Thank you Dr. Zakir for proving how they are wrong!

Watch the video. I can tell you haven't.

Answer 1

I agree, it's propaganda.

My view in simple words:

America wants power and money, Iraq = Oil.
Bush needed a plan to make the people of america think that muslims are BAD, EVIL, TERRORISTS with NUCLEAR BOMBS.

It's very smart to bomb your own WTC.
People WILL think Muslims are evil.
People WILL join the army, to fight TERRORISM! (?)
And so the plan works. The people behind bush aren't dumb.

It worked. And what do we have now?

Muslim-hate.
People think ALL Muslims are terrorists.
People say the Koran says terrorism is a good thing.
People don't know, that the Bible also is full of ****.
People can't say anything against this, because they haven't read the Koran, and they never did research about the Bible.

I can, because I did, and if people want to argue with me, please send me an email, and stop Answering questions without knowing exact what you are saying.

Have a nice day!

Answer 2

All is used a bit to much...you can't paint everyone with the same paint brush. There are probably some women Muslims who don't think they have a mandate to kill anyone who is not a Muslim but I'll be willing to bet, most male Muslims don't feel the same way. When you ask them, they beat around the bush about it, so I'm thinking in their heart, they are happy when non Muslims are killed. Sort of like, good riddance....I hope I am wrong. There is a program called "God's Warriors" on tonight about Muslims...I watched it last night...it is a three part special...I don't expect Christians to be treated fairly tomorrow night because is on Liberal CNN and they trash us all the time. They bend over backwards to show Muslim in a good light so it will probably be a good whitewash of them.

Answer 3

The media reports attacks by terrorists who happen to be Muslims. If that offends you, then don't watch it but you know most terrorist acts are done by Muslims. Truth hurts. Is not bigotry is just reporting what is going on in the world.

Answer 4

HUH? Are you saying that all the news stories about terrorist attacks perpetrated by Muslims who claim to be following the will of Allah are false...that someone just made up the stories about Muslim involvement in 9/11 and other recent (and less recent) terrorist incidents?

Please don't think that I believe all Muslims are terrorists. I'm well aware that many, perhaps even most, don't participate in terrorist activities. But since when did the media ever devote much attention to stories about decent, happy people just living their lives. The media focuses on the unusual, the "news" stories that emphasize extraordinary people and events, and, like it or not, stories about bad things more than good things. How often do you see a story in the national enquirer (or even in a serious newspaper) that talks about the decent/good/normal life lived by a celebrity...no, they focus on the "sensational"...you don't hear stories about all the children that go to bed with their belly fully, you hear about the children that go to bed hungry (or neglected or unloved or abused or anything else negative).

I don't believe the media (as a whole) tries to portray all Muslims as terrorists (though some individuals in the media do)...most simply report the news when some radical group of Muslims (or abortion-clinic bombing Christians, or any other group or individual that commits acts of unspeakable violence in the name of religious beliefs) do something shocking that people want to hear about.

I'm unwilling to blame the Islamic faith/religion for the radical actions and words of some of the people who claim to be practicing it...something about "casting the first stone"...I'm well aware of the terrorism committed by people in the name of Christianity throughout history too...it isn't my responsibility (or yours) to carry blame for other people who claim the same faith but clearly fail to practice some of the essential foundations of that faith (unless we're ignorant enough to accept the word of people whose words aren't consistent with their behavior and follow them anyway)!!

Answer 5

Well, personally I don't think all muslims are terrorists. But other people I know do. I think it's because of 9-11, and people are just afraid it might happen again so they single out the people of that faith and acuse them to make them selves feel better. It is very cruel, I know. But the way Saddam Hussein twiste the Islamic religion to his will, made people think that's how the whole religion was. And I am sure if people took the time to learn about the Islamic religion, people would not say things like that. And believe me I know how you feel, yours isn't the only religion acused of something so stupid.

Answer 6

The Qu'ran proclaims its political purpose. The Intercession of The Martyrs commands terrorism and murder of any man, woman, or child who is not Islamic. The Imams in their mosques and on their websites and during interviews unequivocally state that they are not only allowed but are commanded to lie, steal, cheat, and murder any who is not of the Muslim faith.

If anything the MAJORITY of the global media downplays, if not for the most part omits the detailed truth about Sharia Law, about The Qu'ran, and about The Intercession of Martyrs and the purpose of Hudnas made with any who are not of the Muslim faith.

Answer 7

Probably because not enough mainstream muslims speak out against terrorism perpetrated by muslims. Case in point, when 9/11 happened, muslims all over the world celibrated in the streets. I did not see or hear a single muslim leader say "hey, this is wrong, and we as muslims mourn the death of those murdered".

Answer 8

Well, Smiley Man, the media reports the news and when certain religious fanatics ARE terrorists the media reports it.

When will peace-loving Muslims help stop these criminals who are causing everybody harm?

Answer 9

Not all Muslims are terrorists.

Not even all terrorists are Muslims.

However, when it comes to high-profile attacks against civilian populations for political gain, you can't deny that those claiming Islam as their faith currently dominate the world stage.

Answer 10

It's not that all Muslims are terrorists... but most terrorists today are Muslims. Or at least profess to be Muslims in a Jihad.
