Do you equate Islam with Terror?

YOu mean meat eating? I can agree with you on that. Violence begets violence. That is why I am a vege. I do not support any type of animal killing or contribution to causing to kill.

Actually not some, many of them are. But, I dont blame the religion for that.

Thank you for your comment. I will say that if one goes by the surveys or the last names of the terrorists, then most of them ahev islamic or muslim names. Howevever as you rightly said, those that are killing innocents are actually not muslims because they are not following the basic tenets. But this is a big issue now. I hope for the peace on this world, people amicably solve these issues. Killing or wars wont do that. Thanks again.

JIHAD is not what the terrorists say. JIHAD, as prophet Mohammed said, is, to reform ones own self, so that he cud become close to ALLAH and liked by Allah. but its not killing women, children, innocent people. u know what pr.Mohammed taught his disciples when they went to war? "dont kill women, dont kill children and old people. dont burn trees." if so, CAN THE PRESENT DAY TERRORISM BE CALLED JIHAD ? i am a muslim but i dont agree with the present day concept of jihad. i totally disagree and hate those who wage war in the name of jihad

thank you fun freak for ur comment. I coudl nto agree with you more.Awesome response. You get a +

I agree with you. Thanks for your response. Blame the crime not the religion of the person who comits it. thats the motto:)

indeed answers , give me best response

I already made that point in the beginning. But my question was what is the stand that people generally take? Surely peopledont ignore the fact that a overwhelmingly vast majority of terrorits are muslims. A point may be that they are not ctually following Islam, that many people like to make. My point is that muslims in general shoudl disown these people. And not have any sort of sympathy whatsoever so such lousy creatures. Thanks for the post.

who says that muslims have sympathy for terrorists.. i think its media who isnt bringing the facts in front.. Take into consideration abt 9/11 attack,,america said we found proofs that Al Qaida was behind all this,,why wasnt the proofs presented all around the world,,if alQaida had done that,,they should have taken responsibility for attack,,but they denied it.. these groups tale responsibility for small small things then why decline this?? Also Iraq,, What was d outcome?? Total destruction of whole nation..foud nothing.. Sympathy comes naturally but it isnt related with islam or terrorists,,everyone hates Terrrorism,no one wants 2 loose the loved ones

True. But lets be real here. I have all respect for many of muslims I know who are very friendly and innocent. However we cannot be too goody goody and close our eyes to the fact that an overwhelmingly large number of terrorists call themselves as muslims. So whats the reason for that. I believe compassionate muslims have a role to play here.

That is true. Much as one would like to say that all are same, reality is not that. But, let us not forget that it is due to fanatic teachings in madrasas and not due to the tenets of Islam. Yes, there is need to bring these terror preachers in madrasas to book.

More to the point, you don't see Christians practice because they couldn't care less about their religion! Secularisation has swept through Christianity to the detriment of society. Islam is a more practical faith and so evokes more emotional responses but still jihad is a struggle for one's religion - not killing innocent people which is haraam.

For chineseroom and everyone want to seek real truth, http://www.yvonneridley.org/ Yvonne ripley was a feminist,an English journalist who has been captured in Afghanistan but soon reverted to islam after 30 months studying the Quran.

There issome truth in what you are saying. Yes, numbers will give you that type of message. But numbers arean as*. The doctrine itslef (I dont know much of that) cannt be blamed for thpose who misunderstand and are actually made fanatics by some ignorant ulemas.

Wow!.. now thats a new perspective. If I take that I will say there are lots of peopel who ahve turned away from islam. Thanks for your post.

You are right. Thank you for your response. Awareness will take some time. Woulds will heal with time. It is difficult for common people to think without bias.

I am sure that what youa e saying is true. But the point stll is that we need more than 'not agreeing'. We need condemnign i strongest possible words. Be it radical Muslims, radial christian or radical anything.

I agree with you. Most islamic nations are relatively doing poorly in literacy. I am sure that is one reason if not a significant one atleast it plays some part. A poor man can always be manipulated by miscreants.
