Yes I know. It's not fair they should leave Allah out of it. Allah is a god of love.

I find it curious that people do not recognize that the christian God is the same god as the islamic God (or Allah). The split came from the sons of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael (the latters' decendants went on to found islam). Also, I would remind everyone, that even though man is ensured Gods' love, Gods' wrath is displayed throughout the Bible. Even priests, attempting to keep the Ark from falling and tumbling to the ground, were struck dead for touching it. God sent the Israelites into Babylon and told them to kill everything that moved. God is a god of vengence, as well as mercy. I tend to agree with the fellow above, who said that there are many misled by a few. These few, whom were wronged somehow, and allowed hate for the western world to fester and spread among their own, merely use the name of Islam as a means to an end. It's really quite dispicable. The great sadness of it is, that they do it so well, it is impossible for us to discern the peace loving muslim from his bastardized radical cousin, who lies and waits in camoflauge for an opportunity to strike the innocent.

All trough History people have used their gods to commit violent acts, specially the 3 monotheist religions : Christianity, Judaism and also Islamism. Just because a minority of people do this actions it does not mean that religion is a bad thing, there is a silent majority (people you never hear about) that do great things inspired by their religion to make their lifes and other peoples lifes better.

To commit what? Murder? Muslims aren't the only people to do that. Christians have also used religion as an excuse for violence. Protestants and Catholics kill each other in Ireland. Many Christians killed people because they thought they were witches. Christians came to America and killed most of the people who were already living there. They went to Africa and took people into slavery. In the Dark Ages, scientists were persecuted and killed because the clergy thought they contradicated the Bible. They also went to Jerusalem to kill Muslims during the Crusades. Bishops and other clergy from the Catholic Church blessed the Nazis and Facists during World War II. I wouldn't be surprised if more people were killed in the name of Christ than any other religion in the history of the world.

It's no different to Christians who kill in the name of God and have done over the last 2,000 years ago. The difference is while Christians are quick to condemn ALL muslims for what a small number do in the name of God they (the christians) absolutely deny that what happened in 2,000 years of Christian rule around the world is to do with 'true' christianity. Try telling that to the hundreds of millions murdered because they wouldn't convert to christianity be it protestant or catholic ideology. Look at the history of the Popes for example.
ALL religions have those who commit crimes in the name of God
even CHRISTIANS.

The Christian God is ostensibly about love and mercy, too, and many, many acts of violence have been committed in His name.
Remember, if you convert someone, have them confess their sins, and kill them right there, some people's logic would say that you did them a favor by guaranteeing their entry into the afterlife with an unsullied soul.
And some people are just running a scam from the folds of God's robe.

Those moslems who use the name of Allah to commit atrocities are the extremists and they are not true moslems. Allah do not support evil or evil doers, Allah is truly full of Love and Mercy.

I don't now about all that propaganda, but according to the Islamic Holy Book, his prophet, Muhammad evidence racism in his persona. He is quoted as saying:"That if you dreamed of a black woman, this was an evil omen". (Hadith no. 9, vol. 162,163). He also referred to black people as "raisin heads" (Hadith no. 662, vol 1). He was also a notorious slave owner. Some of his black slaves were named: Bilal; Abu Hurairah; Usamah Ebn Zaayad; and Rabbah, to name a few of them. So, I guess you know what I as an African male think about Muhammad!!!

Portrayed by who ?? The message obviously hasn't filtered through to all believers of Islam & what is occuring in Iraq & the Sudan is an absolute disgrace not only to believers of Islam but to all civilised nations on earth . Murder of innocents is indefensible...iin Sudan ...of Christians , in Iraq of Muslims .

There are crazy individuals in all religions. These so-called Muslims are poor misguided fools. They are bringing down the name of Islam and it needs to stop so people can realize that Islam is actually a peaceful religion.
