OOC: I am a Roman Catholic. I simply have a lot of Muslim friends and am tired of people who don't know about acting like idiots.

I am sick of everyone (especially these "terrorist" nations) saying that Muslims are terrorists and what not. Also all of the people in these forums who pretend to be terrorist nations and say that they are doing it for Muhammad don't know the first thing about it. I am making a list of things that people should know about it. Feel free to add anything you'd like to.

1. TERRORISTS DON'T REPRESENT ISLAM!!!! In fact the Quran condemns terrorism calling it a cowardly for of forcing someone to do something. Nowhere does it say that any Muslim should be a terrorist. All of these terrorist organizations and nations say that they are doing it in the name of Muhammad or Allah whenit is said that you shouldn't. The terrorists represent Islam about as much as the KKK represents Christianity.

2.The Quran does not say to hate Jews or Christians. It even says to respect them as your brother. Nobody in their right mind would blow up their brother. Another thing that many don't understand is all three religions follow the same God, just under a different name. Just because they call God a different name doesn't make him (no offense to anyone who beleives that God is not male, I am saying this to make it sound better) different. An example is the name Joseph. In America he is Joseph, in spain Jose, in Russia Josef but that doesn't make him a different person.

3.Most Muslims are extremely friendly and are tired of the war in the Middle East. A lot of the Muslims I know are the kindest people I know. That is because they are required to follow the 5 Pillars of Islam to the best of their ability. One of them is that they must give a sum of their income to charity. Terrorists don't give much money if ever to charity.

The point I am trying to make here is, don't listen to all of these idiots trying to act like they know the Quran and act like terrorist nations. Please like I said before, add anything I forgot.

1. Is true. Timothy McVeigh should have taught Americans that back in 1995. He was a christian. And the fact that Al Qaida is blowing up mosques ought to have proven once and for all they are not doing it for islam. IF they were, they would not be going around blowing up mosques full of muslims.

2. Christianity and Islam are nothing more than branches of Judaism.
Just more evolved.

3. Actually the terrorists give huge sums to charity. That is how they get the huge amount of support in the third world they enjoy currently. The only nation that gives more to charity than the terroritsts is the United States. Many of these terror groups funded the construction of schools, hospitals, free housing for the homeless, and even vaccines for the poor.
How many of these muslims that you know currently live in the middle east and how many have been in America for more than 5 years.

True The SARS Monkeys. People will interpret things in their own way though, and that's true for all religions and political ideologies. Just look at how Lenin changed Marxism into something totally different.

Hmm.. I think that what people are really frightened of is the difference in culture between Westerners and Muslims (I know that Westerners and Muslims aren't mutually exclusive, but I think you probably catch my drift). People get scared when they encounter something that is powerful but different - they see it as a threat. Please note that I'm not complaining about Islam, I'm just stating that our differences can cause problems.
