I am so sick and tired of the people claiming that Muslims are terrorists. There are bad seeds in every religious group that does not mean the whole religion is bad I feel bad for my friends that are scrutinized because of their religion I'm so upset I want to scream at the top of my lungs .

You have won our hearts by speaking for us,, I am Muslim and i am proud if it,, it really hurts when someone treat Muslims badly just because they are Muslim is there any religion in which there are no bad people every religion has good and bad people and Terrorist who are playing with the lives of the people are not Muslim they are just using religion to get their benefits Islam means Peace and it never teaches any Extremism or terrorism Our Prophet and our Ancestors always treated everyone equally you can see this in history that Muslim don't kill innocent people even during War , Soldiers were taught not to kill any child, women are someone who surrender, then how can a Muslim someone who are peaceful these terrorist are just a shame for humanity

I agree not everyone is a terrorist and people can be of any religion they choose. The reason perhaps people are on edge is all the terrible conditions around terrorism today. - @babaraimc really nice comment Here is an crude question however on the Muslim faith. Perhaps someone can answer this for me. It is not meant to be disrespectful. Please don't take it as such. Question - What is with the words I read that go something like.. Mohammed has said Allah has spoken, all people not worshiping Allah should be killed? - I'm a Christian.

You have been helpful @babaraimc Please, I didn't quote I was trying to explain things I have read in a simplistic way. I think this is important for me to understand, not just what Islam is saying but what Allah might say. Would it be safe to declare the following? all those claiming to tell others to go kill the infidel in a holy war are an obscenity in the eyes of Allah

This is not true,, there is no Saying like this,,, Muhammad (S.A.W) always taught everyone to treat everyone equally, When Mecca was conquered, everyone was forgiven except those who chose to fight, There are many verses in Quran and Hadees which tells us to behave equally with everyone HE said: ""Beware! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority, curtails their rights, burdens them with more than they can bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment." (Abu Dawud)" on another occasions HE said If any Muslim killed a Muahid (i.e. non-Muslim living in Muslim land with agreement) then he (Muslim) shall not even smell the fragrance of Paradise although the fragrance of Paradise would have been perceived from the distance of travelling for 40 years [Sahih Bukhari, Volume No. 3, Hadith # 2995] there are many more examples of such saying

I request you people to know a little bit about Islam from any authentic source you want then you will know that Islam never gives permission to do any sort of killing or extremism

I so agree with you. I might understand the fears and insecurities, but if they would take the time to compare these things with the things we have going on here (which they tend to ignore because it requires a condemnation of those behaviors), they'd see the parallels. These terrorists are no more true Muslims than the KKK members (and others who are glorifying the killing of those they believe are sinners) are true Christians.

I wholly agree with you. I donĀ“t understand how can anyone in his sound mind think for a second that a lot of peoplhave to be responsible for what a few fanatics do.

I agree with you. Too many people want to blame the religion instead of the person behind it. Not everyone agrees with the way some religions go, but for every bad person in a religion there are two that are good. My veterinarian is Muslim, and he is one of the most kindest person I've met. I've also met a very kind Muslim lady when I worked at Wal-mart. Too many times we get caught up in the lies we are fed by other people. It's utterly disgusting.

What a lot of people do not realize is that Muslims are being slaughtered by these terrorists -- because they are of a different brand of Islam. These terrorists don't just want the world converting to Islam, they want the world to convert to their brand, and their brand only of Islam. One of my favorite singers is Richard Thompson, and he's a Muslim, but the ISIS people would behead him because he's a peaceful, personal, "you worship your way and I'll worship mine" Muslim. There IS a difference. It's like people claiming that all 2 billion or so Christians on earth are like those ten hate mongers at the Westboro "Baptist" "church" in Kansas. However, that is part of the problem: the media has long presented "all Christians" as being like the fundamentalists like Jerry Falwell or the attention-seeking people who the news reporters falsely present as "typical Christian." These extremists don't believe in the religion they claim to represent anymore than an atheist does. They're just using it as an excuse to butcher, rape, and mutilate.

It sucks but it scares people they stereotype/profile its to help people feel safer to be more aware. Terrorist are any person of any faith or race who uses terror as a means to force their dominion over the weaker people. However the last major attacks here were unfortunately performed by people who happen to be of muslim faith.
