Then tell that to the US and Israel.
Ohh and throw in NATO.
I love how instead of owning the terrorist actions that extremist commit.........you deflect to the US and Israel..........Yes lets blame others instead of taking responsibility.......
The better part of the world is under attack from Islam. Never trust a religion that bans bacon. Never trust a thing that hates dogs or women either.
Do you realize that unlike Christianity, there is no separation between Church and state in Islam?
This dichotomy - present in the Christian Bible - is completely absent in Islam..
Islam and the west represent two different and opposed civilizations; two different ways of looking at and structuring the world.
But nope. Not even the dozens upon dozens of terrorist attacks in Muslim countries and elsewhere can change your fixed assumption.

First, seven Israelis were killed in two attacks on buses in southern Israel, according to Israeli medics. The attacks began when gunmen fired at an Israeli bus that was traveling near the Egyptian border
Palestinians deny any involvement in the attack.
Then, Israel blamed Gaza's Popular Resistance Committees for the attack and retaliated with Israeli missiles killing 15 Palestinians, with 55 injured, including 12 women, 15 children, three elderly and one ambulance worker.
On Saturday, Israeli sources said one Israeli was killed and about a dozen injured in southern Israel in a barrage of Palestinian home-made rockets fired from Gaza. The deadly attacks have gotten little international reaction, but regional reactions from the Arab League have condemned the attack on Gaza and called for an immediate stop to the attacks and military operations against Gaza. However, the Jordanian government, through Abduallah Abu Rumman, condemned Israel for its "military escalation and operations in Gaza that have killed civilians as well as Egyptian officers", urging an immediate halt to the strikes in order to avoid regional instability.
Moayyad Abu Imran , 34-year-old engineer :
I think this time, Israel is not aiming to kill for the sake of killing, but for more. Two main reasons: first, to thwart the Palestinians' application for statehood on September. And secondly, for Netanyahu to export his internal economic crises and failure in dealing with the Tel Aviv protests.
Ahmed Al Najjar, 27-year-old documentary film producer :
I see these attacks as the first Israeli nail in the coffin of our bid for UN state recognition in September.
What is happening in Gaza right now is a message from Israel to the world that no political force can impose anything on Israel, including the US administration. All in all, what we are going through, from violations of rights, is the accumulation of international silence since the birth of our plight until today's Israeli bombing.
Moreover, on the timing of the Israel attacks, everyone notes that Israel is targeting us, a civil population, even in the holy month of fasting and worshipping ... this brings Israel's claim of religious sanctity and rituals into question.
Kholoud Al Massri, 23-year-old university graduate :
I think in such a situation of frequent Israeli attacks on Gaza, firing rockets towards Israel seems to be our only means of resistance, when the rest of the world has abandoned us to face the illegal occupation alone.
Sahar Salem, 24-year-old labourer :
If an Israeli is killed on the moon, Israel would attack Gaza for revenge. By continuous terror attacks on neighbours, Israel thinks it can bring peace to its people, but in fact it only brings more hatred toward them.
As for the home-made rockets fired on Israel, that is meaningless, because they hit the poor, marginalised areas of Israel that the government of Israel doesn't care about. I hate that the poor and marginalised everywhere are always the less fortunate and the most likely to suffer.

So when they attack you must answer back in kind or they will sense your weakness and attack even more. The Palestinians etc. are getting what they asked for
Seperation between church and state did not exist in biblical times when the "law of God" was the law.
Please dont tell me you think a secular, non-religious government were stoning adulterers, fornicators and people who picked up sticks on the Sabbath back then.
Funny... in my experience, the ones who are most opposed to Islamic laws are the christians who identify with the bible, which has its own set of Shariah-like laws...(Leviticus)
Also, dont forget that Jesus said that these laws were to be followed "till heaven and earth pass away".
Hypocrites.
The dozens of terrorist attacks pale in comparison to the large scale wars perpetrated by the west, both present and in the past.
I am an atheist, but I know this is not true, since I come from a christian family.
The New testament is always above the Old. Drastic old testament laws such as stoning of adulterers are all negated there by Jesus.
There is also a passage about "giving the Ceasar which is Ceasar's, and giving God which is God's" - separation of church and state. So christians are not hypocrites.
No such thing is in Quran as far as I know.

You can have your own xp , but be aware that time is short for you.
The USA supported a group of people living in Pakistan , to stand against those invaders. When I study more about those Muslims , I see that they are Wahhabi - a new derivation in Islam that took place about 200 years ago. I see now why those UK spies and insiders let these groups of Muslims survive and continue to grow.
They are being supported by Saudi Arabia and growing in Pakistan.
Wahhabi From Wikipedia
Wahhabism is a religious movement or a branch of Islam. It was developed by an 18th century Muslim theologian (Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab) from Najd, Saudi Arabia. Abdul Al-Wahhab advocated purging Islam of what he considered to be impurities and innovations. Wahhabism is the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia. It has developed considerable influence in the Muslim world in part through Saudi funding of mosques, schools and social programs.
He attacked a "perceived moral decline and political weakness" in the Arabian Peninsula and condemned what he perceived as idolatry, the popular cult of saints, and shrine and tomb visitation
