I studied religion and theology. I have many friends who are of various religions, whom I met in college and grad school.
Where do you uneducated people get the idea that Muslim religion is any harsher that a practicing religous Christian, Jew, or Morman?
.001% of Muslims around the world are terrorists.
In most Arab countries, such as Lebonon, Jordan, Palestine, Yemen, etc, etc. There is NO Islamic law. There are normal people like the rest of us, who enjoy music and dancing. I visited Lebonon and had a blast!
The media has fed you with only the bad countries, Saudi and Afganistan.
Did this lesson teach you folks anything? Or are you still Bigots?

Don't take this wrong. I am only wondering why people use the whole Muslim world as scapegoats for the terrorism that is happening.
Lets show some respect for people who share our planet, and target only those human beings who specifically have done wrong.
The US and Israel are responsible for a lot of what is wrong today. We need more compassion for differences, and to stay out of peoples business.

Jeremy R, like I said I studied and been around enough to have experience talking with many different people. You don't even know any Muslims to think that is what it teaches.
You are uneducated.

niccolassrage - I see where you get your name from. I'm 42, and I graduated from a good University. I can be smug as I want.
Truth hurts? You are a bigot. I am only stating facts.

I know that the Koran only allows violence in self-defense. The Islamic terrorists are twisting and perverting the Koran and are not really faithful to Islamic doctrine.

Read "The Politically Incorect Guide to Islam", unless you are finished "studying".
The fact is, there are good people in this world, and there are bad people. If a good person is a Muslim, then they will most likely be a good person. However, the teachings of Islam promotes many violent laws and acts.
Now, wipe the smug "I'm 19 and took a religion class, so I know all" look off your face, and look into both sides of an issue.

So what ??? does this mean I should like them ,? NO ...does this mean I have to trust anyone at all ?..NO
does this mean I have to treat them with love ,and kindness ? NO NO and NO ...I do not care if they ride a john deere , a hooker , or a camel , I do not care what they wear , it can be a suit ,and tie , Jeans and t-shirt , a dress or a robe , I trust people based on how I see them , and their trust worthiness , and No One can tell me , you have to accept this or all of them as a way of life , I do not have to accept nothing I do not wish to accept , There are good ,and bad in all back grounds , does it make me a bigot , because I do not hang out with a Muslim , NO it means I have nothing in common with them , so why waist my time pretending to care when I really do not .....
As far as respect , or showing respect , you are the one who is uneducated , because my friend ..respect is earned , not given. You may have book smarts which is ok , I know plenty of high society book smart people , they do not know how to change a light bulb , and they think all the middle aged women in short shorts and tank tops in the parking lot of abandoned stores are just waiting for friends ....( by the way they are crack whores ) just in case you were wondering ...
I do not trust any stranger , so why would I respect him , until he has shown he is worth of respecting ....

Islam is a peaceful religion for most of it's followers but there are still hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Islamofascists that would gladly cut your throat and throw your child down a well. You say that .001% of Muslims are terrorists. That may be true but that tiny percentage is enough to destroy all of us.
You're sane, not a bigot, if you understand that radical Islam is the problem.

why do people confuse Islamic terrorism with Islam?
And why when Muslims fight for their freedom is it all conglomerated into Jihadist Fundamentalism.
Are Western Christians the only ones who aren't to be painted with the same brush?

So the Sufi I've known for the past eleven years who lives on Bali is lying when he tells me the threat from Islamic terrorism is very real?
Is he an Uncle Ishmael Muslim?
Stop being an apologist for the murderers.

I think religion in general is a good thing, whether its Muslim, Christian, Jewish, etc..
Most religions teach values of love, compassion for your fellow man, and other important values. However, it takes man to mess up something as perfect as God's (or Allah's or whoever else's) words. They get twisted, manipulated to one point of view.
