No, most Muslims are not into terrorism. Yes, alot of Muslims are angry. We are constantly stereotyped and judged and oppressed and ridiculed, and many Muslims lash out at the West for feeding into it. Kind of like "You want us to be terrorists so bad, we'll show you terrorists.", not that it's right but it's human nature. When you back an animal into a corner, it attacks.

But even then, that's only a small part of Muslims. There are 1.5 billion of us, you know. If we were all terrorists, whew . ..that would be bad.

It's really good that you aren't buying into the media hype and wanting to find out for yourself. That sort of open-mindedness isn't too common. So, yeah. . .I hope I answered your question.

There are two factions of Muslims--Shia and Sunni.
Sunni is usually peaceful while the Shia are not.
Most Muslims are taught from a young age that the ultimate thing is to practice Jihad--be a martyr for Allah and thereby secure your place in Heaven.
As far as terrorism goes only a small number of Musims will ever practice it.

No, most Muslims are Sunni Muslim and they live in Indonesia, Africa and quite a few other places. On ther hand you have the Shi'a Muslim which are more radical. They're the ones that live in the Middle East. But again, the majority of Muslims are Sunni.

The world is a fearful place right now, and some Muslims direct their fear and anger against the west through terrorism. But the majority of Muslims do not support terrorism, and in fact would point to many parts of the Koran where Muhammad specifically speaks against killing innocent people.

Here is a statement from a group of young Muslims against terrorism:

"Muslims AGAINST Terrorism was founded in the wake of the tragedy of September 11th by a group of young American Muslims. Our goal is to honor the loss of the thousands who were senselessly killed by working to ensure that it never happens again. We stand, as Muslims, against all forms of terrorism in all parts of the world. We seek to increase awareness and understanding about the true teachings of Islam, a religion that preaches peace, love of humanity and service to the community."

This is a question of point of view.
Some Fundamentalist Muslims try to force their views.
Some Fundamentalist Christians try to force their views.


The thing is you only hear about the people and places that are at war or radical on the news so the many peaceful loving people in this world are not even considered.

What do I think of BUSH when DOES he retire?

No! Are most Americans just fascists bent upon world wide destruction? There is no way that such a question can be asked and not be offensive. They are living in an occupied country, and you only get the news from the occupiers. Think about who is spinning the propaganda that you are listening to.

No, the media is the worst place to find information about anything. Its always extremely one-sided. Most muslims are peaceful. But thats not newsworthy.

Please comprehend that the British planted a humorous seed of extremist Islam interior the heart of Arabia interior the kind of Wahabism, to combat the Turks who have been additionally Muslim and represented maximum Muslims of that element. This nomadic Islam grew to become into fairly puritanical and grew to become into waiting to uproot the Turkish empire with the help of the British. individuals inherited and elevated on what the British did. it somewhat is the reason Bush has a deep dating with the Royal family contributors of Saudi Arabia. All Sauds are indebted to the British and now to individuals. different than, what has befell is what grew to become into planted for a objective is turning out to be a wild weed it somewhat is becoming on each and everything and taking on each and all of the trees, gardens and fields and killing them. bypass see Lawrence of Arabia one extra time, preserving in suggestions what I even have written. Then see how Taliban grew to become into supported by Reagan and how GWB sent airplane a large sort of Benladen family out of usa after 911. then you will see the relationship between the puritanical Islam and its severe perspectives, which assessment so completely from the way of the Prophet of Islam, who forgave all his enemies and his arch enemy's living house grew to develop into the living house of shelter for anyone who grew to become into afraid while the Muslim armies entered to take Mecca. authentic Islam is centuries previous, balanced, non violent and forgiving, albeit Islam teaches us to combat people who're aggressive and subdue them. The fake Islam it somewhat is taking on countries and human beings grew to become into created by the British to beat the Turks. risky formulation, it somewhat is coming back living house to roost. i'm hoping you think of approximately it and comprehend that actuality can at cases be very no longer elementary to fathom. If what i'm writing is inaccurate, might the Lord Almighty erase it from the thoughts of folk who examine it, amen.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all face-covered coward terrorists are Muslims. The ones that are not terrorists are "yes-but" people. You face them with the facts on terrorism and their answer 500% of the time will be: "yes, but,....(and they will try to explain terrorism).
