i don't think all the muslims in this site are recieving money to correct what has misunderstood about muslims. \n\nand apologists for what? i think muslims are the one who need apologies. \n\nabout murder, terrorist, child molester ...etc. \n\ndid you know that when he started to spread his message. people went against him even much worse than you did. \n\nyour problem is not Muhammad. your problem is understanding who is God is. that's the problem for many people. they have draw an image about God in their mind and said "whatever dosen't fit that image in my mind cannot be my God!".\n\nMuhammad had tender heart toward womens, orphans, poor, captive of wars, neighbour (even if he was not muslims), peace to those who came for peace, forgiving, loving. \n\nYou should not hate Muhammad, but you have to love him instead. He does not do things from his own. He does what God commanded him to do without questioning God. He put his life infront of Death, he put his life in risk calling people toward God. because the Hell isn't a joke. He wants to save as much people as possible and God told him:\n\nQuran ch28\n[56] Verily you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) guide not whom you love, but Allâh guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided.

You have her name wrong. It is Margaret Mcmillan and if you type that into Mywebsearch or Google there are pages and pages of information about her and her educational theories. Good Luck!

"One Muslin [sic] cleric who's doing his best to build bridges between the Western and Muslim worlds is Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, the founder of the Cordoba Initiative, a multi-faith effort to increase understanding and tolerance between Islam and the United States and the West."\n\n[Shhhhhh, the NSA might be listening...]

I SALUTE ARMSTRONG1978 AND TOTALLY 100% AGREE WITH HIM.\nKilling people,not letting them decide what they want for themselves and destroying their holy places this is the sacrifice which the US is giving for Iraq.You are (as all US citizens find easy to do) wasting your focusing on a one-sided story.I would advise you that if you really want to see the truth then instead of criticizing the muslims go to iraq and see for yourself what REALLY is happening and who is the one the iraq people are really irritated with.

You can always report people if you find them offensive then it would be up to the Gods of Yahoo to decide their fate. I wanted to ask you since you say you have a massive reason to hate Islamic people if you know every Islamic person on this Earth? I find statements like that a little offensive. Too general. No one should spread hate. If you really want to make a difference with people like aussiegirl I would suggest being kind and teaching through example. Love goes a long way.

Neil Armstrong is still alive and no, he is not a Muslim. Some wackos made up a story that he heard the Muslim call to prayer when he was on the moon, and that he converted right then and there, and moved to Lebanon when he came back to Earth. It's all fiction.

The two are completely different, and the Muslims on here are starting to get mad at me for telling them the truth over, and over. THEY CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!

"Clearly hate based" campaign?\n\nLOL.\n\nEvery one - EVERY SINGLE ONE - of Dawkins arguments is intellectual refutation of an IDEA.  Not an attack on a person, not slander.  NOT HATE.   Sorry if intellectually you guys can't cut the mustard, but you can't resort to dismissing Dawkins' ideas as mere hate.

While you make a good point about the Muslim leaders not denouncing the beheadings and terrorist attacks, the events that took place at Abu-Grab were an absoulte disgrace and are inexcusable. Defending the people who took place in those incidents is also inexcusible. I do argee with you though that the Muslim leaders are cowards for not standing up to the barbarians in their religion.

I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE WORLD " TERA " SAID ......\n\nbefore i answer , i, as an arab and muslim person , would like to comment on the answer of "TERA"\n\nfirst : the Torah is the bible of jues , but muslim bible called " quran " or koran ....\n\nsecond : the story of armaggedon and the final war is in the 3 religens (christianity - islam - judaism ), but it is very important , clear and as the way Tera mentioned only in the judaism religen ... that armaggedon is a main couse of the christian zionist to support israel , they think that jesus will come and rule for a thousant year of peace , but it is not a part of our believes , it's only a story , a week to proof one , mentioned and most muslims know nothing about it\n\nthierd : why do the extremeists see the U.S. as the evil ? OF COURSE THE REASON IS NOT ( the americans are immoral and non religious , AND NOT that america's culture is better in equality(for women) and freedum of religion ... of course it's not the envy ;\n\nand the reason is so obvious :\n\nthe german , the french , and specially the switzerland , danish and scandanavian countries are more immoral (by far) than americans , and nobody did anything bad to them or terror them \n\nmoreover , talking about religions , at least christians are cousins to muslims , they pray to the same God of jesus and muses ( both are sacred and holy prophets in Koran)but what about the asian countries who most could be by the strict religious view "infedels" ..( no offence to the chineese and all asians i respect a lot , but i'm trying to clear that if it's because of the immorality , many people and countries could be in a worst situation than U.S. ) ...no terorist attack china , koria or japan\n\nThe America's culture is better in equality(for women) and freedum of religion and that is the reason of terrorism on America : OF COURSE NOT , because of a very obvios reason : all of west Europe , canada and far east has the same equality for women , freedom of religion ... even east Europe and Russia has the same ( the last one as far as i know is a nation of athiests too ) and no one ight them for that ....\n\nTERA , dont listen to such crap please , because it's all wrong\n\nnow asking the question , ... well i got tired from writing , but i'll make it simple ; America (and that is well known and formal) made BIn Laden to make him fight against the sovit union in afghanestan , alqaeda and taliban were called by the american media "freedum fighters" , America activated islamic fundamentalism in the arab world at the eighties to gather fighters from all muslim countries to go to afghanistan and fight the sovits for the sake of thier religion , after the sovit union collabsed they abandon those fighters... Bin Laden is a terrorist and america wa trying to kill him , that's why he was upset , and as a terrorist he didnt care about innocent people and did 9/11\n\nthe arab world never united yet , they all polish the american apple

I completely agree with Nick and Mark.  When they say Islam is a wicked and vicious faith they are 100% right.  Islam is a violent medievil faith that needs to be kicked out of the West for good!\n\nGood luck Nick and Mark!\n\nVote BNP! www.bnp.org.uk

I will give this a shot, so to speak.\nI am going to give this, but if you want all the scripture references, then it will be very lengthy.  But I can put them here.  \nAbraham had two children Ishmael, through a slave woman, and Isaac through his wife.  The Christian linage follows the seed of Isaac.  Ishmael (father of all arabs) was thrown out of the family.  Anyway the linage of God and his people Israel follow Isaac, Jacob, 12 tribes of Israel (Jacob, God changed his name)  Anyway that is where it all started.  \nIslam came about with the prophet Muhammad around 1400 when he wrote the Koran.  And it has developed from there.\nThe people of God, the Jews are the source of the Bible and Jesus was born the Messiah and as you know died for our sins.  Jesus said a lot of very definite things about himself that left no room for any other way to get to God.  Muhammad recognises Jesus as a prophet, but says that the Bible is totally wrong, but does not have any writings of Jesus.  This leaves Jesus as a sort of silent Prophet for them.  They concentrate on Muhammad and sort of ignore Jesus and any writings of his.  The teaching of Muhammad and Jesus are directly opposite even as their lives were.  Jesus never married and was finally killed for our sins.  Muhammad had a number of wives and one was a 6 year old girl that he consummated at the age of 9.  Anyway Christianity and Islam are at opposite ends completely.\nThere are copies of the Koran on the net and you can read them, they say some pretty gruesome things.  The Muslim community is trying to white wash the Koran, but unless they decide to re-write it they can not deny what it says.  The peaceful ones ignore the violent passages and quote the non violent passages.  The violent ones quote the violent passages to justify killing everyone.  And the passages are in there.  The Christian is bound by love your enemy and do good to them that hate you.  Directly opposite.  I can give the scriptures but it will be much longer.

www.prophetofdoom.net\nLook at the quotes, then download a copy of the Koran and look them up in context to be sure.  Look at Muhammed's own words on the subject.  If he's lying about his own religion, they are in real trouble.\nDon't even confuse Islam with a religion of peace.\nFew religions are religions of peace (Buddhism comes darn close).\nMost religions have gone through a reformation or two and don't take their Holy Books so seriously.  When was the last time you saw a Christian stone someone as it says in the Bible.\nIslam still hasn't been through a reformation of the sort I'm referring to and takes it's book quite literally.  Remember that the terrorism of the attack on the Twin Towers was cheered by more than 70% of Islam!  There was partying in the streets!\n\nRead Muhammud's own words on it.  Believe Muhammed.
