Do you know what I am going to be blunt I dont care that you are a muslim. I havent said anything to insult you persoally oI am offender are you saying we are now getting to a place where we darent report on anything in the news that involves a muslim in case we offend muslims. I am not the person who is giving your religion a bad name other muslims are so maybe it is those people you should speak to when you are offended.
Rather like children these things always get turned around to 'but what abo me am offended and you are an islamaphobe! It doesnt wash anymore. I am sure plenty of people like myself are offended when being called kaffirs and told we are going to be killed. I am sure the relatives of tthe 140 in Paris who were killedfeel offended, as well as tthe peoples relatives in America but we havent had much chance of hearing their voices because it has been drowned out by voices like yours telling us how offended you are that it has even been reported that the perpetrators were muslim! i eply to: Kapusta

It is extremely concerning that this man screams islamiphobia and does not mention or seem to care about the victims.

Incidentally I have educated myself about Islam. I have friends who are muslims, I also domt think for one moment the majority of muslims want to kill people. I am sure you are a lovely kind person who wants to live in peace, which is what I think the majority of normal people want. However, things like this are becoming more common and so it is going to make people wary, thats human nature.
I think a lot of the problems of extremism are coming from Countries where a stricter form of Islam is adhered to and I understand that there are more muslims than any other faith who have been killed.
I also dont believe everything in the West is perfect, far from it, society in general is becoming sicket and I feel this is how extreme Islam is promoted. All the sexualisation,drugs, alcohol, pornography is all getting out of hand. Most people are good people and unforunately it is the minority eho spoil it for evryone. I think there are lessons to be learned from all sides. I think women should be given the power in all countries fot once and see if they do any better at sorting the world out a reply to: Kapusta

We care about Islamic extremism, because we are at war with it. So join us and stop arguing or quietly sit and do nothing, and anxiouswens good job addressing him as peaceful, you must always do that inorder to have a conversation because immediately Islamic people will say,"well they are not representive of true Muslims!" So I always preface any dialogue with," I know you are the most peacful Islamic person around" that way we can actually have a beneficial conversation.

Very sad. It's Very sad when I try to talk to people about things like this and it goes in one ear and out the other. People in the US are more worried about what kind of stupid shoe Kanye is gonna make next.

Compared to the acts of radical Muslims, two homeless men in Rome trying to attack a Police officer and accomplishing nothing is unbelievably meaningless.
I know it was a bit of hyperbole but don't move to a desert island because survival there is impossible for modern humans. I know shows like survivor and stuff make it seem possible, but they are lies; modern humans with no survival training should never do this.
Being afraid of drugs and pornography, and calling for their removal from society is exactly what radical Muslims are calling for. Some of your comments are right in line with their radical ways of thinking. Extremism comes in many forms and is always dangerous. Don't confuse the dangers of extremism with radicals using Islam as a tool for extremism.

While I am glad that as a Moderate Muslim you believe in western rational and peace, but your reaction to the OP and other anti-Islamic commits are part of my point that there needs to be a reform to Islam from the Moderate world to hijack the religion back. If you could show us how you read the holy words of your religion and why you don't condone the actions of radicals, for I know it would go a long way in truly elucidating people in threads like this.
Telling people to go do their own research won't work either, for people already know where to find their flavor of media on the internet and will find all the biased research they need to try and prove you wrong.
Keep fighting against bigotry and know that others are with you.
