Is every muslim a terrorist?

aleaf · Mon Apr 23, 2007 7:35 am *Is every muslim a terrorist?*

surely not....
Could you tell me the local ppl's common opinions(i mean ppl from middle east ) on suicide bombing especially the bombing aiming at Israel or something to that effect?
I remember i watched a movie about two Palestinian young men . The movie tells us a story that two young men decide to commit suicide bombing and the psychological conflict of them........
What on earth lead them to terrorists? Should we owe everything to them?
No smoke without fire.................

otmane omari · Mon May 07, 2007 23:28 pm *My point of view*

Hello every body,
Really, this website attracted me, and this is my first participation here.

About this issue i think that we have first to Differentiate between "Terrorism" and "Islam". Islam is a religion as any other religion, and every body is free to choose the religion that satisfies him;as a result, there is no relationship between Islam and what others say.
The origine of the word "Terrorism" with all my respect is from the U.S.A mainly. They have created it inorder to be a prrof against what Palestinians are doing, but they forget that Palestinians fight against colonisation. The aim also why compare "Terrorism" with "Islam" is to declare war against this religion. Really, I am not defending Islam because I am a muslim -and I am very proud to be- but I am telling the truth according to my analyses and my point of view.
About the question "is every muslim a terrorist?", I think that people are not the same wherever we go;so, we can not compare what others do with there religions, maybe someone is muslim but he does not understand Islam really. In the other hand it could be that the enemies of this religion working inorder to show a fallacy image about it.
Briefly, I want to say that we can never compare the religion with the bad behave of the "Man" -in capital "m"-. In other words the religion is far away from what others are doing;therefore, everyone should respect the relgion of the other one in order to live in a great peace.

Thank you very much to all of you.
With all my respect. Razz

I think most of us in the USA respect Islam as a religion, even if we don't adhere to it.

It is just the militant ones we're not very fond of. And among those who are militant, those we most disapprove of are those that kill civilians with intent.

There are many Muslims in the United States. There is a fair-sized community of Kurdish-Americans living in Nashville, and to my knowledge there hasn't been much negative news concerning them -- they are an important part of the city, they treat others with respect, they are treated (generally -- there are always a few jerks in any given population) with respect, etc.

Yes Mr. "Prezbcky" I see your point, and I would like to say that even here in an Islamic country people respect others religion. Nowadays, we must live in a democratic world and one thing that I think is obligatory to understand is "Freedom" I mean by this that every single person is free but with limite.

with all my respect.

Hi otmane omari,

Have you ever been to Saudi Arabia?

Hi otmane omari,

Because I think people in Saudi Arabia are severely limited in the name of Islam.

Hi otmane omari,

I think we were both getting sidetracked. You told prezbucky that Muslims respect people of other faiths and I asked you whether you had been to Saudi Arabia because in that specific country faiths other than Islam cannot be legally practiced in public. I totally agree with you when you say that not every Muslim is a terrorist. Actually, I would like to say that most Muslims are peace-loving human beings.

It seems like you are very proud of being a man (i.e. not a woman). Am I right?

All the best

Come on, EU, give him a break.

I think that he meant "man" to convey something along the lines of "a respectable/respectful human being".

I can't speak for him, but that's my guess.

otmane omari, that's what you meant, right? Don't make me look like an idiot (don't need help in that department)!

hehe

Hi prezbucky,

Since when has being a man been the same thing as being "a respectable/respectful human being"? Don't you think such a statement is rather sexist to make?

All the best
