Islam is not a peaceful religion, that's 100% bull****. What peaceful religion would teach the only sure way to the paradise is through jihad?
Does it not say in Surah 2:190 "Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you. And slay them wherever you catch them." ?
Don't act like you know anything about Islam Urban. I am a muslim, but do I want to blow people up? Do my family want to blow people up? Even my relatives in Iran and Pakistan, do they want to blow stuff up?
And don't even talk about jihad because all you know it to mean is 'Holy war'. It does NOT mean that, it means exactly the surah you quoted 'FIGHT AGAINST THOSE WHO FIGHT AGAINST YOU.'
Really I can't see how you are so blind and ignorant to the generalization you have made! Islam is a peaceful religion, you miss out the quotes from the Hadith in which Prophet Muhammed says that no living creature deserves to be harmed. But who likes to be dominated, or destroyed? Even in your own bible it contains such type of quotes.
Let me show you from peoples reactions in this very forum why these people do what they do. After these attacks, look at some of the response. 'Blow up afghanistan, blow up iraq, kill the *******s'. You want REVENGE.
This is the same for Iraqi and Afghani and any other people like this! Do you think these guys just woke up one day and say ' Holy **** I wanna blow myself up!' Who the flying fcuk wants to do that!? Eastern people are just as sane as you, and just like you they want revenge for THEIR PERSECUTION.
The West, in their opinion (yes there is a two sides to every conflict I know your side, look at it from theirs), has ripped THEIR communities apart, ripped THEIR families apart for years and years! IN THE SAME WAY YOU WANT REVENGE ON THEM THEY ARE TAKING REVENGE ON YOU! And because of that, THEY are evil, THEY are simply spilling blood because they just want to wreck the world. No, this is wrong, this is untrue.
Now it doesn't make killing right, but these dudes are so desparate in their situation that after losing everything they take revenge in the name of the only thing they have left: their faith.
But sh!t it DOESNT SUPPORT MINDLESS KILLING IN ISLAM OR IN THE QUR'AN! Islam IS a peaceful religion, as Atom said we are a decent race, a FAIR race. And it seems that the Western powers cant take this fairness and levelling of the score.
Another thing, how is it when USA bombs Iraq the dead are 'casualties of war' but when you get bombed back its 'killing innocent victims' Its double standard and if you cant see it then I feel sorry for you.
Whats the answer? Who knows, but I think America and UK need to realise that this terrorism is a RETALIATION TO PAST PERSECUTION and NOT mindless violence!
