An act of "terrorism" can be carried out by first world countries as well.
A clean shaven politician in an expensive suit.... who orders airstrikes that kill innocents is as much of a terrorist as a bearded guy in a turban sitting in a cave... who orders suicide bombings.
Just saying "sh!t happens in a conflict" and sweeping those deaths under the carpet is cruel and callous. Its something that a terrorist might think when he ends up killing civilians when his original intent was to hit a government / military target.

I condemn the Radical Islamists who kill innocents
Thank you for accepting that.
I thought you were another crazy muslim or muslim apologist.
Yeah, I'm not going to sit here any longer and try to have a discussion with someone who plays word games, then after all that, tries to pretend like he wasn't referring to an entire religion. Just pisses me off when people characterize an entire group of people based on the actions of a couple of extremists. Bunch of bigots
If I had the means to go to Washington and join in the March, I would, even though I'm not a Muslim....cause this thread, right here, is the -exact- reason they NEED to march.

Oh so you want me to speak about Islamic terrorism?
Let me tell you it all started from the time of Mohammad and from the Quran.
Find such quotes of hatred from the Quran HERE.

Seriously ask yourself the question before its too late.

If you have read the Bible, you'll also read some not so lovely things. Like the Bible and any other Holy Book, the Qur'an is no exception in being abused. If you've read the Qur'an, you'll also note that the qoutes in your link are out of context. Islamic extremists arn't setting a precedent, there have been extremists doing extreme things even since before the Abrahamic faiths and millions upon millions have been persecuted, tortured, maimed and slaughtered by the actions of extremists. It's an ongoing cycle that finds different faces to wear and even we, who condemn extremists have been just as guilty in perpetuating that cycle by our own ignorance.

Whoa there, I never used a figure for who are peaceful or not, nor have I suggested MOST muslims are peaceful, I simply say there is a set of peaceful Muslims out there, I would HOPE they were the majority but I simply don't know.
The point of them not reacting when the radicals have done something is valid but I've also said the same myself many times, they should be making their voice heard louder, there are those that do lecture at Mosques and do marches but main stream media rarely picks up on it.
They could do a lot more....
As for sides?
Why not individuals who do what's right rather than join a group and take sides..As long as they follow our laws and do not make themselves radical I don't care what or who they are.

Christianity is another # up religion and I will take on that another day.
For now lets stick to Islamic Terrorists.

Nothing to consider at all. That's so stupidly ignorant of you I literally cannot believe I read it.
None of the Muslims in this march are AT ALL related to the ones doing any of those things in the Middle East. How dare you try to levvy their crimes upon citizens of your own country with the logic "Well, this brown person 10.000 miles away did this. There are these other brown people who live down my street, so let's trial them as the criminals and deprive them of rights just cos."
When did I ''try to levvy their crimes upon citizens of your own country with the logic "Well, this brown person 10.000 miles away did this.''
Well here's one example
Points to consider:- *Christians and Jews do not get any protection in the middle east. *They are not allowed to practice their own religion freely. *They have to pay additional taxes aka Jizya. *Our daughter's are being forcibly raped and converted to Islam everyday in Islamic countries.
That was your FIRST response in the thread. You replied to a thread about a march of Muslims on Washington with bullet points about why Islam is "evil".
Do you STILL not see how that's characterizing an entire religion based on the actions of a few violent extremists?
I did not 'try to levvy their crimes upon citizens of your.......'
What I did was highlighted the issue.

In this post you were praising Jesus.
And now you say Christianity is another "#" up religion?
You highlighted nothing. You said, in a debate over should Muslims be allowed to express their free speech
Muslims in America therefore shouldn't get any rights either.

Just because the talking heads on the news don't show Muslims reacting, doesn't mean they don't feel strongly against it.
Why should every Muslim put any effort in at all to discredit these attacks? Is it somehow, our duty to go around apologising for every psychopath who wants to murder someone?
What about the Norway attacks, or for every Christian mother who drowns her children so they can get into heaven. Do you feel the need to go around the everyone you know and writing to every major news network to make it very clear you in no way share their sentiment? Or would you expect people to just accept it as is that these are a bunch of fringe nutjobs and you don't believe what they do.
