When my husband told me about the first attack I did not want to come online, I will be honest because I did not want to deal with the anti muslim sentiment, since I am (Shi'ah) Muslim. But I am happy to see this, one of the first threads I decided to open on the topic, because I see many people here understand, this is about politics and political ploys and not one thing to do with the religion.
I am sorry for all those killed and/or injured, my prayers are with them and with their families.

So, here's the deal.
I've often posted in here regarding the frequent violence shown by adherents to Islam. I've often stated my belief that the Quran is inherently violent, as was its founder, Mohammed... and that the core of the problem lies therein.
I wish more people would take the stand that these people have.
I really do. This is exactly what it's going to take... people rejecting violence on the basis of ideology. Whatever ideology that may be. So... credit where it's due. This took a lot of courage.

Dude, your avatar is offensive to my religion, maybe I'll go attack a mosque?
Seriously though, I wonder what would happen if I had the devil whispering in Mohammed's ear avatar???

Look an attack on our embassy is sad and tragic -- but stop acting like this isn't blow back.
How many people do we kill now with just drone attacks?
Until you start tallying WHAT WE DO TO THEM -- don't start acting like the fundies and fools who fight under the banner of Islam are any more blood drenched than the corporate or other fundies on our side.
The "Quran is inherently violent" -- right. And so is your Bible. Stop being so myopic and getting that we don't endorse terrorist muslims any more than all the Christian terrorists we have here in the USA.

No, sorry, I stand by my statement. These extremists are a small minority compared to the BILLIONS of Muslims.

I don't think much for islam or any other religion for that matter. But if you think that's what this was all about, then they already got you where they want you.

I am sickened by some of the responses here. Hate for the sake of hate. I remember seeing some Muslims denouncing terrorism in the past. The response? "Why not more?" Now there's more and it's, "Don't believe them." People point out that kids are holding these signs so it must be propaganda but they are also the first to say, "Kids are suicide bombers as well." Hypocrisy at its finest. I need a frickin shower.

Here are some recent pictures from Libya about the recent terrorist attacks and murders. There are billions of Muslims and only a very small minority committed these attacks and they do not represent Islam and the people of Libya just wanted to remind you of that.

The US funds these people... and these extremists are bent also to destroy Islam itself... you do not know what they do to Islam openly! They are a threat to us ALL, Muslims and non Muslims alike! But we cannot fight against the funding and arms of the US and Saudia!
We all know know what the US and west has done in response to 9/11 but that does not excuse killing innocent people for the sake of a video that anyone could of made by anyone. Muslims need to get their house in order and just stop killing!!
