Answer 1

Christianity has a very violent past and Judaism too, but time has changed, now they are all more educated and have taken a different path. Islam is still going through their violent time. Time has not passed for them and they are still living in the Middle Ages, mostly because those are societies where most of the population has no means for higher education. The terrorist leaders know it and they are using the lack of education of the masses to subdue them into their twisted agendas. Besides, the majority is silent and silence gives assent, so those violent terrorist leaders feel safe because most Muslims fear the violent minority.

Add that to the stupidity of "political correctness" and you have a recipe for disaster everywhere.

Answer 2

It's not. Just as the Ku Klux Klan's violence cannot be blamed on all Protestants. The incidents you cited are the work of the Salafist Jihadists who want to create a Caliphate stretching from the Iberian Peninsula to Indonesia and will kill anyone who thwarts that objective because the others are living in a Jihali world and stand in the way of Dar-Al-Islam (the world of Islam). Get a copy of the book I've listed in the source section. The author is one of the co-founders of the Muslim Brotherhood in North Africa. His book is to the Salafist Jihadists what "Mein Kampf" was to the Nazis. It's been translated into English and is available through the larger book stores and their web sites.
P.S.: It's short. Only 160 pages.

Answer 3

The religon is just one cultural aspect. See the Middle East as a real mess there going through decades of turmoils.. And is getting worse. If they want to defend their religion, I can understand that. But I don't like the violence. But our policies in the Middle East I find them shameful. And I am no Muslim.

Answer 4

I believe one has to look DEEPER than the examples you've given about the World attacks done by militant Islamics. The Arab World has ALWAYS been very "tribal"- & compeditive within it's own family structure- and that's only FURTHER exaserbated- by the strong paternalistic nature of the religion. Once the Western World started taking an "interest" in the Petrolium Reserves in the area, IT because the NEW "target" of that militancy. Our Cultural values are seen as a THREAT to theirs- & they will do whatever it takes, to drive us OUT of their part of the World.

Answer 5

Just blunders and slip-ups with human errors with "The young one" getting themselves kick on the butts by the dead Mummy that ended as casualties of the dead Mummy.
The blunders and slip-ups with human errors when they could not differentiate between culture and ancestor's custom with ghostly kitchen's ghost stories and ghostly modern history of failures and horrors of the past in ghostly kitchen's dialect with ghostly and deadly words from the graveyards of different ancestor's custom in making a mess out there.

Answer 6

If anyone had to wear those sleeping gowns and towels on their heads all day and night it would cause anyone to become violent

Answer 7

If you look at history all religions have violent pasts!

Answer 8

I'm not sure the religion is all that violent... but the politics that revolve around it seem pretty damn blood thirsty for sure.

Answer 9

It's not. It's just certain people committing these acts in the name of Islam. Just like some people commit violent crimes in the name of Christianity.

Answer 10

I think that that's an over-generalization. Ever heard of the Inquest? I think almost every montheistic religion has gone through a violent phase. i think you need to be asking the question "Why do so many people do violent things in the name of God?"
