Ok, am I Muslim and I totally believe in my religion and Allah. Btw, please ignore these extremists Muslims. They are the ones to be blamed, not the religion. Not all Muslims are bad. These terrorists have done enough damage to the world.
doesn't anyone know that Islam is only 1400 years old while Judaism is way older, even older than Christianity. To writer of truth, if you are referring to really ancient times when Judaism existed, it would not have been possible for Muslims to have tortured the Jewish if the religion was not even in existence then.
Btw, Islam respects Christianity and Judaism. The Quran states that God sent down books and scriptures to prophets. The scrolls of Abraham, the Torah sent to Moses, the Gospels sent to Jesus, the Psalms sent to David and the Quran to Mohammad.
Therefore, we recognise Judaism and Christianity. Muslims are to believe in the existence of the books and scriptures. Those who do not are not considered believers of God. Therefore, Christians and Jewish are known as "People of the Book".

hey rick, thks for your input. yep, Allah is God in english and does not refer to the God Christians and Jews believe in.
as for the Quran, what is mentioned is jihad or holy war. well, these stupid terrorists thought that they can go around killing pple when we're forbidden to do so. those who are murderers are not Muslims. for them, it's jihad. but its not.
just to explain the concept of jihad - its holy war. but we can only use it as a last resort when ppl go ard killing muslims and torturing them.
dun diss only the muslims. recently, israel was also attacking other countries and nobody said anything abt it.
n what abt the time when ireland was divided cos some were protestants and the rest catholics? how come christians too kill one another?
its said Jesus was a Jew, Israelite. if he was then why dun the Jews believe in him while Muslims believe that Jesus and Moses are God's messengers?

The call muslims terrorists because terrorists are usually muslim (although not all muslims are terrorists).
They say muslims believe in another god because the one true God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to Earth to die for the sins of mankind. The muslim religion does not accept this fact, so they do not worship the same God the Christians and the Jews worship.
Also, the one true God named the Jewish people as his chosen people. However, the muslims treat the Jews like crap. If they really did worship God, they wouldn't be treating his chosen people the way they are (and that goes for any other anti-semetic faction).

Yes the arabic word "allah" means "god" in english, but its not the same reference to God that Jews and Christians use.
And people call Muslims "terrorists" because the majority of terrorists that have attacked have been Muslims. And those attacking Muslims always quote their Koran, the holy book of the Muslims.

Allah is the name of the Muslim god. Like Yahweh or Jehovah in the Christian religion. People call Muslim terrorist because they are misinformed and afraid. Most Muslims are decent people, there are extreme radicals in every religion and right now Muslims extremists are the 'aggressors' sort of. There really isn't an easy answer. A favourite quote of mine 'fighting over religion is like fighting over who has the best imaginary friend'

I have a spell check button in the corner...do you? But to answer your question...just because some people call Muslims terrorist, doesn't mean ALL Muslims are. They don't believe in "another" GOD, there is only one. They just don't believe Jesus was his son that God sent here to save us from our sins....yet, they will eventually. Quit watching the news and listening to other people. Read the scriptures...you probably don't understand them...that is OK...keep reading. Pray and ask God for help. He is your Father in Heaven. He loves his children. He wants you to find him. KEEP LOOKING!

Allah when translated from Arabic to English means -- SUPREME BEING.
well not all people generalise muslims but those who do do not know much except for what they get from Islam-bashing websites, CNN/FOX/SKY and their politicians.
but most people do go out on their own search about Islam and finally know that Islam isnt what is exhibited by extremists. also if one has Muslim freinds then they already know that Islam isnt a religion which is harsh and demanding. Most people know what Islam is by looking at those who DO NOT kill, rally or protest.
EDIT -- TO PAL JKAAL -- oh dear, my ancesstors were from India too. my great great great grandpa was a freedom fighter along with Gandhi, but right after independence we were thrown out of the country. we have now settled here in Far East. unfortunately my great, great, great grandpa couldnt survive -- for he was killed -- let me be specific burnt alive with our home in Old Delhi by Hindus, for whom he was a part of Independence. now i am very thankful to God that we have settled here in Far East. i do have Hindu Freinds -- both male and femal but i can only tell you that my female freinds are worth their morals. also if you wont find me running around avenging the death of my fore-fathers. and please dont be in the misconception that India has had bloodshed due to muslims. u should be knowing the history of India even before Muslims came.

Allah means God in Arabic. It may be translated God in English, but remains an Arabic word.
Allah may be God to muslems, but Allah is not God to everyone.

Some people call muslims terrorists, but they are talking about muslim extremists and fail to differentiate between the two. All in all though, every major religion has extreme fringes that use terrorism as a tool to try and control people. I say, nuke 'em all and sell the glass.

Yes, Allah means God in English. I have often wondered what it would sound like in Russian Chinese, Greek, Romanian....etc
