I really and truly cannot wrap my head around this. I am a christian, I don't hate muslims, I don't hate anyone....Okay there are ppl that I dislike a great deal, but they are in my own family and it's not for religious reasons, it's because they are idiots. I just wish there was some way I could try to understand better why some Muslims feel they way they do???? Help!?

It has NOTHING to do with their religion.

ANY religion can be used to bend people to the will of a shrewd, murderous manipulator. You have to consider the economic, political, and CULTURAL state of the sectors of Islamic society from which the terrorists are recruited. It has more to do with the fact that certain leaders and demagogues in the Muslim world blame the West for all of their society's problems.

Whynoaskdon, MauriceH, Commonsensedonthurtu: Get a ******* education. Your complete ignorance and lack of respect for a peaceful religion reflect a similar hypocritical bigotry to which terror recruits fall victim.

Sura 9:1-6 is the final teaching of the Qur’an regarding Jihad, it is what is still in force today.

The list of unbelievers (hence the enemies of Allah) includes Jews and Christians besides pagans as Sura 9 continues in verses 29-31:

Fight those who believe not in God nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of truth, (even if they are) of the people of the Book [Bible], until they pay the jizya with willing submission, feel themselves subdued. Jews call Uzair [Ezra] a son of God, and the Christians call Christ the Son of God ... God’s curse be on them; how they are deluded away from truth! They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of God, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary. Yet they are commanded to worship but One God. (Emphasis mine)

Those who reject faith” are those who do not want to become Muslims and at this point no more treaties of non-attack are to be observed, since it was decided that they “cannot frustrate God” any longer. The Qur’an clearly establishes an attitude of war toward all those who don’t believe Islam, wherever they may live, until they “repent and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way to them.” Yusuf Ali’s comment is: “when war becomes inevitable, it must be prosecuted with vigour.”[
This are examples left by Muhammad for all of his followers in all times and places
In light of the Muslim concept of the Umma, the status of religious others in Qur’anic Islam is not negotiable. Ellul says that the status of the dhimmi:

... was not the product of historical accident but was that which ought to be from the religious point of view and according to the Muslim conception of the world. In other words, it was the expression of the absolute, unchanging, theologically grounded Muslim conception of the relationship between Islam and non-Islam. ... One must know as exactly as possible what the Muslims did with these unconverted conquered peoples, because that is what they will do in the future.

Neither do I; but the number is A LOT less than you think. But to those few, here's what I have to say about them: they've totally crushed all of the remaining 99.99999% of us Muslims have worked our azzes off for! If they really gave a sh*t about their religion theyd get off their lazy butts and go to school and learn to even read the QUran. Now us Muslims have a heightened duty to do good at everything and this double standard because every1 is watchin us now. We have to be the best family member, citizen, employee, student, Muslim, public speaker and role model. It's not all the Muslims fault either. We do alot in the community and no1 gives a $h*t. were tryin to change the lies but no1''s listening. Islam is peaceful but realistic. We fight only when attacked. I'm getting PO'ed wit all the terrists who think they are somehow making God happy (when really they are probly goin to u kno where for killin innocent ppl) and im tired of the f'n misconceptions some ppl come up with. On the bright side a lot of ppl are researchin Islam and being drawn in. I dont think u have to be Muslim to be good but I definately think that will help our image to have some open-minded, educated converts. Peace and blessings.

Remember David Karresh? Waco Texas? A bunch of nice Christian people were conned into doing stupid things because of one guy that knew how to use their faith to control them.

Radical Islam is much the same thing. If you set these people down in a nice quiet, comfortable efficiency apartment, and told them that they couldn't come out until they've read the Q'ruan ( pardon the spelling ), they would probably feel like a schmuck for all the stuff they were conned into doing and find way to repent.

They do these things not because they are evil, but because they're " preacher " says that what their Allah wants them to do. These are people of strong faith. But with an evil human influence.

Best wishes.

If you are in the situation the Muslims of Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, Iraq and Afghanistan you would understand that the Muslims were never treated with respect and care from rich countries like the USA and UK. These Muslims are always:

1. harassed
2. raped
3. killed/injured
5. blamed on faults done by others
6. shown as "Evil" in American and Int. Media
7. refugees in other countries
8. very hard situations
9. refused to work or live like a human just because what they believe in
10. in hunger and agony

and there is so more....

Yet these very Muslims who try to fight back for their rights, they are called terrorists.

You might think they are terrorists, but one's terrorist is anothers freedom fighter.

Yes, they are some Muslims that do bad actions and things totally against humanity and religion but this has nothing to do with blaming the whole Muslim Ummah (Community)

It is obvious. The West is going to experience the superiority of Islam and that Islam will gain Global Domination and there is basically less/none that the West can except watch.

(NO, I am no TERRORIST) (NO, I am no ANTI-..)

You are just given a wrong impression about islam, this is part of anti-islamic propaganda....Muslims are not aimed to kill the infidels, we respect other religions as we expect the same for ours...We live peacfully with non-muslims..and respect their believes..becuase our prophet has told us that we must do this...We are only allowed to kill when we are attacked...so our fight is defensive not offensive. I realy could not get why peoples beleive in such a filthy propaganda...there is no such determination in our religion.."killing a single human means killing the whole humanity" this is what our prophet said ..and killing without any valid reason(being attacked) is strongly forbidden.
Pleas get out of this impression that muslims are killers.....we love humanity and we respect it......Btw i m a muslim by birth and i can't kill even a small ant :P

Actually as all fanatics do, they read the Koran wrong and design it to their ambition, as in the answer's above. What the Koran means is that they should look for infidels in their OWN religion and make them believers. They do not mean Christians but Muslims. There are the Muslims who also believe in Jesus as the first prophet, they also believe in the Old Testament and then come the fanatics who twist the words to their own belief. Look at the Mormons and their bible, you can have as many women as you like to have and marry. Perfect example, we believe in monogamy and they believe in polygamy. Well, at least they are a peaceful lot.

There was a time in history when Muslim Middle East was enjoying a golden age while Christian Europe was on the brink of political, economic, and cultural collapse. Religion is not the problem here. It's culture. Nations change and so do their manners.

Hang on. The only kaafurs Muslims really want dead are the Israelites. The Christians don't really matter unless they refuse to revert to Islam. But that will happen when ALLAH wills it. And that will be when the Muslims get Palestine back from the Jews.

The ones that follow to the letter what is written in the Qu'ran are bound to these acts.

What most Jews and Christians don't realize is the same injunction is given in the Torah/Bible. It also says to kill a child who talks back, how to 'properly' treat your slaves, etc. Perhaps Islamic terrorists are disturbed, but they do appear more religiously commited than you.
