Tell the truth what do you think of the Muslim Religion? Can we ever trust them again? Are they a threat to?

Question

our society? Are they going to be the nemesis of all religious beliefs? Some believe that Mohammed is the false prophet that the Judeo/Christian Bible talks about in Revelations?
Are we willing to accept them as a fellow American when they clearly have stated we are the Infidel and to kill us? Really folks tell the truth? Please answer truthfully Americans?

Answer 1

I'll never trust anyone that claims I'm an infidel because I don't practice their religion. As long as they are intolerant and intent upon spreading Islam they are a threat to all non muslims.
They do not believe in live and let live.

Answer 2

I think we are having problems in the middle East / with Muslim radicals mainly because we as Americans look at any other culture that dosen't have freedom as we have it as oppressed. We also feel that it is our duty to promote democracy. In the Arab world they have their own way of handeling problems. For the most part it is, from how I understand history, it is through violence. Who is right to say that, that is the wrong way for them to handle their problems. It is not what we have decided or consider a good way to go. As soon as we relize that we will be better off minding our own business and taking care of our own people the better off we be.
I just don't understand why the majority of the Musslim Religion is never heard from. The radical groups would like for us to believe that they speak for he average person. The only looked up to people / leaders in the muslum world are the radicals. If they had a leader who would denounce terror, terror groups and try to promote a positive agenda, I am sure the US would be an ally to them. But the fringe groups are so strong and violent the average moderate Muslum knows better then to go looking for touble by talking bad about those groups.

Answer 3

Unfortunately most Muslims follow the directions of the Qur'an (section on Jihad) and we are in for a very difficult time. It is clear that Jihad refers to converting everyone to Islam and this should be done peacefully but by force if need be. It is impossible at this time to have all Muslims leave America because of their religious faith. Freedom of speech, religion and all that.....> I would watch all Muslims very carefully and jail those who are creating serious problems for the USA. The government is doing a good job in tracking Muslims but I feel that this tracking could be tightened but it has to be within the law. Freedom can be a two edge sword and in this case it is hanging over our head.

Answer 4

IN GOD WE TRUST - is American. If so, then the Americans should never ask this question you asked.

I am not American, I am a Kosovar and a Muslim. My late father was a Muslim priest and his uncle was a Muslim priest, too...

Whether you accept them or not, it is your choice. I say, you should better accept them if you really want friendly environment wherever you live and work. Muslims, in general, are very friendly and "clean" people. Extremists, on the other hand, are everywhere, in every religion although I myself fear the Muslim terrorists more nowadays because of their suicide inclination.

Answer 5

A religion atttracts those who feel they can use it full fill their desires.

People use Islam for power and many millions of muslims will march in support of this.

Many people marched in support of 9/11 and very same now claim 9/11 was a conspiracy against islam.

Religion is politics. Politics is almost a religion.

World dominate is not a new thing. Before religion was nationism. Before that imperialism.

Answer 6

It is sad to see people like you fear this group of people and cannot trust them. For the Muslims out there trust is something you earn. In America most of us cannot trust you when you sit on your hands and cover your eyes to all the suicide bombings in the name of your religion goes on today in the world. I trust most people including Muslims. I also am aware that In the Islamic faith there are many that preach hate and death. This radical wing of Islam needs to be shut up by the moderate Islamic people. That is unless you agree in killing innocent people is good for Islam. There are haters in all religions , but, in most the majority quiets the radicals down. Trust would be greatly improved when the day comes that the moderate Muslims of the world unite against their radical wing.

Answer 7

Tell The Truth? Hummmmmmmmmmm.

Answer 8

Here's the truth. YEARS before 9/11 hit, I was extremely concerned about religious fundamentalists--but being an American, I was only noticing the Christian fundamentalists. The "David Koresh" type, who twisted the Bible into their own brand of crazy. I was able to separate them from the true Christians, and I'm able to separate the radical Muslims from the rest of Islam. Islam really doesn't frighten me.

Answer 9

I don't think all Muslims are rabid and want us dead. Are all Catholics strict? Well, we don't want to harm anybody. But consider this:


An excerpt from Rev. Menezes, The Life and Religion of Mohammed pub. 1912

What permanent civilization and progress than can be expected from a people professing a religion founded on fatalism, polygamy and slavery? Their blind belief in inevitable fate, and their antagonism to liberty of thought and action have rendered reform next to impossible; and the professors of this religion seem never to realize their obligations and duty towards the people under their rule, of spreading true civilization, good government and the cultivation of the peaceful arts. The natural consequence of this ignorance and blindness has been despotism, mal-administration, bigoted persecution and oppression of their their co-religionists.


No major upheavals to the vast culture have been observed since Menezes wrote it over 100 years ago.

The following is excerpted from the link below:


As for the charge of racism leveled at skeptics of the Arab propensity for democracy, it would be true if the discussion were about individuals. Arabs in the United States are as capable of functioning within a democratic system as anyone else. They're just as American as any other citizens - because their families escaped the Middle East.

Arab states are another story: Their social, political, economic and cultural structures leave them catastrophically uncompetitive with the developed world. Societies divided down the middle by religion, inhibited by tribal loyalties and conditioned to accept corruption can't build healthy democracies.

Above all, societies and cultures that refuse to accept responsibility for their own failures can't build democracies.

As difficult as it can be to discern in the hype-and-gripe Internet age, our own system works because we shoulder the burden of our errors, seek to understand what went wrong - and fix the problem (the same may be said of Israel, the only successful democracy in the Middle East).

A culture of blame prevents moral, social and political progress. This is a self-help universe. The nonsensical Arab insistence that all Arab problems are the fault of America and Israel (or the Crusades) ignores the fact that Arab civilization has been in decline for 700 years - and has been in utter disarray for the last 200.

This is a homemade failure. Through their own choices, cherished beliefs, values and norms, Arabs have condemned themselves to strategic incompetence. No society that oppresses women, denies advancement on merit even to men, indulges in fantastic hypocrisy, wallows in corruption, undervalues secular learning, reduces its god to a nasty disciplinarian and comforts itself with conspiracy theories will ever compete with us.

The question has been asked before: Despite the massive influx of petrodollars over a half-century, where are the great Arab universities, the research institutes, the cutting-edge industries, the efficient, humane governments, the enlightened societies? The Arab world has behaved as irresponsibly as a drunk who won the lottery, squandering vast wealth and creating nothing beyond a few urban theme parks.


They are a threat to their own existence. If we allow Iran to have atom bombs, our existence will be threatened.

Answer 10

Religion is not the problem, it is the lack of empathy, education and realism people like you promote. Christians make up only 33% of the worlds population and Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. It is time to read up educate and understand many religions and not just the quips and barbs the media and other haters want you to believe.
