They are not the ones we are fighting, it is the extremists who are filled with anger and hatred. Why must people look for foolish excuses to hate those who would be our allies? People condemn them for not speaking out against terrorism, yet would you do so if it cost you your life? These people are trying to help, a march for peace in washington a few months back was organized for muslims. They are protesting against the horrors in this world, but you have closed your ears to them. People condemn the Qu'ran because it contains passages of violence, yet can anyone deny that in the Bible Moses ordered the families of those worshipping idols to be murdered? Most religions contain such things, but they also contain truth. The Islamic religion teaches humility and love, the true practicers of Islam accept the prophets of Christianity and Judaism as also being true. Why hate, when there is the possibility of peace?

Unknown perfect: You are commiting the logical fallacy known as "hasty generalization", you are portraying an entire group as following the radical beliefs of a small part of that group...

mzJakes: You fail to take into account the fact that the small minority controls the government, and that anyone who objects would be killed. Try putting yourself in someone elses shoes. Thinks about Nazi-occupied Europe, the people obviously disagreed with the atrocities commited, but if they spoke out they would be killed. Their silence does not in any way imply that they approved of this, only that they did not want to die. You have no right to speak for an entire group of people. Let them speak themselves, and you will see what they believe. The KKK exists, does that mean that all Christians support what is being done in the name of God?

Unknown Perfect: Ask any Muslim if they approve of what the extremists are doing.

This is Islam :"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)

Actions speak louder than words. Jews and Christian understand the violent verses of the Bible both as literal history and as object lessons for daily behavior. Muslims (far too many anyway) take violent passages literally and as literally applicable today.
Simple fact: Islam has been waging war with the non-Islamic world since its inception. To believe the claims that Islam is about peace is simply ludicrous. While many Muslims are wonderful, peaceful people (even if the vast majority are), it is not the responsibility of the non-Muslim world to clean up the violent filth within Islam...that is the job of Muslims. And it is a job that Muslims seem unwilling to do...or even speak about. In the absence of any action, word or deed designed to rid Islam of this so-called radical, fanatical, extremely small fringe minority, the only conclusion that can be drawn is the Muslims, by and large, agree with, support and encourage the war being waged against the non-islamic world. Thus the further conclusion is that the so-called radical element is not radical at all, but the mainstream of thought, action and deed within Islam making Islam the greatest scourge to ever fester on Gods green earth..

true, but for peace to happen America needs to stop picking fights and sending their troops to several countries to start problems. dialog is the only way to resolve these things,along with compromise. bush sees something he doesn't like makes his threats and gets ready for combat!!! throughout time it has always been war the talk and treaties. why not try for treaties first? however it is sad that so many people generalize other religions etc....i might be wrong but right now it's how i am thinking, hope you like the answer.

Because Christians dont call Jihad every time they suffer from PMS.
EDIT: If the moderates out number the extremists why dont you guys take care of them? Why are you justifying their actions? Yes I agree, I was generalizing, but when good men stand by and dont do anything in the face of evil, it makes them just as bad. I'm a Christian and although i am not Catholic the Catholics get nailed for their priest raping young boys and what not. We dont justify their actions, if it was up to me I would have their privates chopped off.

insecure people always hate anything without basis. With those of islam, they see it the greatest challenge to their religion in terms of truthfullness, logic and reasons.
