Answer 1

They could be, except that the Quran determines their behavior.

The mullahs are calling for another "intifada," claiming that the Jews are undermining the Al Aqsa Mosque and the place where their myths believe Muhammad launched himself into the Seventh Heaven. Where did this story come from? Does it meet any known time-line?

Muhammad died in AD 632. During his lifetime, an imaginative story floated by an unknown follower was circulated about Muhammad’s midnight dream ride on a flying horse to "Al Aqsa." SERIOUS ISLAMIC SCHOLARS WERE EMBARRASSED by this crass imagination that made no sense - as follows:

In the time it takes a clay water jar to tip and spill its first drop, Muhammad, in his mythical dream, flew from Mecca to the "the furthest place." In Arabic, "Al Aqsa" means "the furthest place." At that time "Al Aqsa" (or "furthest place") would be either a mosque in Medina or Allah’s Courtyard in Paradise. There was no mosque, no "Al Aqsa mosque," on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in Muhammad’s lifetime.

From AD 685 to 705, the Umayyad Caliph Abd-el Malik built the Dome of the Rock, also on the Temple Mount, Mount Moriah. (It is now called the "Golden Dome" after it was covered with gold by the King of Transjordan.) Caliph Abd-el Malik, who lived in Damascus, wished to be viewed as Muhammad’s heir and leader of Islam. He attempted to re-direct the Islamic religious/political compass away from Mecca towards Jerusalem and his sphere of religious/political power. The political thrust of all this was that al-Malik failed.

Islam as a religion and Muslims as a group continued to ignore Jerusalem as a non-entity and continued to bow in their worship toward Mecca. However, the myth was created among the (uneducated) Muslim/Arabs, that, by right of conquest, they owned the Temple of the Jews which existed as Solomon’s Temple of the Jews for thousands of years before Muhammad and Islam. However, the myth took root among the Muslims - as history was pushed aside.

That childish myth has become factual history, as the Arab/Muslims claimed the Jews’ most holy religious site, built thousands of years before Christianity or the beginnings of Islam. But the West "oohs and aahs" as the mullahs babble about their non-existent history, harking back to the Philistines (a warlike tribe of Phoenicians who came to the sea coast of Eretz Yisrael) and other tribes long gone.

The "Al Aqsa" mosque was not considered a true holy site of Islam until Saladin, the Kurdish warrior in the 12th Century needed an excuse to attack the Christian Crusaders who had taken Jerusalem. Saladin then claimed Muhammad’s dream of "Al Aqsa" was the mosque built on top of the Jewish Temple and, therefore, holy to Islam. But their claims are accepted today as if they were not a backward, uncivilized culture, but an advanced society of great thinkers and, therefore, worthy of being taken seriously. The media was presented with the scholarly history of the Jewish Temple numerous times but, they prefer the "mythical" version created by the Muslim/Arabs.

Answer 2

"they are just people like you and me. some are good some are bad."
That I'll agree with.

"why cant people learn to get along?"
KG:
Um, I think that might be because we're human.

"sooner or later the world is going to be just messed up!!"
News flash: The world is messed up. Always has been and most likely always will be.

"I know i said war of religions started on 9/11. but i menant that thats when it got even worse."
Debatable, but I don't feel like debating it.

"people i am 14 years old i have some more history to learn about. i am only in 8th grade sheesh!"
Okay, go ahead and continue learning history.

Answer 3

War of religions is a misnomer;it is in fact the eternal between virtue and vice.It is only after 9/11 the socalled became nervous as if muslims are going to prevail upon them.Since their religious conviction is at lowest ebb, so they think their religion is the most vulnerable thing as such they consider a wavering shadow to be a snake and find excuses and justifications to kill it.Since some muslims out false religous standards, are behaving unscrupulously as such they provide the chance for making a mound out of molehill.Since Imam Mehdi is here, the mess shall be cleared of very soon as prophesized in the holy books.No human can combat them except his hans risen for prayers to God.

Answer 4

I've known a Muslim who was a very good man, and I'm sure that a lot of Muslims are the same way. And yes, we hear about bad Muslims in the news (like suicide bombers).

But that could apply to a lot of different faiths (after all, look what Jim Jones and David Koresh, professed Christians, did!). There are "good" people, and there are "bad" people all over.

Answer 5

Like every country, there's a good side and a bad side, but one thing I know is you can't judge anything or anyone for what someone else has done and if you do you are only ignorant and prejudice. Yes, Muslims are great people worshiping and submitting to one God, one Allah. Sheesh I'm 14 too , give me a break :D.

Answer 6

^ honestly nearly all of the Rohingya's were born in that nation however nonetheless certainly not given rights. I get that their mum or dad's probably refugees however the youngsters born in that nation will have to be regarded residents. But they aren't. and I'm definite those Rohingya's had no alternative however to flee from the dangerous/harmful problem from wherein they're from. Yet they positioned themselves into a fair better hell gap - however who cares on the time? Everyone simply wishes to reside and continue to exist. No one wishes to die. and Light honey, in case your a christian, wherein is the affection for mankind? "So very nearly on account that you're a strawberry flavored lollipop, us lemon flavored ones do not supply a stick."

Answer 7

Thank you... But, we are really normal like any other people of other beliefs... Some are good and some are bad.... Really, the character at the first place is what distinguishes the person... And all religions tend to love, forgivness, and peace.. Some people apply their religions’ teachings and some don’t...

Answer 8

Most of the Muslims I have met and dealt with are wonderful people. There are always a few exceptions, but that happens in every religion.

Answer 9

Strip away religion and we will still have the rich, poor, ugly, beautiful, smart, stupid, hard-working and the lazy. It will be there regardless.

As for the war of religions JUST starting ... I highly suggest going back and reviewing your history text. Religious "altercations" - so to speak - have been going on for milennia.

Answer 10

Did You watch Chrisiane Amanpur's report on CNN about the Muslims in the UK ? This question should be asked of the Muslims.
