DId it ever occur to anyone that when the threats against various countries including my own, the USA, were made, that the crazy extremists did not target religions? Did it ever occur to anyone that we, the Muslims who do live in peace and live honest lives, are also their target and they'd kill anyone of us given the chance? Or do you only concentrate on those of your religion and blame all of us for what that idiot is pulling?

sweetheart , one of the parents at my kids school is a lovely Muslim man
he had a wonderful life back home , he was a gemologist and had a very comfortable life
until his home was invaded
he had to take his wife and two beautiful boys and run ... leaving everything behind
I do not forget that Muslims are caught up in this nonsense and loose a lot in their life also as a result of terrorism

My friend, I agree with you...I only wish that more Muslims would speak out against the extremists. It is mostly silent..I am a Christian and if all of a sudden we became terrorists and starting flying planes into buildings, strapping bombs on us and walking into crowded market places and killing innocent bystanders, I would rise up with my Christian brothers and sisters and shout from the mountain top, that THIS IS WRONG AND THIS IS NOT CHRISTIANITY! Where is the Muslim outrage?????
If there is a fight to fight, then do it on the battle field, not against the innocent.
Final question, do you believe that Muslims have the freedom in ANY Islamic country to be on a website such as this expressing their opinions? You know the answer, NO!
And that my friend is what makes our Country the Great!
I may not agree with you, but I would defend your right to voice your opinion. You could and would not do the same for me in an Islamic Country. "GOD BLESS AMERICA"

I realize that. Sorry to tell u this but it seems like history is repeating itself. Remember how it world war 2 in America the Japanese were put in interment camps that hasn't happened to today it's the same pejudece thinking like right now folks are still being foolish in thinking it's the religions fault rather then the human being's fault. Folks back in then thought all Japanese were to blame, I saw one poor lady who had relatives die in 9/11. She was rambling that all Muslems were terrists. I just hope that woman right is getting the right kind of therapy from a pshycologist.
People are people and I guess one person can't change the whole world but what u can do is be a good person and change the very few folks that u can.

I have argued as much on this forum.
The vast majority of victims of terrorist bombings in the ME are muslims. The various militias and gangs over there are at least as much anti-Shiite/Sunni as they are anti-American military. This detail is not given very much press for whatever reason.
I do feel, however, that the extremist elements of Islam should have been marginalized a long time ago instead of allowed to get into power. In the US, we also have our Christian version of violent militants, but they are small, isolated, and watched carefully--and almost never voted for except in the most isolated communities.
Now their madness has spread internationally.

They dont realize that. They just want all us liberal muslims to stand up against the extremists and get killed so they can live a peaceful life. They are as ignorant as the next guy.

We have a very active inter-faith group where I live. Some of our services include sermons by all faiths; some of them are interchanges between pastors/rabbis are their respective congregations.
We have many inter-faith charitable organizations, working together at soup kitchens, and providing churches, synagogues, and mosques for beds during the winter.
We don't paint all Muslims with the same brush! Please ask your leaders to write articles for publication in the local media renouncing extremist terrorism!

Ya Salam Alaikum Sister I pray for you 5x a day as we say "WE".
Yes, there is great oppression made not by Allah SWT.
"I have never overburden you with more than you can handle" for you only overburden yourselves with what you deside to grab from the shards of the fire. There is ropes from heaven here also, they are easier to hang onto than any other shards that will cut you.

I realize it. I would think that would be even more motivation for the peaceful muslims to explain how peaceful Islam is to the terrorists, but for the most part I don't see that happening.
There is this video, hopefully it will have some effect:

True.
I wish people could realize what's happening with Muslims in Iran, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Kashmir.

I don't. But I think Europe has a real problem this way. That the Muslims there are unassimilated and radical. It is different in North America.
