Catch my drift! Muslims are to blame for their terrorist behavior when they do not speak out about the wrongful actions of those that kill themselves and others in the name of Allah!
You are way off base, chill and get a reality check!

um, do you see white people going out and constantly speaking out against the KKK these days?
not really
why?
because they're a relatively insignificant (though very loud) minority among decent, rational, white folk
it's the same for muslims
the terrorists amoung them make up such a small percentage
the only problem is that the terrorists are the ones that get all the media coverage

mel, you are correct in saying that your against extremists, but first, what does extremism mean?? Does it imply physical voilence? Second, i think you need to read between the lines about his post..it is about waking up on the fact that WE are buying into viewing someone based on their religion as BAD, EVIL ect. Remember the crusades, christians are to blame for that arent they? or are they not to blame? The way i interpret this post is about thinking for yourself and not passing judgement about someone because there happens to be extremists in that religion. There will always be violence in different ways, how will you decide who is to blame?

The problem is not with Muslim’s, it’s with you, you right there reading this who think that Muslim’s are the problem.
The Muslim religion, is just like Christianity, exactly like it in fact.
This website is all about "Denying Ignorance" so I am challenging those who post here. Are you intelligent enough to Deny Ignorance?

Glad to be of service.

You betchya. They are a problem for everone, including other muslims. Some folks ask why muslims don't come out and condemn the extremists. I am of the opinon that a lot of muslims are just as afraid of the terrorists as we 'infidels' are.
The other problem is that many folks don't admit that there are radical muslim extremists. But the fact is that they are very real. The danger from them is very real - for everyone including muslims who the radicals don't think are 'muslim enough'.
I agree. These people are very scary, and because they are taking their religion with screwed views, I don't see it changing. We are all afraid of these "radicals". WE never attacked Islam once-- we never attacked ISLAM-- in fact George W Bush never said that the problem lied with Islam or the Qu'ran-- but the terrorists themselves. These terrorists don't take their religion seriously. They could, but they would rather blow themselves up with the rest of everyone else to take out the United States, because they feel they hate it, it's only now that we are retaliating.

Protestants went to war with Catholicism, the Church of England hated the Irish Catholics .... actually, I see it the exact opposite as what you wrote.
Oh yeah, and don't forget about what they did to the Anabaptists.
