Not my words, folks. The words of Kamal Nawash, another Muslim.
Since 9/11, the world has watched in horror as hundreds of schoolchildren were murdered in Russia by Chechen Muslim terrorists. Scores of civilians were murdered by Islamic terrorists in the Madrid train bombings. Many others have been murdered in suicide bombings in buses, restaurants and other public places, dozens have been beheaded on camera, two Russian passenger planes were blown out of the sky, and many, many atrocities that are too long to mention. All carried out by Muslims.
With all the evidence that Islam is facing a crisis, one wonders what it will take for Muslims to realize that those who commit mass murder in the name of Islam are not just a few fringe elements. What will it take for Muslims to realize that we are facing as great a crisis as any in our history? What will it take for Muslims to realize that there is a large, evil movement that is turning what was a peaceful religion into a death cult?
Unfortunately, he is right. The elephant in the room is that Moslem extremists constitute the vast majority of extremist terrorism. Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudia Arabia, Syria, Chechnya. All Moslem populations.
And we are wrapped up in a political correctness tug of war instead of addressing the issue of extremism.

Well, Islam which in translation mean Religion of Peace, isn’t being followed correctly by most muslims. Fighting isnt part of islam. Terrorism isnt part of islam. The people who believe islam is a religion of terrorism haven’t done enough research.
Any ways, all religions, if followed by orignial teachings are good religions.
But our world has currupted every religion, so we should work hard to fix that

I find it interesting you don’t wish to identify yourself. You may never see this response then.
The Koran is full of contradictions. Where you and other Muslims claim that Islam teaches peace toward non-Muslims by citing the Koran:
You also find the following text in the same Koran and even in the same book within the Koran:
And:
It seems to me that the deception is imposed on the “majority of peaceful Muslims” because (it would seem) it is you being led astray by your own people.

Good salesmanship there Rod… you’ve done nothing to convince me except spit a few salesy lines out to me. If I’m a consumer going to buy a car and I look at the 2006 Mustang (yum yum) and then I read a consumer report that says it fails every crash test (hypothetical… I have no idea) then what am I going to believe. The evidence as it is presented on paper and documented, or the word of the guy who works for Ford?
In other words, you can give me all the shit in the world about “Islam means peace”, but I turn on the TV, I surf the net (including Islamic sites) and see nothing but vile bloodshed from Moslems, what am I to believe… let’s get real. If you expect me (or anyone else) to buy into the notion that “Islam is Peace”, then you andc all your other peaceful Moslem friends better start policing your own selves. Maybe then the world will believe you. If not, well, you decide…

I spent 2 years of my time in the Navy studying Arabic and the middle eastern cultue. I was taught 8 hours a day, 5 days a week by instructors from Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Turkey. My instructors were Muslim aside from one Coptic.
The American perspective on Muslim society is pretty generalized; it seems to be dictated by what we see in the news or in movies. This is so wrong. Muslim society is like any other religious society or society in general. We all have our bad seeds. We CAN’T generalize against them as a whole though.
When our soldiers humiliated and abused prisoners, did that mean our military as a whole encouraged that? NO. And, we cant assume nor accept that the Muslim society encourages the attacks against the West.
I’ve met numerous muslims and they have ALL been good people. They may not agree with what we do or think a lot of the times, but they accept it and they get on with their lives. My instructors led very different lives, but they welcomed us into their homes, eager to share their beliefs and culture with us. It is one of the most peaceful religions in the world. More so than Christianity believe it or not.
My husband is an advisor to the Iraqi Army. He works with Iraqi Muslims every day. They accept him and he them. They have formed a true bond and comraderie.
This war is not and should not be us against Muslims and the more we think that it is, the harder the job to win is.

Unfortunately, Sara, that is what this war is about - not in a jihad sense where Americans need to fight anyone who worships Allah and reads the Koran, but in the sense that (as I said in the entry) the elephant in the room is that the terror being perpetrated (I’m not even talking about Iraq!) is being perpetrated by Moslems. Not Sikhs. Not Taoists. Not Jews. Not Mormons. By Moslems. 9/11. 3/11. 7/7. All Moslem Perpetrators. Let’s not forget that in order to give a pat on the back.
