I have to agree I'm more afraid of stupidity than a religious person of any strong faith

Until 9/11 most Americans just figured the Middle East business was all about Isreal, (even though the muslim Brotherhood and their dream of world domination precedes it by two decades). Since then I think people are a little ticked when those refugees we took from the Middle East in were rejoicing about the 9/11 attack, I think the shock of it prevented any real response to that. But the more I learn from others in countries that Islam is trying to conquer, including Spain, and the more I see that a small percentage is bragging they will rule the world and destroy the USA, the more I wonder if the USA should leave the Middle East and the Middle Easterners should leave the USA, you go play in your corner, I'll play in mine. But the Holocaust was real, and the Crusades were to protect Europe from invasion, and the fact they can't be taught in UK schools now shows just how much "tolerance" some people have.

I have nothing against Muslims and do not condone racism. However, extremism is a problem in certain countries. These activities do not reflect the real nature of Islam. I suppose I would attribute it partly to indoctrination into certain fringe groups as well support from the governments and the elite. Sometimes, it is about foreign interference, the history of colonialism, unjustifiable invasions, exploitation and the conditions of the country. I do not condone it and feel that the people involved should be held accountable and that there is nothing wrong with security efforts, screening, fingerprinting and counter-intelligence efforts. I am not talking about the wars in Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq, which are illegal, racist and wrong.

How did Islam spread so far and wide to begin with? It was suicide missions by people hoping to die and get their 72 virgins while they still had bodies young enough to enjoy them. Tell me, how were your ancestors converted? Was it a sword to the throat that convinced them to believe in the beauty of Islam? If not, then what? Did your ancestors really voluntarily travel the great distance to Mecca on their own in order to discover the beauty of Islam? How much do you really know about the history of Islam? Perhaps if you would learn a little, you would not like what you learn. Tell the truth.

Padrino: Firstly; I do not "hate" Islamics but do hate the radical practises of the extremists. I am a Christian and therefore, do not condone any violence against others. 9/11 was a statement made by the extremists that flies in the very face of the Islamic practice. Allah does not condone murder nor violence - never !!! Neither; does Jesus Christ ! I have a Muslim friend and we get along fine. He does not like the terrorists because they have caused people to hate Muslims. He said he prayed to Allah to ask him to punish all the terrorists in the world, who profane his name.

Maybe a bit, but for entirely different reasons.

Before 9-11 Islam was stereotyped as violent, women suppressing, and facist.

Unfortunately, after 9-11 a lot of those stereotypes proved true. I know that MOST Muslims do NOT feel that way, but those that do are making FAR more noise than those who don't.

I neither have an irrational fear of nor do I hate Muslims. I find their religious beliefs to be as unfounded as everyone else's, but I know enough of them to know that they aren't all as violent and hateful as the terrorists that were responsible for the attacks on Sept. 11th.

I have a personal issue with members of al-Qa'ida or any other terrorist group, whether they are foreign or domestic, regardless of their religion. I have no specific problems with Muslims in general.

I read the Koran, the first time I read it was before Sept. 11th... maybe it was a mistranslated Koran as some Muslims would say, but on many of the pages it says that "Christians and Jews are brothers" and "Christians and Jews are evildoers" and "no one is to befriend a Christian or a Jew" and "... they are evildoers deserving of death"
However, I believe most muslims are nice people, they mean well... although they are misled. They haven't yet been able to see and know who Jesus is and who we all are to
G-d.

I am not, and wasn't before 9/11. People who live in fear of those of Islam are likely uneducated. They don't realize that every sect has its fanatics. One need only to look at the Westboro Baptists to see that.

I am not afraid or hateful of Islam, just saddened that so many people would follow a deception that leads away from eternal life with Christ.

The more I know of Islam, the more I am convinced that the God they follow is not the transcendent and imminent God of the Bible. Allah may be viewed as transcendent by Muslims but they will never know the God with us, Immanuel who draws near to man to redeem him. The Muslim god is distant and aloof in comparison to Yahweh.

I was wary of Muslims since I lived in Qatar 20 years ago and at that time it was one of the most liberal of the Islamic states.
