Islam and Muslim when they say terrorist or terrorism. so that is why it is such a big issue.
we don't allow depictions of the prophet (pbuh) never mind a cartoon calling him a terrorist.

These acts of violence were commit ed by individuals or groups that do not represent the entire nation of Islam.
Recently a terrible act of violence was committed against some young girls in Penn. by a milk man. Should we condemn or suspect all milk men because of this?
