I don’t direct this to the individual moderate Muslims. I believe in the human rights and religious freedom of moderate Muslims. But I do this despite the fact that most of the Islamic world demonstrably refuses to reciprocate by according the same level of tolerance to Christians, Jews and Atheists- a cruel and inhuman injustice and inequality which as an advocate of religious freedom I firmly oppose

Hi MuslimRose,
Who are the Palestinians?

As I read history I see a state (Palestine) that has never existed for a people (Jordanians not Palestinians) who have never existed.
Can you give solid evidence to the contrary?
It's another BBC, UN lie.

Hi Peace, Thanks for your comment.
But it is not just 1 or 2 Muslims. It is the demonstration of the whole Islamic world AND the words from the Quran that make me ask this question.

Now From the Lebanon, you are being very dishonest. Please give the Book chapter and verse again. Otherwise I know you to be a liar. (Something the Quran permits ?)

'blue b' I've only just spoted your remark (did you edit it).. let's keep this friendly. Muslim's, like you and me, are created in the image of God and desire to be treated fairly.

Answer 1

They sure do, and only because they can, a christian would not have the same right in an Isamic country.

Answer 2

When in a society where all you have is religion, it becomes not religion. Whether it is Islam or another belief, the leaders should not be allowed to make you do their political bidding as pawns.
IF it only brings peace to your heart, then it is comfort. If you must give up your life because the leaders say so, it is evil.

Answer 3

I have no interest in islam at all. There is nothing about it that could possitvely be of any use at all. You need only look at the their holy book and then at the followers to see the way of life that no one in the islamic countries genuinly follows.
It's possitively hypocritical to the extreme.

Answer 4

I advise you not to judge Islam by it's people.

In particular when a few of you believe they consist of Arabs.

If I was to see a drunk driver driving like a manic down the streets recklessly in a top of the range sleek convertible Mercedes. Am I to blame the car of which this person has boarded or am I to blame the person who has broken every rule in the book?

I hope I dont reach within the depths of arrogance and tarnish and blatantly stigmatise a religious, ethnic or cultural group without 'educating' myself. I hope I have that integrity to see beyond the ranting of garbage TV (ie Fox news and CNN amongst many more)

Nevertheless for the one who made the remark about Muslims being Arabs.. fastest growing religion in the West particularly post 9/11 - Islam.

Answer 5

I live with a Muslim electrical engineer who is a student from Iraq, studying English writing in Maryland. He protests very little; he is grateful to be out of harm's way and to be in America...the home of the free and the brave. He likes Americans very much, but he is appalled at our bureaucracy and our lack of understanding of other cultures and religions. He is very distrustful of some groups, but Jews and Christians are not among them. If anything, he is a stoic, not a protester.

There you have it; a non-random sample of one, someone who does not match your initial impression of many, many millions of people.

Answer 6

Islam is a violent and murderous religion created out of false prophesy, and it should be banned from the north American continent, in my opinion all Muslims should be deported back to the middle east where they belong. Australia is deporting them so why are we not doing the same.

Answer 7

It is a false religion (one of many) that has trapped many people into believing that their place in heaven is based on the good they do balanced against the bad they do (or don't do) on earth to determine their worthiness to make it to heaven.

Christianity acknowledges that nothing any human (but Jesus) could ever do could be enough to earn the right to stand before God justified for our sins. By the same token, we also acknowledge that Jesus' loving act of His substitutionary death is suffficient to guarantee our place in heaven for all who will repent and believe in this "good news."

Answer 8

methinks you protest to much me lud, i suppose when everything in life that is bad is somehow geared towards islam and muslims, they have a right to protest their innocence in these times of deceit of the western christian movements, who seem to be in a quagmire of their own design as regards middle east policies and foriegn policies in other areas such as east timor and palestine, cambodia, vietnam, to name but a few, illegal wars and genocide seems to be the school of thought of western governments when it suits there purpose of the spread of "democracy" if that is what you would like it to be called, i would much rather western civilisations would get a grip of there own governing bodies and curtail the warmongers like cheney and bush and the blairs and putins of this new world order instead of trying to accuse muslims of somehow being the cause of new world disorder, i think most individuals who cant get there head around the fact that governments generally cause wars and disorder by the way they behave towards populations shouldnt really pose intellectual Qs asking for views they probably care little about and understand even less, people used to think black people protested a lot in america, i wonder if this kind of ism is just being transfered on to the muslim populations of the world by the usual deaf and blind brigade

Answer 9

Me thinks they protest too much---imagine-- another bomb explodes-- hundreds die---subsequently its established that muslim fundamentalists are responsible------ would every mosque and those who entered it feel safe? Honourable muslims have an intense responsibility to communicate and keep England safe.

Answer 10

As Awful Lawful as Holy Ghost of other impure religions,
such as ortho judaism and many demonations of x-ianity.
Yet perhaps even more suicide-all, being more legalistic.
But hey, somebody has to play "their part" in a God shew.
Of "many" who do perhaps the Muslims play it to the max.

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 11

...a false prophet named Muhammad ( descendants of Ishmael and Hagar)... this false prophet "saw" a piece of space-junk (a meteor) fall from the sky... he thought it to be "holy" (a Hebrew word, meaning separate)... this false prophet worshiped the moon god of Arabia... he could not read or write so he had his "rants" written down by "others".
It's a misguided cult and false religion... The promise of God was given to Abraham and the children of the Hebrew Nations. (not Ishmael).
