Did anyone see Panorama last night on British Muslim extremists?

Question

I have often wondered what went through the minds of the British men who bombed London, and the program gave an insight into the hate which is preached by some extremist Muslim groups.

Young Muslims. Please, please think twice before you get caught up in these groups. Check everything you are told in the Koran, and think calmly and carefully about the things you are being told. Islam is not a religion of hate and vengeance. The leaders of these groups are mislead.

You have a right to be angry at the Government for their policy over Iraq. But please understand that most British Christians are also angry about the Iraq war, and all the innocent Iraq people who have died. Muslims say that their Iraq brothers and sisters have been killed. But they are the brothers and sisters of Muslims and Christians alike. We are all part of the human race. That's why Christians have always welcomed Muslims into Britain when they wish to escape from suffering in their home countries.

Answer 1

Very well said.

However, people like "Truth Seeker" and terrorists only take parts of the Quran that suits their needs.

For example,
"Truth Seeker" is take the (War) verses from Quran to serve his purpose "Bash Islam" which makes him feel good about his religion.
Terrorists take these (War) verses from Quran to server their political war against the west.

Here is Saudi Arabia, the origin of Islam, all terrorists are prosecuted to the extent that violates personal rights. Thats how Terrorism is treated here. Clerics are condmning 9/11 and Bin Ladin on weekly basis on TV and Islamic Lectures.

Answer 2

I'm a little bored with this type of 'question'. Even though i think it is written with the best of intentions and is accurate and honest, to a point. I think that there must be an understanding that within ALL religious groups, there has always been a tiny element who will use violence and terror to 'promote' their own minority views.
The IRA, who killed thousands of innocent people in the UK for 30 years were all extremist catholics.......and yet everyone 'loves' the Irish and wouldn't dream of calling the troubles a religious war as seems to be the case with the current troubles.

Lets leave religion out of it as it is this single issue which is causing all the ill feeling and alienating religions against one another...there is good and bad in the world, always has been and always will be, irrespective of the god/s that are worshipped.

Answer 3

first of all I'm Egyptian Muslim, well said and I completely agree with you but I want to draw your attention to a very important point. You, Europians, have a deep conviction that the terroristic people are only Muslims and this is wrong. Terrorism doesn't corelate with a particular religion and you know about terroristc groups allover the world " in Irland for example" and the most terroristc people in the world, the American army, on contravers Muslims are the most peaceful people allover the world. I don't say all Muslims are alike but most Muslims are peaceful people and I have a lot of evedinces for that but this is not where we discuss this prefely. these groups are ignorant people and they don't subordinate to any religion. The conclusion is " don't stick any terroristic accident with Muslims". sorry for the language

Answer 4

How ignorant of you to tell Muslims to think about extremism. Talk about a few bad apples spoiling the bunch. If you paid any attention to that program, it said that Muslims in America are better educated than the average American. And they are of a higher socio-economic class. The reason why extremism is bad in Britain is because the majority of the Muslims living there live below the poverty line. Which is no excuse.

But come one! There`s umpteen million Muslims in the world compared to how many extremists?

Answer 5

Phrases like "you have a right to be angry" is all Muslims hear. Everything else you said was translated as " blah blah blah". Study Islam, and I assure you, you will be embaraased about this post.

What "right" are you referring to? The Quran's articulation of "rights"? If you believe in the Quran, then you believe that Muslims not only have the right to kill unbelievers, but the duty (Jihad).

Lets try rephrasing this in for rational people. All rational people have the RIGHT to be angry about Islamic war everywhere in the entire world. Rational people have the RIGHT to look at whats happening in Iraq or Phillpines or Thailand or Kashmir or Dafur, and recognize that the Jihadist violence is directly related to the doctrines of Islam.

Answer 6

the religious fundamentalists are all as bad as each other

the muslims want the jews dead and shariah law everywhere in the world

the christians in places like bible belt america want jews and muslims to create the apocalypse so that the second coming happens

on iranian TV they have cartoons for kids saying its wonderful to be a suicide bomber!

crazy the lot of em

Answer 7

Hatred and revenge is the only reason people resort to violence. You look like a good person. Thanks for sharing your views and by the way, I like Christians very much. In fact most of my friends are Christian. I'm living in a multiracial country in the east where bigotry and racism which is so common in West is not visible.
