A Question For Muslims!

My dear i am from Pakistan and a muslim i am condemning and sharing the grief and mourn in various posts since morning.

I found a comment on my discussion by a Muslim and it was so outrageous that I have deleted it. I hope it was only an isolated case, because this one wrote that we are all corrupted and this is what we deserve.

I hate it when they generalize Muslims. Not all Muslims are terrorists. I am not a Muslim but I used to have Muslim officemates and they are very friendly and peace loving.

I am not a muslim. I have no religion that I believe in except one - Love and Humanity. Whatever happened in Paris (and in other parts of the world - the acts of Terrorism) - I am sure, no religion teaches hate and killing innocent and unarmed helpless people. It is just that some brainless people are following Morons who call them the Guardians of Law. Whatever be the reasons cited by those who do these Terror things, these can never be justified on any ground - even an eye for an eye thing - as if we all start believing in this, the world would have been blind by now.

I hope we hear from some Muslims. My Muslim co-workers are just folks. But I do wonder if some Muslims are afraid to speak out against Jihadists because of the level of violence perpetrated by these so-called "Muslim" terrorists.

@owlwings, Well I am still not against any community.You can say I belong to no religious community. Though school/college form consists of a mandatory option to be filled as Religion. If you haven't listened to any of the speech then I will request you to listen one. When you listen them talking you will laugh at their speeches. I don't know why they bring god-allah in their speeches . Well none of gods whoever it is ,god- allah-jesus-krishna, has said to kill people and while killing others if they die then they will get place in heaven. Heaven ? Seriously ? Never mind. I still wish if weapons were not invented and there was no word like kill-killing-Murder in dictionary.

You might not have seen me condemning the attack... I find it of no use now. This is an open discussion forum and people should be allowed to say what they feel, as long as they observe proper decorum. Big ! Though my decorum includes being highly agitated.

I am an atheist,but I have the impression that they all persuade people to practise philanthropy in various creeds.It is beyond me why those who claimed to be Muslims would create Paris' incident where so many defenceless people were slaughtered.I agree with you ,the real Muslims should come to their Muslims' defence and uphold justice at the moment .

I'm Christian @Owlwings. A complication that exists with many Muslim's is that religion becomes a integral part of everyday life, family, even dress. Politics and commerce are all part of being Muslim. I don't agree @Asylum in your well thought out comment as my view is that all men should judge what others do and be prepared to be judged. Religion in the history of mankind has always been misused and so not to mention God is leaving religion out of religious actions. Belief's should not be left out if it is a purely religious question. In this case, I think religion is very much a part of it. Men have declared "a holy war." The words of Mohammed are being misused to fuel animosity in this war. "isis the infidel" is presenting to the world that Allah is only about their hatred. It is therefore not enough to condemn attacks but to condemn the men that are offending Allah to make such a declaration. Therefore Muslim's can not only condemn attacks but also condemn isis for disrespecting Allah. They can honour Allah this way in public or in prayer. It is their faith that should allow them to do so.

It was just Religion of Peace acted as peaceful activity, nothing else. They will do, they will condemn, nothing new.

I have studied Islam and the Qu'ran and nowhere in its past or its teachings does Islam condone the kind of killing that took place in Paris or Friday nor the methods of ISIS anywhere they operate. ISIS is a gangrenous growth that must be amputated from the body of humanity.

Same here.Love to hear from them.Why is this happening.

See it's never like a caste is bad .It's created by humans .It just separates us .So don't go on caste.

There have been many muslim clerics and heads of state condemning the attacks. The Imran from one of the biggest mosques in France came forward condemning the attacks as well as leaders from other Muslim countries. The problem is the media doesn't seem to cover it very much. You can find them all online though. The Q'uaran definitely does not condone this sort of behaviour. I am not Muslim but have read into the religion quite a bit in recent years and it clearly states that ' any man who kills an innocent is as though he has killed all of mankind' It is a peaceful religion but just as many religions have been before it, it is being twisted by a minority to commit atrocities. x

It always boils down to one thing, whose religion is THE ONE. There is so much history about Christians slaughtering those who were not, Muslims slaughtering those who were not, ancient Romans slaughtered Christians because they couldn't conceive of a single God, Catholics slaughtering Protestants because they dared go against papal rule and the list goes on and on. Humanity does not learn and keeps trying to force their religion on those who do not believe as they do, it's always tragic. If only we wouldn't teach children any kind of religion then let them choose when they are old enough, do you suppose that would solve the problem?

Following this discussion...

I know many Muslims and all of them are shocked and sickened by the attacks.

I am about to peruse through your responses to see if you got any answers

We are humans first. rest are second

Basically, people are people! I know for a fact that there are many Muslims who are horrified by acts of terrorism, and many Muslims have become the victims of such attacks. (Remember Ahmed Merabet after the Charlie Hebdo attack?) I have heard ignorant and extremist views expressed by Christians about Muslims on many occasions. Irrationality and violence is not confined to one religion, and people interpret the Bible, as well as the Koran, to suit themselves upon occasion.
