I have to agree with enslaved, while people (mainly right-wing politicians/evangelical christian leaders) focus on the ONE terrorist group whereever, that says something about killing westeners, while blatantly ignoring the overwhelmingy disgusting racist figures you guys have in US, im not pretending that we in britain are perfect, we have the BNP and NF, but guys, WAKE UP AND LISTEN TO THE FACTS!
I hope you realise that Terrorists are among other things Racists of the worse kind ?
Listen to these facts, Iraq was just given the chance of Freedom and Democracy but instead it's people decided to vote in a Theocracy that plan's to instill Sharia law.
Now ask your self what promotes racism, Democracy or religous fundamentalism.

Shock and awe promotes racism. Its a great way to win people over but I digress.
If the Iraqis want theocracy then let them have it because that is the democratic process! Or is it only democracy and freedom when its in American and western interests? Anyway I wouldn't fret. The Kurds/Sunnis won't accept a Shia theocracy, it will be civil war because you may think they hate infidels, but this is nothing compared to the animosity between Shia and Sunni.
Yes terrorists can be raicists if that is their motivation. Usually it is political, but there are plenty of raicists who do terrible things which are just as bad as terrorists. Look at Hitler. Never read a history textbook which labels him as terrorist but what he did make Osama and his chums look like nice people and he had nothing to do with Islam!
So by your own admission you go prove to yourself that Terrorist's under the guise of Islam are in fact not religious activists but usually political activists.
And that brings the question should Islam in the west be relabled a Political movement so to remove its seeming impunity as a religous establishment ? or maybe that Islam in the west should be forced to accept(and perhaps its leaders required to sign a treaty) that religion is religion and politics are politics and your nation will remain secular!

Quran teaches a Muslim to smile and speak softly while killing a non-believer

either back up your comments or stop spouting such ignorant rubbish.
I am so fed up with reading these type of comments. Do you know how i feel, personally, when i read all this "muslims are evil" crap?
Do you know how i feel when i see my beautiful children and then read things on here about how muslims should be killed/converted/kicked out.
Anyone who has read other posts of mine, know that i dont agree with how Islam is being practised today. But even in that disagreement, i still dont see the majority being terrorists.
And to be honest, it hurts....and you know something....when you guys read of ONE idiotic "muslim" saying stupid things, you know its just one guy. But when i have to read here, day in day out, about how muslims are trying to take over the world (please, i barely have enough energy to go to the corner shops), or how they are evil, how they are barbaric,...when i read people quoting the Quran out of context, or speaking of things which they clearly have NO knowledge of......it does hurt.
But thats nothing, i agree....but you know what?....i am really beginnning to feel like an outcast in this world, and as other nations can tell you (nations to whom it has happened before)....its not a nice feeling.
Well there lays the problem, your organisation lacks the chain of command, a billion people "loosely " strung together being taught individual Imans interpretations of the Quran.

Just imagine if the US military was divided into 10,000 platoons and there seargents had to answer to no body, just armed with the constitution and interpreting it as they will.
Dangerous dangerous dangerous.
Does the Religion of Islam aspire to a world wide Islamic Caliphate ?
How is the Infidel treated in the Calipahte ?
Do people who claim to be Muslim's and murder innocent people in terrorist attacks get to rot in the bowels of hell ?
Has the "accepted" version of the Quran been modified to fit the current world ?
Why doesnt Islam have high ranking Imam's going from mosque to Mosque checking that they are teaching are correct interpretations ?
