i don't think it will, at least not in the near future.  they are too busy blowing themselves or others up to do much humanitarian work.

Yes of course it is, religion is everyone personal rights and NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO FORCE YOU TO CHOOSE YOUR RELIGION. (but the Muslims won't think so, do you watch the news lately?, they almost execute someone because he convert). What's important is : \n1. Don't just leave Islam and convert to Christianity cause Arabs is bad and Christian organizations is good. They just the people, not the religion itself. An Atheist or even a Satanic believers can do good deeds to you while your fellow Muslims can trash you. Try to understand that concept.\n2. You have to learn Christianity first, different religion also entitled you different rules and obligations. Are you ready to do that and live the way of Jesus?

It's not Islam.  It's the state of Muslim nations which is in a struggle for freedom.  Muslim nations have directly and indirectly been, and in some cases, continue to be colonized by Western Nations.\n\nMuslims have not been able to fully practice their beliefs in about 100 years.  In many cases they have been oppressed by tyrranical regimes that are supported, militarily and economically, by Western countries.\n\nAs a result, desperation and extremism have been allowed to flourish in some parts of these countries.  If history is any indication, once these people are able to rule themselves by the Islamic Shari'a (jurisprudence), they will not have any animosity against anyone.\n\nWhat we are seeing today is reactionary.  If the West, especially the U.S., was to implement a more even-handed, fair, and truly pro-democratic foreign policy, there would not be a need for such extremist reactions.  Unfortunately, so far the West has viewed the Middle East as a region to serve interest of the West, even if it went against the interest of people of the Middle East.\n\nI must say that it is arrogant to think that what pleases the West (i.e. materialism) will be the answer that will please Muslim nations.  Not to mention, absolute freedom infringes on the borders of morality that Muslims live by. This is philosophical and idealogical colonialism at its worst, which is more dangerous than military and economic imperialism.\n\nWho are we to think that they're jealous of us?  If anything, Pope Benedict was correct in saying that Muslims criticize the West for marginalizing God and religion in everyday life.  The West is in dire need for an idealogical renaissance.  Morality has been replaced with greed and selfishness.  As a result, we say 'democracy' but act in the most fascist manner.\n\nIt's time for us in the West to wake up.  The presence of extremism in the world indicates that we are also extreme, but in the opposite direction.  We need to start refocusing on God, human rights, family, and the global community.  Then, and only then, will we not taste the sour fruits of our seeds.

Yes, God says in the Quran that He has perfected the religion.\n\nIslam is all anyone needs, for the rest of the existence of humanity.  So far, history has proven its accuracy.  No new major world religion (comparable to Islam, Christianity, or Judaism, etc.) has come up since Islam.\n\nGod did not abandon humanity, but rather gave his mercy to us by giving us a perfect religion.  The message of Islam is enough.

Your intent is not understood.  People think that you are inciting hatred towards Muslims.  But all you have done was shown a video where a little Muslim girl is doing the talking herself.  \n\nI think you have a genuine concern that a huge percentage of our world's population is being raised with hate ideology.  It is reason to be concerned.  \n\nI think you want Muslims to become better people, as you would want all to become better people.  However your phraseology is extreme sometimes.  You say things like "idiots" and that can be taken as hatred of Muslims.  I understand your frustration, and I appreciate your desire to reform the world towards peace, but I think if I were you, I'd use kinder language sometimes so that people do not misread your intent.

YES I THINK SO. ALL TERRORIST REGIMES HAVE TO BE STOPPED AND DISMANTLED OR THEIR WILL BE NO PIECE IN THE WORLD AND IT IS NOT JUST ISLAMIC REGIMES.

That is why I firmly state that Islam is not a tolerant religion and is the cause for conflicts throughout the world. It is a religion that doesn't consider human rights at all. I'm not saying I'm against the Muslims, just that they have to make their religion flexible to be able to be in peace with others.

The killing of a leader here or there of Muslim terrorist won't solve the problem because the problem is in the nature of the Muslim religion itself.\n\nIslam is a profoundly fascist religion, founded in violence, spread almost exclusively by violence, and that denies, as a core principle, the possibility of a state which is not entirely controlled by Muslims.\n\nAs such it it incompatible with modern notions of liberal. tolerant, secular democracy which prevail in the civilized world.\n\nEither Islam must change or Islam must be destroyed. It is evil incarnate in its present form. The notion that there is a "moderate" Muslim majority is a fantasy. There is no such moderate majority and the handful of genuinely moderate Muslims on this planet wouldn't fill a decent sized football stadium.

No I would not riot because part of Christianity teaches us to Love Thy Neighbor and to do unto others as you would like done to you.  If we as Human Beings, one by one set an example of tolerance of all peoples beliefs, we can bring about change no matter how long it takes.  If the people of this world looked at each other as fellow human beings instead of defining a person according to their beliefs there would be less violence and more unity amongst us.

Islam (notice I didn't say "radical" islam-the religion itself is radical).

The society is going against the basic teachings of the Quran which are universal and intangible. They are according to the basic instincts of man.\nDo you want the fate of Islam be like that of Christianity?\nThe structure of the society is on the concepts laid by Quran and all the evil hanging around is because of ignorance.\nDon't even think about altering the contents of Quran!!!!

There were rumors, but I haven't heard anything definite.  Isn't it strange that when alot of people do something wrong in public opinion they convert to Islam.  Why is that?  Do they not have laws or morals at all?  Not being sarcastic, it's just odd.

No. Iraq will, if at all it sustains democracy, take at least 3 decades to understand the system and get into main stream democratic countries. Religion will be a great hindrance to fully open up like a normal democracy. Situation does not change dramatically and I am not sure if any change at all will be possible.

Hi mary!\nI'm not sure I understand your question.\nI agree with you that Islam and Judaism have much in common, and that it would be wonderful if we could explore these similarities instead of being divisive.\n\nI think that Judaism is all about finding the differences between right and wrong, moral and immoral, ethical and unethical, and then following the rightous path.  This is very difficult, but should be a goal of every person.

Of course not...Islam has more and more mistakes, but Muslis scholars twist and add and add. thne they claim other religions faked and fubricated and they are the last best religion.....look all the rules, see how it is plain and makes no sense.\n\nPrayer, very repeated one, that makes human far from spiritual and praying to God....why God would want you to say same thing on and on and on just like a boring song said everyday same and same.\n\nlook cruel punishment, discriminations against women and all that stuff that makes you sting..  it's hard religion, it's absolutely doesn't suit other places.\n\nWell, you asked "why you don't like Islam" and then you added, you are ordinary people....\n\nI don't like Islam...but definitely I love Muslims.  cuz if I don't like Islam, that doesn't mean I hate Muslims!!! \n\nIslam is wrong simply, plaigarize many from bible, rediculate other religions, encourage hatred, violence and impose rules over the head and blood of others. put its rules, holiness more important than bloodshed.  it destruct our countries, divided people.... Islam full of mistakes and cruel punishments.  do you agree of whipping, cutting and these inhuman actions.  unfair, and discirminations against women.  \n\n\nThis is my opinion on Islam, please Muslims I don't mean to offend you
