Ignorant question for those against islam?
I read this somewhere [NOTE: I AM NOT A MUSLIM]:

''I'm a Muslim and I've never killed anyone, nor will I ever kill anyone. Your information is incorrect. The Quran states that "Killing one soul is like killing all of humanity, whereas saving one soul is like saving all of humanity."

Let's really look at the facts. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. Even if we say that there are 120,000 Muslim murderers, that's .01% of the population. It's kind of like saying that all white people are terrorists because of Timothy McVey. Or that all black people are criminal because of the fact that the majority of prisoners are black.''

So, the questions are:
Does islam really kill people? WHo are they killing? why? when and how?
Is it fair to accuse all muslims for what some extremists do?

I am the only one willing to answer, OK. I am a muslim and there are many extremists out there. But they exist in every religion. There are even extremists who are not religous, but is a character flaw. For example, there are serial killers. I doubt they are religous, but will do the same acts that terrorists and extremists carry out.

But with the islamic terrorism, they are simply trying to convert the planet to islam. The problem is, you can not do it by force. It must be done by showing good character for that faith and another will admire it. Hence, admiring the nobility of the individual will make the perciever to want and lean what makes that person so pious. What is the thing that makes that individual so peacefull with a grace that is hard to explain.

"And there is no compulsion in religion. The right path has verily become distinct from the wrong path"-quran

Muhammad(pbuh) did not spread islam by the sword. He conquered unbelievers who wanted to kill him with the sword and destroy the perordainments of allah. Muhammad(pbuh) spread islam by love and compasion for his fellow mankind. For example, a jihad is meant for a war that is inside. A battle with yourself. Which each and every individual goes through everyday. He teaches mankind to struggle for inner peace so you may embrace islamic monotheism and enter paradise in the hereafter with allah. But the wars that are external are simply people backlashing on retaliation for misconduct. The quran talks about the killing of your enemy. But that is only if they attack you first. One must understand that during his time, arabia was a pagan society. The tribe he was from used to bury thier daughters alive and let the males live.

But yes, there are many extremists. On a lot of sides of the table. There are islamic extremists and christian extremists as well(not including things like nazis, aryans, and the kkk). And let's not forget about the zionists. For example, the US army is on christian crusade whether they know it or not. And hence, now the jihad of muslims is taken to an external battle.

Does islam really kill people? No, islam teaches love, peace, and respect for mankind. To embrace islam and aknowledge that there is no GOD but GOD and muhammad(pbuh) is his messenger. To believe in books, prophets, messenger, angels, divine preordainments, allah, etc. Those are whom muslims are. But extremists kill people. Even other muslims.

Who are they killing? Why? When and how?-Extremists(not muslims) will kill anyone they feel to be an unbeliever. An infidel. Those are ones whom have totally misconstruded what the quran says. And have changed the meaning of a word that can benefit them. The quran actually teaches muslims to deal kindly for no one but allah knows what will become of that individual. It teaches muslims not to harm any unless they attack you first. Which is basic logic for life.

Is it fair to accuse all muslims for what some extremists do?-No. It is not fair to blame or accuse "ANY" muslims for what extremists do. You can not blame someone for the actions of another. "No bearer of burdens shall bear the burdens of another"-quran. How can someone be blamed for the actions of another as if they are that individual? Where is the justice in the act of such a thing? That is like having a child grow up with a parent who is a bigot, but the child loves all life and humanity. Would you blame the child for "anything" that his parents do, act or think? No, they are two totally different people. And that is of blood relation. Now how does that compare to that of kin/kith by faith?

Salaam!-PEACE!
