It's easier and socially acceptable to blame someone else...everyone else's doing it!

In truth it's always much easier to blame the other guy or take the easy way out than to take responsibilty. On the whole; though, there are a few exceptions, Arab Muslims, because of their culture do exactly that. This is why they are called the third world.
Now with that being said let us look at it another way, we are all guilty of this very thing from time to time, as it doesn't always have anything to do with being Muslim. It has to be the way we are raised and how our culture is run.

No offense, but I think you have to first understand the terms you are using and the history behind them. After all, in the middle ages the Islamic world was the height of civilization, while the Judaic Christian world was filled with Barbarism.
Also, claiming the acts of a few extremists to fullfill the whole does little justice.
In essence your argument is as valid as this one:
Christians only believe in violence, afterall what else was Waco, OKC, and every abortionist clinic bombing about?
Do you think the ideas of these few extreme Christians portray what you would find in your average church in America? No, probably not... and you know... news coverage of peaceful Islamic ceremonies isn't very interesting news.

I think over generalizations like this are extremely dangerous. I absolutely am appaled by, and condemn, much of the Muslim world's political leadership (I am talking about the heads of state in Iran, Syria, the Gulf States, and Lebanon...as well as some of their community leadership in other nations). The same can be said for many of their Clerics. Many of the mid-eastern nations do use their State Media to scream anti-semetic and anti-American propoganda.
Between indoctrination by the media...and by some of the radical clerics like Sadr.....many of the people also seem to become what we would call radical Islamists. But when you take the percentage that fit into this category and compare it to their over all numbers.....I'm sure it's relatively small. Most of them, like the rest of us, just want food...water....a better life for their kids...etc. It certainly doesn;t help that the media in many of these nations tell them that the reason they don't have enough food, water, etc....is Israel and America. The reason they have a higher percentage of fanatics is because of their lower standards of living...education....etc.
I think there are paralells between low education levels and low income with increased fundamentalism. I don't think it's a coincidence that as this nation's divide between the have and have nots has grown, so has religious fundamentalism. When you have fewer chances in this life....it helps to believe in a different life. One where the meek might inherit.

Actually I live in Saudi..and I think it's a great place to live in..although yes it has its own negative aspects.. but as a Muslim country it is a good, rich peaceful country..
Why shouldn't we blame the Media?? Have you seen how they ruined our image running around looking for those who act wrongly in the name of Islam? Did u go to a Muslim country and sat down with "right" Muslims??
If you are talking about Palestine... well they are oppressed..
we blame part of the west because of their persistent intervention in all of our matters..
Why is the U.S in Iraq?? Why can't Israel live peacefully with Palestine?? When you go and invade a country and kick the natives out what do you expect the reaction would be??
"What they truly are?" PLEASE DEFINE "WHAT" AM I?
yes we have done mistakes and we should start acting..some are..

Muslims do not blame everyone. They blame America in particular and more specifically the American Media. Why? For several reasons:
1-For Occupying Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq and threatening to aggress Iran and Syrian.
2-For constantly supporting Israel and providing them the most sophisticated weapon to demolish muslim houses, shed their blood and split their children into pieces.
3-For creating a myth called Ben Laden to worsen the image of Islam and gain a pretext for the so-called "war on terrorism".
4-For causing religious tensions between Sunnis and Shias to divide them and weaken them. ex: hanging Saddam on Eid.
5- Your media tells you how many Israelis have died in the war (mostly of heartbreaks) , but does it ever mention the name of the innocent kids that were slained by Israeli soldiers.
Moreover, when Arabs go report these crimes to the UN, in order to take sanctions against Israel, the USA uses VETO . So it's normal for an oppressed young muslim guy to react and bomb himself when he realises there's no hope of UN.
6- INJUSTICE :- It is not allowed to even question the Holocaust, but it is widely acceptable to insult Islam and Muslims and mock their Prophet.
7-Iran has no right for peaceful nuclear energy while Israel openly claims it possesses about 350 nuclear bombs.
Strangely enough, the USA dropped 2 bombs on Japan a few years back.
For all those reasons and more...Muslims blame America.
Still can't get it? Oh right... you're American, no one has the right to blame you for anything. No one has the right to stand in your face,or else , you'll call him a terrorist and occupy his land.

Why are each and all the illegals coming here and then want to alter this u . s . a . into the single they got here from? that's the question alot human beings "gringos" are asking. Myself and ninety 9% of all "gringos" have not got a concern with human beings coming here to make a residing. What we've a concern with is human beings coming here illegally and getting welfare and unfastened wellness care that something human beings are having to pay for with the aid of greater wellness care fees. you're saying we've an conceited attituded. How conceited is it to protest the country you're in illegally, call for each little thing a U.S. citizen gets each and all the whilst waving the flag of the country they left because of the fact they could no longer stay there. If human beings want to return here to greater effectual themselves and are keen to do it legally, welcome. in the event that they are going to sneak in and squat then I say around 'em up and deliver them abode. I comprehend i would be called a racist and that's superb. the folk that be attentive to me should help be attentive to distinctive. the city I stay in is sixty seven% hispanic, so i'm pals with greater human beings of hispanic good than white, and those first era immigrants are not happy aobut illegals coming here the two. that is their jobs which would be lost to human beings sneaking in and doing jobs for much less funds, no longer mine. Racism is a gadget the left makes use of to maintain the time-honored public divided. to this point as maximum conservatives are worried, whe do no longer care the place somebody comes from. If somebody desires a hand we are usually the 1st to lend it, yet we don't want to create dependents on the government. we'd like human beings to think of for themselves and do for themselves. And as far because of the fact the Muslims are worried, all of us be attentive to that each and all and sundry muslims are no longer a concern or possibility to us, basically the extremists. yet maximum human beings of Muslims desires to sentence the strikes of the minority.The terrorists are killing greater Muslims than Christians and that they basically sit down decrease back and take it. in the event that they might help us end the folk who're killing them, issues may well be alot greater effectual for all worried.

Ever since the British carved up the Middle East and Palestinians were displaced to create Israel, Arabs have had is rough, so I think we might understand their bitterness. Of course, there's no reason to use violence to express that bitterness, but the west is at least partly to blame, historically speaking.
By the way, heard of Dubai? Looks like a pretty swank place to me. Also, Saudi Arabia has a good education system and low unemployment--thanks to oil.

Because their mullahs tell them to.
They do what they do to stay alive. If they rock the boat it's "off with their heads" under Sharia law.
The vast majority of muslims wouldn't be muslims if they had a choice.
Haven't you ever noticed that every government NOT based upon the Judeo-Christian tradition creates a master/slave relationship between the ruling class and the peasant class?
America was founded upon the principle that the people were the sovereigns and those inhabiting government offices were public servants.
Oh how far we have fallen!

the best defense is a good offense, possibly .But I think they have no sense of morality because the Koran espouses to the sword and that is primarily their only source of ideology. The fault lies in themselves not the stars or us, of course. Well maybe just the stars.
