murders are everywhere, under the name of god or allah or christ or yahweh or war or peace. to me there is no justified crime, its all murder.

terrorism (the word itself is so broad) it cannot just be directed to muslims ... there are many other people that are not muslims and do not live in that territorry that are probably more against this definition of terrorism.... what kind of terrorism? against the US?

They are religious extremists not terrorists. That's why.

I'm not sure that's true. Timothy McVeigh wasn't a terrorist, nor were Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (the Columbine shooters), and none of the white supremacists (KKK, Nazis, etc.) are. Also, the ETA (Basque independence) weren't, nor the IRA (Irish Republican Army), nor are any of the groups in South America, like Shining Path in Peru, or FARC and the rest in Columbia. Oh, and also those Aum guys in Japan, that set off that Sarin nerve gas attack afew years ago. I could keep going, but I think you get the point.\n\nMuslim terrorists are obviously more in the news, but that doesn't mean most terrorists are muslim, it simply means that most terrorists you hear about are muslim.

It is true that most of the terrorists,thives,dacoits are  muslims.It is the fault of their religious leaders because they used to spread  violence in the name of their religion.

I believe that the holy quaran has some good priciples, but some things I can not believe.  I believe that ANY human 'claiming'whether islamic or christian can be a terrorist. There is a bunch of bad apples everywhere you look, just as there are good apples. I have nothing against Muslim, their religion, or the Quran.  I do have a problem with terrorist, whether they claim to be religous or not.

Terrorists have no religion. The Islam does not teach terorism. But when some Muslim commits a terror-like crime and kills others and the Islam does not condemn it, on the contrary idolizes it, the Islam becomes a terrorist religion. The scriptures are carrying the  message of peace and love for humanity.

Muslims are fine. I think, like any religion. It is the extremist that have interpreted the religion incorrectly that concern me. Which most Muslims will tell you they are concerned about people who are like that also.

No there are moslems that are peaceful law abiding folks. However there are those that are terroist also. Same with us though, I look at the shock and awe part of the war with Iraq as nothing more the terrorism.

Terrorism is not spacific to religion.  All people are capable of terrorism.

It depends Islam has different branches too.\nAnd they are all different. Just like Christianity. Look At Ireland.\nBut main cause of terrorism is social when they do not have jobs and lost their families at war people are very sensitive and hurt they tend to turn in to the religion and there comes the mullah who use the religion for the power and money and brain wash these people.\nSo not all muslims are terrosits. \nBut I came from middle east and i think those wars will never end till the end of the time.\nI am a Muslim but the good gave people some common sense to use as well.\nIf god is going to send me to the heaven with those hijackers. I would prefer to go to the hell.

I believe there is.\n\nI also believe the so-called "peaceful" Muslims that do not speak out against terrorism are part of the problem.

because the majority of terrorist attacks are commited by muslims and since most muslims dont condemn terrorism openly that is why ppl think muslims = terrorists...and btw as much as ppl hate bush (and yes i dont agree with alot of his actions) he is right about the war on terror...there is no reasoning with zealots...the majority of terroristic acts are created in the name of allah and the whole goal of most muslism extremists is not the removal of non muslims out of muslim holy land but the expansion of the muslim religion throughout the world...quite like the crusades...muslim people need to realize if they want their religion to be heard by the masses they need to deounce violence and speak out againts the extremists

MUSLIMS r not terrorists. Say that terrorists r muslims. This is beacuse of the muslims don't want to give the freedom to live n choosing, to their childrens. Their religion is going on, not because new generation is willing to accept beocz of the fear if they don't accept the muslim religion. They insist thier childrens to adopt the relegion blindly.

I am not Muslim.\n\nBut yes I do.\n\nAnd here's why-\n\nI've heard about Islamic extremists all of my life.I barely remember listening to the news as a kid about the trouble in Beirut.Then the World trade center(I could see the smoke as I grew up 25 miles north of NYC),then the USS Cole and the embassies,then 9/11.\n\nI've been in Iraq for almost two years.I listen to prayer calls daily.I've read and asked people about Islam.I've seen Arabs praying in private and out in the open.\n\nBefore all of this I would have told you all Muslims are terrorist.After my learning experience of learning about the religion,it's values,and what it was founded upon,I can tell you only a fraction of Muslims act like terrorist.\n\nMy experience with Muslims has been positive.They are nice people,with strong beliefs like any other religion.\n\nI chose to educate myself about Islam.I am glad I did.I'm also glad to be on Answers because I've met some wonderful Muslims that I trade e-mails with.

This assumption is not necessarily correct. "all" people dont think Muslims are terrorists. I have many muslim friends who are very good human beings. Innocent, helping and humble
