The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
Blaming a whole religion for the actions of smalls sects is kind of insane.
I apologize, but there are plenty of Christian fundementalist groups among other religions who carry on the same kind of behavior. You don't have subscribe a particular religion in order to be a murdering band of individuals, hell bent on destroying another sect of society.
My problem is that there doesn't seem to be a proper group of moderate muslims who counter the actions of these groups. They are a silent majority. That's the real problem.
ETA: It's probably important to mention, for context, that I think all organized religion is ridiculous and should be done away with in the 21st century. Personal religion, no problem.

It is not politically correct to say anything negative about islam.

Most people in the US Military are Christians, that is the predominant religion and therefore the Christians are doing most of the killings.
Have you heard of John Hagee? Yes these people want more war and killings and they are christian
When I said 'you' I was saying Christianity; how does it feel to be labeled by the actions of a few Christians eh?edit on 013131p://3America/ChicagoFri, 09 Mar 2012 13:28:43 -0600 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)
As far as the U.S. military. Yes, the majority is Christian. But the difference is that they are fighting in spite of their religion, not because of it. Personally, I see both as wrong, but very different.

I'm not disagreeing with you. Muslims and Islam is very much behind when it comes to the evolution of their teachings and how literal they take their scripture.
I agree that the silent majority are enablers and that it must end, however occupying their nations is not the way to go about it. It only breeds further hatred for our nations when we meddle in their affairs.

No link needed. That's common knowledge.

Going to need a link for that one. Never heard of that.

SHAME ON THE USA for bombing one of the poorest countries (Afghan) for no reason at all except for this religious war and for minerals.
I am sure that Israel will stop bombing when her muslim neighbors stop theirs.
Afghanistan is all about greed and corruption not a "Religious Crusade" as many here with weak arguments would have one believe.
Meanwhile back at the Mosque....
