I have a few friends who are Muslim and they tell me about their religion when I ask them but nothing breaks things down easier than this video. I found this video easy to follow. I am going to open this conversation up to others here on ATS because this is where it gets interesting.

The speaker in the video starts questioning why people try to equate Islam to terrorism. I personally don't think there is any connection and I am not trying to open a can of worms here. Is the speaker correct in trying break the connection by referring to Christianity and Judaism stories?

I found this interesting quote:
www.religioustolerance.org...

"If anyone harms (others), God will harm him, and if anyone shows hostility to others, God will show hostility to him." Sunan of Abu-Dawood, Hadith 1625.

Do you think extremist may take this quote and turn it into something more than what it really means? I am pretty new to exploring the full Islam religion so I would like to know without assuming anything.

Look forward to your views. Thanks.

Not any more of a link then what already exists between every other religion.

More blood has been spilled in the name of "gods" than anything else. If "gods" aren't terrorists, who really are?
