Don't Americans realize that we are not at war with the Islamic religion?

Question

It is not the religion that we are at war with. We are at war with fanatics who are hiding behind a religion, much like a Tele-Evangelist hides behind christianity for monetary gain. The religion of Islam has roots as far back as Christianity and the Old Testament is followed by Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

What are your thoughts on this?

So, What do we need to do to make Christians realize that we are not at war with a religion, and that Islam is not the "evil enemy" it is the fanatics that hide behind their beliefs!

We are not fighting a war with the religion of Islam.....we are fighting radicals!!!! For All that is good open your minds and read the flippin' question.....Are we that STUPID!

The problem is that the frakin' one sided news programs feed us BS on a dily basis and we are so stupid that we eat it up and believe that all of Islam is evil....I am not ISLAMIC and I can see the difference....C'mon Wake UP America!!!!

Answer 1

Actually, it is a religious war. Americans generally do not realize this. The "fanatics" who have "hijacked" a "religion of peace," are actually the true believers.

They are acting out their faith in practical ways. For them, it is the desire to impose a Caliphate upon the entire world. If the infidels resist, they will put them to the sword, just as Mohammad did.

While we don't think of the war in religious terms, the "fanatics" do. They always use the term "America is fighting Islam." But it is really the other way around.

Answer 2

Christians, like most other people in America are ignorant of the ways and means of other religions and peoples who are not Americans. Nothing exists but their narrow opinions of religions, other peoples, the world in general except their own lives. This has been happening in this country since the time of the British. Nothing changes. Intelligent people who only make up less than 1 per cent of the population in the United States are not thought well enough to comment on the common man's lifestyle, because the common man thinks that intelligent people are all rich and run the country to suit their own needs. I hope this answers your question somewhat? In my opinion.

Answer 3

I generally agree with your statement, but the apparent silence from moderate Muslims makes them somewhat complicit in the attacks of extremists, don't you think?

Sure, a few high-profile figureheads condemn such targeting of innocent people, but where is the widespread condemnation of extremist Muslim militants using children as shields and blowing up restaurants and buses?

Until the streets are filled with Muslims protesting the extremist elements portraying their religion as a violent, intolerant mindset, this will continue to be seen as a war with Islam.

Answer 4

We are at war with the islamic religion. And here is why: They say that we should have tolerance for islam, because we are a tolerant people, But if they were in power they would say: We will not tolerate your religion, because we persecute error. They do not seem to want us to know this about them.

Answer 5

I think this question is also interesting from the other side. Don't muslims realize that we are not at war with Islam?

I think that the answer to both questions is partially no. Unfortunately that fact will lead to more violence.

Answer 6

The problem is...despite what organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations might say and want everyone to believe...Islam is at war with anything and everything that is not Islamic and has been since its very inception. 1300 years of warfare speak volumes.

Answer 7

I totally agree, Christians and Muslims lived together for so many years and they were doing fine, then suddenly all the hate in the world came out just after 9/11 which was done by a group of people who call themselves Muslims and changed people's opinion on Islam forever.

Answer 8

Who told you that Americans were at war with Islam? What is the basis for that statement? You sound like a fanatic yourself for spreading misinformation.

Answer 9

I've said this a dozen times. Christians are blamed for abortion clinic bombers and abortion doctor shootings. We have to crack down on those types all the time, or WE get tainted with their paintbrush. When's the last time Islamic clerics spent time seperating themselves from the terrorists, especially in the Middle East.

If it walks like a duck...

Answer 10
