[Ismail]

http://www.loonwatch.com/2010/01/not-all...e-muslims/

so why the media talks a lot about Islamic terrorism and ignoring the other types that are the most ?
and why they are judging all Muslims because what some of them did ?
is that a new racism against Muslims ?

Because you live in a Christian country, therefore they will always try to portray themselves as victims and Muslims as evil, and the reverse happens in Islamic countries

loonwatch is an islamic website, no wonder it's spouting lies about the source of terrorism

[publius]

You're probably right. 'Think of all the treaties that our government has violated, and remember the Trail of Tears.

Islamist radicals are not the only ones who have tortured and murdered women and children.

Every so often you will hear about acts of Jewish terrorism toward the Palestinians, and acts of inter-Christian terrorism in North Ireland between the Catholics and the Protestants. Non-religious-based terrorism happens but not as often (political terrorism, primarily)... Timothy McVeigh, for instance.

Just seems the biggest and most organized groups that go after bigger and more vague targets than a stated enemy happen to be on the Islamic side. Most other terrorists have a defined target.

the statistics used by loon watch, which are quoted by many people, are manipulated and seriously outdated. These are FBI statistics between 1980 and 2000. There hasn't been a Jewish act of terrorism in the United States since the 1980s, and there has been a boom of Islamic terrorism since the year 2001. So the report used by loon watch is outdated and does not address today's terrorism. Who cares about the terrorism of the 1980s? I'm sure if you look 100 years ago you would say that Irish-Americans were the biggest terrorists. The present is most important.

Muslims are not the only terrorists, but pointing out other's acts of terrorism doesn't justify Islamic acts of terrorism. The correct reaction would be to admit it and take steps to minimise the occurrences of Islamic terrorism. The saddest thing is that most victims of Islamic terrorism are other Muslims, which the world seems to ignore.

No such thing as terrorism in Islam. Maybe your childish imagination. Your so cute when you say that. Funniest joke i have ever heard from your Obamas kid. If Obamas is Jew, he is the prettiest Jew i have ever seen. The rest look like pigs raised them from poop. They have silly magician hats and long stupid beards.

I know Obamas has a big head like a jack-a** but his face looks better than other disgusting Jews. But still, he has a big butt and always looks like a cute childish girl when he speaks. Your so funny, keep it up.

be it as it may , they are not judging all muslims , they and we are judging radical muslims and the misinterpretation of the koran for use and justification to murder , bludgeoning , beheading , and blowing up of innocent people around the world because these innocent people are considered infidels that don't follow their ways of religion or thinking hense radicle show no tollerance or acceptance of people that are different . these muslims are barbaric and just as demonic as Hitler was . the problem is that many non violent muslims are not exactly protesting against what the violent muslims are doing" either" through fear of retaliation ,speaking out or for the possible fact that they are somewhat on the side of the violent muslims but in a silent capacity . it has been said that muslims cannot be trusted because of this silence. you are either for or against and if you are against then in large numbers muslims should be protesting against such brutality as it gives them a bad name ,

Holy war, suicide bombings, fighting for faith, and killing in the name of God — from Crusaders to terrorists, from sacred shrines to New York City, history is tainted by a grave disease afflicting humankind. While all the known religions of the world call for LOVE, PEACE, TOLERANCE, FREEDOM OF BELIEF AND MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING, many of the terrorists’ acts are committed in this world by people who call themselves religious, and attribute their horrendous and evil acts to the religion. However, God condemns their acts in the scripture. The true religion of Islam forbids the killing of innocent people, irrespective of the cause—religious, political or social beliefs. This is stated in the Quran, the holy book of Muslims.

[Quran 6:151] “...You shall not kill — GOD has made life sacred — except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, that you may understand.”

The laws of the scriptures that apply to the Christians and Jews are repeated and emphasized for the Muslims also.

[Quran 5:32] “...we decreed for the Children of Israel that anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. And anyone who spares a life, it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people. ...”

All Religions Condemn Terrorism

The religion of Islam should not be confused with what these terrorists have done. The terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaida who kill innocent people are actually, by the definition of the Quran, not Muslims, but plain murderers. Who would like to describe Hitler or the likes of Ku Klux Klan as good Christians? We should not let our emotions overcome our logic and understanding. There is no religious scripture that does not condemn terrorism. Every righteous person in any religion would condemn such actions regardless of terrorist’s race, country or religious background.

True Islam

What is the ideal of Islam? Islam is not a name that defines you as better than your neighbor or rewards you a special status with God. The name itself is an Arabic word derived from the meaning to surrender or submit. Islam is submission to God’s will. It is a way of life that guides your actions and forms your character. Islam is a state of awareness and appreciation of God’s boundless attributes. As your soul submits, you are able to practice the meaning of peace, compassion, love, forgiveness, and charity that originate from one Source. The shades of superiority, prejudice and judgment fade as the world comes into focus with the eyes of your soul. In Islam, the best among us in the sight of God is not the white or the black, the male or the female, a person who calls himself or herself Christian, Jew, or Muslim, but rather, the one who is the most righteous.

Islam or Submission to God alone is a way of life encouraged from the time of Abraham by Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, messengers who have followed Abraham. The one who is able to surrender the soul is called a Muslim in Arabic, or Submitter. There are Submitters to the Creator in every faith. They are those who place no limits on their belief in the Unseen and impose no judgments on the different forms of striving towards attaining God’s mercy. This common striving encourages unity within a diverse group of people who advance their personal strides by learning from one another.

Righteous People in All Religions

Thus, the love of God is not reserved for people of religious sects or denominations that cling to an exclusive belief of guaranteed “salvation.” God’s infinite love flows to the charitable, righteous, benevolent, equitable, and the just: Those who recognize their accountability and work towards being good.

[Quran 2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who believes in GOD, and believes in the Last Day, and leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
