What do you think about Muslim terrorism ?

As far as I understand it, it is against their own religion.  Therefore they are being inconsistent and hypocritical.  Mohammed was a peaceful leader and yet they blasphemed his name themselves by rising up in such a violent way to 'protect' his good name during the incident of the cartoons.  What of the fact that they have slandered the Christian icon Jesus?  Yet, they don't expect Christians to rise up against them do they?  \nOr is that what they want?  Another holy war to make life interesting?  To lose their loved ones in bitter rage in the name of religions that have both preached peace and love (in spite of admitting only one God)?\nIf it were a matter of severe oppression and humiliation it would be understandable, but still not justified in the eyes of their own religion.  But it is not.  Muslims are accepted worldwide nowadays due to religious tolerance.  They are making THEMSELVES feared and hated through their own actions.  Should others rise up against their religion in the name of their own (as of old) and try to dominate them in the name of THEIR one true God?  Perhaps this would gain a grudging respect from Muslims and matters might calm down.

Terrorism is not new.  The weapons and options of the terrorists are more powerful as society advances.\n\nThere is a little known amazing act of terrorism that occurred in Michigasn during May of 1927:\n\nhttp://www.msu.edu/~daggy/tbsd/\n\nSpeaking as a person of broad education (science and humanities, acquired on my own), I think the future will involve better education in ethics and morality and identifying and controlling potential criminals and terrorists.\n\nThere is currently great failure in both these areas.\n\nThere are too many people who are deprived of education and opportunity, but many terrorists are not from these.\n\nA terrorist is mostly a very evil person who does not know how to work for a better world.\n\nWhy don't you explore the motivations of the man involved in the Michigan incident, also a suicide, and see how it matches modern profiles, Timothy McVeigh, others.\n\nThere was a man in Colorado who drove a bulldozer around inflicting millions of dollars of damages, also killed himself.\n\nTerrorists who wish to inflict great damage while killng themselves.  Needs some good analysis.\n\nPlease study this for us.  I am already working on other things, cannot help, sorry.\n\nIt is far from being solely an Islamic fundamentalist problem.

How many terrorists have they outsted from Islam.\n\nNONE. They are Jehadis for them. Now the new meaning jehadis is terrorists. Its their own making.\n\nEvery friday prayer, the mullahs in thier speeches appreciate the work done by these terrorists. killing innocent people is what they call God's work for betterment of humanity.\n\nDid they outsted Osama bin Laden, mullah omar, al zarkhawi and host of others whose main aim is to disturbe the civilized society. if they are fighting US imperialism then why do they have to attack innocent people who have nothing to do with US administration - tourists, school children etc are thier favorite targets. they have not killed one top US official till date whose policies are considered harmful or insult to Islam.\n\nNone. Islam seems to be a religion for terrorists. In Bali, they killed tourists, in Kashmir they killed innocent hindus, in mumbai they targetted the hindu diamond merchants & stock brokers and other innocent people from different walks of life. Why the attackers are always muslims. \n\nwhat has the muslims religious leadership done to contain these terrorist activities? None. they are infact encouraging these people to carry out more such attacks. they even collect money from those who attend mosque for prayers. surprisingly most muslims are only willing to fund such acticities liberally. \n\nits upto the muslims to now get rid of this dirty terrorists. else they will get wiped out in the process and become outcasts in a civilized society.

Well, I think your idea could make sense, but it's a bit of a strech.\n\nHow do you explain that all the hijackers were Middle-Eastern and were connected with Al-Qeada? When you're fanatical enough to join a militant group that fights for your religion it's very hard to buy you off.

I don't want to see an angry terrorist. period.\n\nI don't care if he or she is muslim, christian, or a follower of the flying spaghetti monster. Angry terrorist is enough.

"Islamic terrorism is inspired by Islamic teachings. We can never get rid of Islamic terrorism unless we defeat the ideology behind it and that is Islam itself. Islam induces hate backed by lies. Muhammad was a terrorist by his own admission. All Muslims, to the extent that they follow him, are terrorists. Those Muslims who are not terrorists are ignorant of Islam. Fortunately they are the majority. We need to rescue them. If you are a good human being, you are not a Muslim. Read this site http://www.faithfreedom.org and if you can't prove me wrong, leave this deceitful cult of hate and terror and join mankind. Don't be part of the Umma. Umma is fascism. It is divisive. It induces the hatred of others. Be part of humanity instead. Your ignorance is not an excuse. Pull your head out of the sand and face the truth, like we did. \n\nFaith Freedom International is a grassroots worldwide movement of ex-Muslims and all those who are concerned about the rise of the Islamic threat. We want to bring humanity together, not by introducing yet another doctrine, which always ends up dividing mankind more, but by eliminating the doctrines that divide us. We want to abolish this evil 'Muslim vs. Kafir" dichotomy. Mankind is one family. Don't let narcissist men like Hitler and Muhammad sunder us with their big lies. Don't become the victim of the "divide and rule" policy of a psychopath. \n\nFaith Freedom stands for freedom of faith. We are against Hate, not Faith. We revere human rights not human beliefs. We endeavor to be factually correct, not politically correct. \n\nDo your part! Let this message out. Let us eradicate Islam and bring mankind together - the way God intended. Islam is the cancer of humanity. We can get rid of it. There is nothing we humans can't do. Mountains move aside to make way for those who are determined." - Ali Sina

terrorism isnt a thought, its an act. and a networked group of people who infiltrate governments and societies for the purpose of destroying other countries who they claim are against Allah.

I will admit it- I don't find the motives of terrorists to make any sense whatsoever.  It just makes no sense to me why people would want to annihilate others for living as they were meant to live.  And I will agree with you about the lack of real logic found in terrorists.  After all, they've been brainwashed from an early age in those "madrassas", and hence don't reason as other people do.  They continue to do as they've been told, without question, as they have done for many years.  Without any ability to think for themselves.

How would you know that someone is a Muslim just by looking unless you happened to see them praying?\n\nIf you want to know what I think of Muslims, I have no opinion of the ordinary Muslim. They are people just like the rest of us. It's the fanatical ones who kill in the name of Islam that bother me.

You have not asked the question well...Do you agree we should be making sure islamic terrorists are safe from harm?.... Why should they be kept safe??!!??\n\nIf you see a glint of terrorism in the eyes of a Muslim, whether he be a terrorist or not, he should be whipped. Eliminated. In fact not jsut a Muslim  - Any terrorist or with terrorist inclination.

Hey dude, I do protest these things. Search for Question post in here by a girl who said that she proud to be a Muslim. And I'm proud to be a Muslim.\n\nCompare to Muslims all over the world, how many 'the so-called 'Muslim Terrorists' are there? 100%? 10%? 1%? I even doubt it's 0.1%. \nBecause this minority we have to take the blame. Do you really think we enjoy for what they have done to us? To our religion? To our Prophet? To Our God? Think!\n\nThey bombed something, they died and buried. They shoot someone, they ran and hide. Guess who's left to take the blame? Us. And better yet, you of all people blame us. Again.\nThese things repeated all over again.\n\nFirst of all, IF THEY DO UNDERSTAND ISLAM, THEY WON'T USE VIOLENCE.\n\nSecondly, IF THEY REALLY FIGHTING FOR JIHAD, WHY WOULD THEY WEAR SOME CHEAP SKI-MASKS? Why they don't show their faces?\nI mean, they think fight for justice, then show their faces to us so that we can know they are truly or not fight for Jihad.\n\nThirdly, SUICIDE IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM. Jihad in Islam means to sacrifice your money and time for greater good. \nIt's also mean TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO PROTECT OTHERS. \nNOT TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO HURT OTHERS. \nAnd these maniacs go againsts it. They are disobey the Command of the Allah. Totally go against it.\nAnd you, again blaming the peace loving religion Islam and the good Muslims for that. \n\nWell I guess these things going to repeat until there is no good human souls left to really realize the truth.\n\nAnyway, may God and Jesus bless you so that you can understand the Real Islam. Insya-Allah.

I know this doesn't exactly answer your question, but I really must address the reply above me, because it's ridiculous: Doctorkersey, your entire post was ethnocentric and judgemental to the core. You cannot make sweeping generalizations about an entire organization like that, it is foolish and absurd. Just because a few morons blow up some buildings and call themselves Islam does NOT mean they actually are. And Islam itself does NOT promote violence; any Muslim cleric worth half a damn will tell you as such. They're scholars, which means they know more about their own damn religion than any terrorist ever will. Take your hatred and bigotry somewhere else.\n\nWhich brings me to your question, dear poster: I actually have seen a few interviews with Muslim clerics on a few news-ish programs (don't remember where, though), and they were NOT happy. This was quite soon after 9/11, so I'm guessing some of them were getting a lot of flak for simply being Muslim. They said that what the terrorists had done that day was shameful and was not in any way a reflection of Islam. I was a freshman in high school when it happened, and the next week we had a guest speaker come in and tell us about Islam; he repeated these claims as well.\n\nSo, in short, I think the best answer is probably the first commenter's; it's not that Muslim clerics aren't speaking, it's just that a lot of people aren't listening.

"It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims." Abdelrahman al-Rashid, columnist for al-Sharq al-Awsat, Saudi Arabia.\n\nI don't think we in the west consider all of the Islamic Ummah to be a threat. For instance, the Muslims of Bosnia tend to be even somewhat fond of us, since it was western countries that liberated the Kosovars and others, and kept the peace. And the west has had good relations with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan.\n\nBut there certainly is a strong militant movement within Islam, and I think we are correct to see in this a threat. Even if there are only a few hundred thousand muslims in the world who think that flying planes into buildings is a noble act, or that the guys who blew up subways with backpacks were heroes, that's still a few hundred thousand people who are willing to use violence to harm us.\n\nWe would be foolish to ignore that threat, sadly.

Depends what your argument is. and what exactly the debate is about. Good to know your oppositions points ahead of time though. Does one side want to say terrorism is good.\n\nSome say that a terrorist is just a freedom fighter, the difference is that terrorist kill innocent civillians in order to scare or terrorize the general population. Freedom fighters fight guirilla warz against the military and police.\n\nTerrorists (usually) have no unified flag and are just disgruntled individuals working on their own. It is said that there are larger groups that are working together. Your Al Qaida, kkk, skin heads, \n\nWhy do terrorists terrorize, even if not valid reasons what is their excuse. Are they oppressed, what?\n\nWhat is the govt. doing about it, at home and abroad?\n\nIs it as big a threat as some people make it seem?

The cartoon of Mohammed with a bomb on his head was totally out of line. It stereotypes Muslims, and implies that Islam is a religion of violence and suicide bombing. These generalizations are unfair and unnaceptable. Islam is a religion of peace - a way of life. There are just those who misunderstand, and those are the ones that get all the attention. There are good Muslims!\n\nI DON'T agree with the way Muslims reacted. What are they angry about? The cartoonist implied that Muslims are VIOLENT, and they reacted with VIOLENCE. That's not protest, that's proving a the cartoonist's point. And that just makes me sad...
