Stupid statement of the year award goes to you.

They've been killing Christian,Muslim,and even Jewish Palestinians for decades.They've been stealing their land and their homes.They've breached countless human rights etc etc.And all because it says in their holy scriptures that the land is there's.

Well it also says that they can only keep that land if they obey God's Laws.Have they done that? That would be a definate,NO!


Over a 130 countries around the world have a Muslim population,less than a quarter of them have experienced terrorist attacks at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists.

Excellent post 1981. Stories like that take the edge off my emotions. I've never been racist, and I've never been against Islam until the past few years once I learned the agenda of not men like you met, but those militant Islamic men who appear to be in the vast majority.

And those clowns would not hesitate to run over your friend to get what they want. God bless him.

Dante! Thank you! I do love awards! And you must be last year's winner.

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.

Quote a statement i made last year and i'll see if i agree with you.




Actually Muslims usually point out that they are in fact different,and some use it as an argument against the Jews right to Israeli land.

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.

You know who else killed out troops? Chinese, Germans, other U.S. soldiers. Do you hate all of them?

edit to take out the part that was just mean.

I think, but please don't quote me, that The Bald Champion is being sarcastic.

Either way, his...or her, post made meh laugh.

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.

YES.

I find that the best way to express myself is to put myself in the shoes of the offensive logic.

I could careless if you worshiped a NIKE CORTEZ for gods sake. I think the problem is the irrational anger in both sides of the war on terroristersist. I am completely dumb founded at the lack of cop-ability on both sides.

Iraqis - get your police straight...

America needs to remember we are all in a countries business.

I would think people would have more respect for their flag... Instead they promote its institution to do things at any costs.

He looks like a ragged mexican hippy and speaks like a coughing attack.
$#@$ him... Put him in cell and do what you wish...

BS #!@#! you!

I can't go around disappearing folks I don't like. In theory OUR collective voices are king

and if you are wild eyed and filled with hate, sit it OUT!
Let the calm draw the line...

Instead the turtles cook up this bigotry and create more ill will.

If the neocons and TERISTS could all be rounded up we could move on and fix our $#@@. Problem solved...

However the best way would be to marginalize both extreme views and alienate both ideologies.

ALAH AWWWWWKBARRRRRRRRRR --

"HEY! HAMEEB SHUT THE $#@$ UP, you sound like a girlman."

AND

"KILL ALL THEM TERISTS ISLAMISTS"!

" GARY, STOP saying that, you sound like a moron and ITS kinda embarrassing honey..."

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!!!!

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!!!

TERISTS HAPENED!

Dem ISLAMEISTS

Wow, it's scary how you can believe that.
In fact, as far as I know, the Quran is in several ways similar to the Bible, it's stories, the archangel, etc.
It all depends on its interpretation and what happens is exactly the same thing: governments, in this case, Muslim leaders, manipulate their people, taking advantage of their ignorance, into committing acts that they would otherwise not do, all in the name of religion.

Look, don't get me wrong, throughout history, I would think that most religions have done that, from small cults to the largest religious groups in the world. Power, greed, that is what it's all about.
