I think back to 9/11 when I saw video of muslims dancing in the streets around the world celebrating the attack. This surprised me because the muslims I was serving with in the Army were all about living a pure, humble life. My Mormon friends also strive for a pure,humble life. I don't think the many horrific reports of muslim terrorist attacks are all propaganda. I don't hate muslims, but for my family's sake, I will be vigilant.

OP, in answer to your question, I don't hate Muslims. And to keep this from being a one line post, I add that I don't hate anyone.

This is my view on this subject.

1) Not all terrorists are Muslims - by any means. However, the current majority of the ones carrying out major attacks are. This isn't indicative of their people as a whole, but just the ones that are carrying out the attacks.

2) I don't hate "Muslims." That's a stretch. That would be like saying, "I hate Christians." or "I hate Jews." Too generalized. I have some good friends who are Muslims. Granted, they aren't out trying to behead Americans and blow stuff up, but they are what they are.

3) I hate the idea of forcing religion, any religion down people's throats. If you think that Jehova's witness is annoying now - which we all do - imagine if they came to your door with an AK-47 and obliterated your entire family for not taking a brochure? The problem with Islam as a whole right now is that they are plagued with the extremists that are doing terrible things to people in order to force a new type of religion and lifestyle on them. This cannot be tolerated in the world today. There is no place in civilization today for someone to order you to follow a certain religion. I don't care what that religion is. Before I get the inevitable "Christians did it too" response - YEAH - WOW - you paid attention in History 1301 too. Congrats. Christians had their terrible periods in history - they were the terrible people back in the day - the Crusades, Inquisition, Salem Witch trials, etc. Well - the Muslims (the extremists) are doing that today. That's why they are headline news.

In conclusion - I don't hate "Muslims" - I hate the ideals of some who would attempt to force me to follow a religion I don't believe in. Those are the people I hate.

So there. Star and a flag for you.

I don't hate muslims, although i would be more empathetic if they didn't allow themselves to be ruled by the fear of god

And for you. Well the star anyway. I imagine you already have a flag.

Its easy to hate MUSLIMS and the VC...
They both killers of our troops.

When Them fellers beat the NARAD all them times in a row on 9/11, that was embarassing... There must have been hundreds of mistakes made on 9/11.

The airport
radar technicians
telecommunications
generals
pc

on and on

THEM fellers defeated the US defense systems in hundreds of little battles that day.

I think the librals are to blame... Did any if you think that maybe god was punishing us
for gayness??? Food for thought... I mean, maybe god froze Cheneys mouth that day.

Why were we not able to vote fer BUSH again? He should just change the rules and stay until we is safe.

Just like most mainstream, organized religion, Islam has been hijacked by radicals (Al Qaeda to name one) who twist the religion's holy book's words to fit their purposes, or used by a society (Saudi Arabia to name one) to keep people under thumb.

To answer the question: I don't think most rational people believe Muslims are bad people or that Islam is an evil religion. The Koran is like the Bible in many respects, with many messages of peace, love and respect for fellow men ... the problem is people (and all too often those in power) will take every word literally, or skew the books' messages to advance causes of societal control.

I believe anyone who strictly adheres to ancient texts is silly. But I won't begrudge anyone who practices the positive messages in those books.

The problem lies in the belief (from those who practice Islam AND Christianity) that those who don't believe what you do MUST be converted or, failing that, destroyed.

yeah, they suck
them and their prophet
i got their INFIDAL right here
and they wont like it

I dont hate anyone, muslim, jew, arab, chineese, koreans, africans, whatever. When they try to force something on me, I will fight for my right to live how I see fit, but I dont hate them because they have their own way of life.

Major attacks? Where? In their own little battles and Alah wars? Let them kill each other off, might save us and your fellow troops trouble, not to mention lives.



Cheers!!!!

How can it be that peopel can be so easily manipulated and controlled by just stories in the media. 9/11 case not proven as to who was behind the attacks, certainly not Saddam insane and Iraq, 7/7 same there no real proofs as to who was behind the attacks. Oh yes the powers that be will show you a couple of photographs as proof of who did it and who was guilty, but is that proof.

It is called ignorance, that's how people are manipulated.
What happened on 7/7?

I'm from the Southern Philippines. I don't hate them but I want for them to be driven out. A lot of them have anger issues. Drive these savages to Malaysia and Indonesia where they belong!!!
