Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070226/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq

'Somebody' made the obligitory Muslim reference to the Crusades. It is a HISTORICAL FACT that the Crusades were in defense of Muslim insurrection into Europe. Furthermore, the Crusades were 1000 years ago, when the world in general was a lot more barbaric. The Muslim woman who bombed and killed over 40 innocent people JUST DID IT. That's my point. Islam is a barbaric religion, and has been since its inception in the mid-7th Century.

'Proud to be a Muslim' suggested that these suicide bombers are sent from America. If that's your belief, then you are more ignorant than I could ever imagine!

Answer 1

islam is not to my opinion nor obsevance peaceful

Answer 2

Just because somebody calls themselves a religious leader does not make them a spokesman for the religion. If it looks, smells and acts like a politician it probably is one. Don't you see that by accepting them as acting in the name of religion you are only validating them and by placing all Muslims in their camp mentally you are alienating all Muslims.
Individuals are responsible for crimes and should be judged accordingly and not place guilt on everybody sharing some characteristic. The Nazis did that with the Jews.

Answer 3

Because a minority of Muslims that are violent do not represent actions and beliefs of the rest of the followers of Islam. Read a history of the Crusades and you'll see how violent Christianity can be.

Answer 4

It's a historical fact that Christianity has slaughtered more Muslims.

This is from the dairy of historian Raymond of Agiles describing the capture of Jerusalem by the Christian Crusaders in 1099:

"Some of our men cut off the heads of their enemies; others shot them with arrows, so that they fell from the towers; others tortured them longer by casting them into the flames. Piles of heads, hands and feet were to be seen in the streets of the city. It was necessary to pick ones way over the bodies of men and horses. But these were small matters compared to what happened at the temple of Solomon, a place where religious services ware ordinarily chanted. What happened there? If I tell the truth, it will exceed your powers of belief. So let it suffice to say this much at least, that in the temple and portico of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins."

Answer 5

well lets see

1. suicide bombing- against islam- cannot kill self or innocent
2. violence- only can be used in self-defense or defense of religion
3. people use religion as an excuse
4. just because someone commits a crime, that does not mean every person similar is just as bad

Answer 6

It says in Quran to kill innocent people? No. So why are you comparing her actions to Islam. Are all Christians bad because Bush invaded Iraq on lies and is stubborn enough to not admit his mistake even though it is causing more blood shed on both sides? No.

Answer 7

is this enough to say islam is not religion of peace.???
And do you know who was killed all of them are muslims.
Now can you tell me that a muslim will kill other muslim or a non-muslim will kill muslim.
Obviously these suicide bombers and so-called muslims are brain washed in america and than send to these countries to kill muslims.
i am a muslim & i know it more than u..
believe me there is no such thing like killing others in islam.

Answer 8

Well, what do you expect? In their Quran (in the final chapters), non-Muslims and Jews are found getting slaughtered like lambs in a holocaustic bloodbath, if they don't forcefully convert.

Answer 9

I asked this question earlier tonight, and was called a horrible human being.

I agree with your point. Maybe you'll get thru to these people.


Also, get ready for the moderates not wanting to take control of the situation. AGAIN.

Answer 10

Islam is by no means a religion of peace.
