Your point being...let me guess, the West, particularly the United states must not see that terrorism and violence belong solely to the Muslims, that non-Muslims are also capable of the same.
I think any objective person, regardless of race and religion can see that. I am sure you can also expect that from people.
I think the main problem between people arguing is when the argument gets irrational. Unfortunately, I think this is the case with my fellow brethren. And I think being critical to your own (kind) would help avoid this. |

I come from Nigeria, live in the Basque Country, have a husband who is from Ireland, so I'm quite sure that terrorism and violence go beyond Muslim groups. I'd say that the contemporary focus on Muslim terrrorism can lead many people to forget the present acts of terror commited by other groups.

Indeed, and I think that over the last few years it is mostly Americans who do not want to look inward, who do not want to criticise their own. |

Very good point, Nina! The next problem, I see, is that some mighty people (leader/ no special one mentioned here) aren´t somewhat more adult than your fellow brethren.
What´s more (to me) is that sometimes people become mighty since they aren´t adult and so never do hesitate acting, not considerring (caused by their skills or behave) the results of their doing. People often look at them as "very decisive persons". Oh my goodness!! |

If your question about the number of Americans I would like you to know would have been "why I were interested in that", my answer could have sounded that I have overlooked the ´ly´ in your "mostly" and I never had allowed me to ask you a sillly question which made you responding like "radio station Eriwan" ( I mean, with another question).
Nonetheless, you didn´t respond on my question. |

hey all,
just wanted tio say that most Muslims know their religion well and do its orders.
the little you called them terrorists are small group of people who dont know Islam and are not muslims. I think other religions and other countries have their terrorists groups, it is not only Islam and you can see that by watching what happen in Iraq and palestine.
Proudly Muslim,
Walaa |

Because I think the question has no value in this debate. If you wanted to ask the question "How many Americans are/have you been in contact with regarding being critical of one's own kind?", I'd say a heck of a lot.

BTW, what was wrong with my "it is mostly Americans"? |

Yes, we had three terrorist attacks last weekend, and not one of the attackers was Muslim. I live in The Basque Country. |

As far as I can see it: there isn´t any gramatical mistake in your text and as for the context: I didn´t want to evaluate it´s truth. I just tried to mention it´s been me who was mistaken not having noticed the "ly" so that I read "...it is most Americans who...." and came to wonder how many of them you know. Should I have insulted you I appologize for that. |
