For those of you who think that being Muslim means being a terrorist.?

Question

You are very very wrong. Even as a Christian I believe that Muslims are not terrorists. It's only the extremists that claim to be Muslim that are terrorists. And saying that all Muslims are like that is like saying that Christians are like the Branch Dividians or those who blew up the Federal Building in OK City. You just aren't looking at the big picture. If you think about it Muslims believe in the same God Christians do. Both Muslims and Christians are monotheistic... Muslims take it a little far with not believing in the Trinity but they still believe in God. The call Him Allah which means God in Aramaic. So please I pray that God opens your eyes and you realize that only the smallest tiniest percentage of Islam are terrorists. God bless you and yours.

Answer 1

I love you!! :P jk but seriously thank you

Answer 2

What a wonderful statement made by a Christian!
More people need to read your statement and understand that it is the truth!
Didn't George Bush say that he is fighting because God told him to? What Religion is he anyway? In saying that, we could all say that all Christians/Jews or whatever he is, are terroists and believe everything he does.
Everyone it seems are making biased uneducated opinions. And when the facts are presented before them the get offended and deny them vehnemenly.
Muslims don't believe in the Trinity because we believe in ONE God, not Three. Jesus was not a God nor was this holy spirit. Only God is God.
Bless you for your kind words...

I just read someone doesn't believe all muslims aren't terroists because it isn't in the news? I'd like to say that you won't see it in the news because America doesn't allow it. They canceled Al Jazeera News for starters...if you watch that you will see MANY people defending Muslims.
You will never see that stuff on CNN, or Fox, or any American station...
One last thing, Most Islamic countries censor the news. My husband recalls a time in Bahrain watching the News, a Bahraini man was speaking up about the Government and what was wrong with it, and in the middle of him talking the station was cut off. Static. didn't come on again until he was finished!!!

Answer 3

The reality is that most terrorists are actually from Latin America, & especially with this definition of terrorism. However, 9/11 was & still the most memorable terrorist attack. That's a huge reason why many people think of Muslims whenever they hear anything of terrorism. I noticed many people believe that Muslim terrorists did the Olympic bombing in 1996, where in fact some white American man (Erick Rudolph) did it. As for Bush, no! Despite the fact that he called Islam a great religion. Despite the fact that he invites Muslims in the White house during Ramadan. Despite the fact that he is popular in Albania, & Kuwait. He’s a freemason who happened to be a Christian.

Answer 4

You are correct...however, polls conducted of muslim populations around the world (the US is an exception) consistently show that an overwhelming majority of muslims sympathize and/or support the activities of the those we called extremists or terrorists. With 1.2 billion or more muslims in the world, even if one-tenth of one percent are willing to be active 'terrorists', that's an army of over 1 million people spread around the world. On 9/11 we saw how much havoc 19 people can inflict. Many other attacks are carried out by individuals. Imagine 80000 9/11s. Is it any wonder the world is nervous.

Answer 5

My big problem is that when acts of terrorism are committed, no Islamic group ever denounces the acts of atrocity as being contrary to Islam.

If any such thing occurred in Christianity today, there would be several Christians on the news immediately denouncing those acts. I just have to believe that since there is nothing coming out against those atrocities, that most Muslims must then agree with the perpetrators.

Answer 6

With all due respect, of course the vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists....

However there is also a distinct lack of condemnation for the extremists by most Muslims.

There seems to be a far higher percentage of extremists Muslims in this day and age...at least in the mid-east...then in other religions.

I am sure this is due to material consditions...the lack of wealth distribution, lack of education...etc.....

However....there are many Mullahs who are preaching a radical and fundamentalist...conservative...approach to the world.

There are many mid0-eastern nations using their media in that way as well.

This situation fosters and nurtures and atmosphere where extremism occurs, and there don't seem to be many Muslims condemning that atmosphere.

Answer 7

God bless U ... but in "only the smallest tiniest percentage of Islam are terrorists." if u could include people from other religion also.

Answer 8

Ask the Muslims outside the US about how they feel about the suicide bombers who kill kids in Israel. They are freedom fighters who blow up buses and market places. Obviously they are not all terrorists, but there is a lot more sympathy for their methods than you think.

Answer 9

It is wonderful to see the truth about Islam from a Christian! Thank you, and may God bless you.

Answer 10

.Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.

They reject Christ's diety;
they deny his claim to be the Son of God;
they deny his death on the cross...
they deny His resurrection..
They deny Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
In fact, the Quran says : "Allah has no son".
Need I say more...?

Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ.

The Bible calls Muhammed and those like him false prophets:
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Answer 11

Gen.16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
