Quite a lot. You just don't care to see it, in your eagerness to condemn millions of people for the acts of a few.

You might try reading the Qur'an, rather than just quoting crazy hate group blogosphere interpretations. I don't care that you hate everyone within one particular religion. You're entitled, I guess. But I sure don't have to suffer the constant repetition of such crap without comment.

A few pretty loud and destructive people, it only took a few to kill thousands on 9/11 . The same few that kill their own people everyday but that is ok because its for Allah. If a person of the Muslim faith doesnt want to be lumped in with terrorists that they need to be loud and proud and that doesnt mean just a few lines in the papers saying we denounce their actions . They need to get active and protest their own people in their home lands , hold demonstrations and boycott business or people that are suspected of supporting terrorism . But that wont happen beacuse the few you speak of scare the crap outta the very few that speak up.

Wrong. You might notice the very public response of many Muslim groups in the US to terrorism.

Yes, it only took a few: terrorists - not everyone sharing that religion.

Why continue to ignore that nearly every homegrown US terrorist over the past 25 years has killed us (fellow citizens) in the name of Christ?

Yeah, those American citizen Christians have to speak out, they are all terrorists in the name of their God until proven otherwise.

There are plenty of loud and proud Muslims. Of course, it's difficult to be that in the USA, even for Muslim USA citizens, due to the blanket bigotry and hatred displayed here against them by their fellow citizens.

No Im not wrong , you dont see boycotts or protesting happening , you see words on a page nothing more. If the governments that harbor terrorists and the civilians who are against terrorism were to be louder and prouder maybe just maybe then I would accept that the opposition that some proclaim was real . A Pakastani military officer knew of the plan to set of a bomb in Time's square did he say anything ???? No he just let it roll off his back and the Pakastani military is supposed to be on our side when it comes to terrorism. Dont you remember when 9/11 happened they showed footage from Middle Eastern countries of people rejoicing in the streets that a whole bunch of Americans just died? I dont hate anyone but I hate the things people do and as for the our homegrown terrorists I think we have done a pretty good job of quelling that situation . As for anyone who kills in the name of Christ or any diety they believe in are just really sh.itty people who are so weak minded that they cant recognize right and wrong.

You mean Southern Baptists like Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 12 soldiers and 1 civilian at Fort Hood. Or how about D.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad. Or maybe Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who shot two privates at an Army recruiting office in Little Rock in 2009.

Nice try. No, I mean Christians like Eric Rudolf, Tim McVey, Scott Roeder.

Oh, we are supposed to like people that belong to an organization that believes in killing (or heavily taxing) anyone who won't join their gang? Maybe these Pet Muslims you write about are acting nice, because they aren't in the majority. Put them in a Muslim Majority Country, and see the real them. Far as blanket stuff goes, haven't you noticed how these countries % of Muslims are in the hi 90's? That's what happens when a Prophet tells his followers to kill those who try to leave the religion. Any time they get a majority, they try to turn that in to a hi 90's % of the population. You say some of these Muslims are good, but they choose to follow the teachings of a Pedophile who told males to treat their women like farm animals. They follow a man who said 1 man's word is equal to that of 2 women. They choose to follow the teachings of a man that butchered non believers. I'm sorry, but I can't see how Muslims can be good people. You can't follow this person's teachings, and be a good person. I don't understand the huge free pass you give people that choose to follow a guy who fkd a girl that played with dolls. If he was here, he'd be put in prison for this, and this is the person you say good people can follow? I don't think so. I'm not getting this assumption you have that says "good people" can follow.... a butcher.....a pedophile......someone who calls for the killing of those leaving the "faith." It's obvious that you're ignoring core beliefs. To me, someone who follows this person's teachings is not "good people." These aren't people following some Latter Day Saint. Far as I know, Mormons aren't out to kill people that refuse to buy into their belief system. Islam has clear stated goals. If people say they belong to that belief system, then I have to accept the fact that (push come to shove) they are gunna be in support of the world domination ordered by their Prophet. Do you folks have a portion of your brain that won't allow you to fully accept the stated goals of this religion? I think so. I'm not going to harm these people, but I don't see any way that these can be "good people." Their goals are not good for non-Muslims. That light has got to (someday) go on.

"We" don't all buy into your description. Some of "we" think your knowledge of Islam is colored only by information provided by hate sites. Some of "we" think some of the things you say about "Muslims" (as a whole) are absurdly, patently and simply wrong.

I hate to break you this news but Osama Bin Laden is fairly popular throughout the Muslim world. It's not as if 99% of Muslims dislike Bin Laden. I don't know exactly what his popularity numbers are amongst Muslims around the world today, but I know his numbers were pretty high fairly soon after 9/11.

You might try reading the Koran. It says that anyone who defames the prophet(Muhammad) must die. I remember when the author Salman Rushdie wrote the book The Satanic Verses. In the book, he mocked Muhammad in some way. There ended up being a bounty put on Rushdie's head for mocking Muhammad. I remember at the time, a reporter went up to the singer/songwriter Cat Stevens (who is a devout Muslim) to ask him what he thought of the bounty being put on Rushdie's head. Stevens responded that the Koran clearly states that anyone who defames the prophet must die. So he was basically in favor of Rushdie being killed.

It's not like only a small number of Muslims thought Rushdie should die. A fairly high number thought he should die.

I think the vast majority of Muslims that live in the US are probably pretty good people. Thankfully most of them don't take the Koran literally.

So which is it? He's "fairly popular" or "I don't know" exactly how popular he is?

Considering all the the people of Muslim faith that condemned OBL at the time - and continue to, and continue to condemn terrorist acts - you don't seem to have much support for your guess.

You might try reading the Koran - where it says absolutely one will not commit murder. Or maybe the part about Jesus- yeah, that Jesus - being a revered prophet.

Or maybe try to learn about religions - how all religions (including the "Christian" ones) have differing and various sects that follow and believe vastly different things. For example, there is that American one that has killed thousands of people over the years in the name of God, with their God's support, 'cause the bible told them to ... oh yeah, the KKK.

As long as they keep quiet and hide their religion from the hate of some of their fellow Americans, the fellow Americans that presume "they" are all killing terrorists because they happen to be of a certain religion others fear and misunderstand.

Riot I think you should go try to live in the middle east, lets say Pakistan, for a little while and report back your findings.

You think Pakistan is representative of the Muslim world?

Seriously?

Sorry - I don't buy into the "all Muslims are terrorists" bigotry. But you guys go right ahead.

Perhaps you guys should watch this. Seems to fit right into the sentiments expressed here by some:

I've never said all muslims are terrorists, so dont put words in my mouth bitc.h.

No I dont believe all muslims are radical. You seem to feel like there are only a "few". If "few" means millions, than I may agree. The estimates are that there are approx 1 billion Muslims in the world. The VAST majority are good Muslims (eventhough they still treat women like dog crap).

" Gallup conducted tens of thousands of hour-long, face-to-face interviews with residents of more than thirty-five predominantly Muslim countries between 2001 and 2007. It found that – contrary to the prevailing perception in the west that the actions of al-Qaida enjoy wide support in the Muslim world – more than 90% of respondents condemned the killing of non-combatants on religious and humanitarian grounds [156] "


Looking at these generalized numbers, it would be safe to say that 10% of the Muslim population is radical. Thats 100,000 million people, or 1/3 of the population of the United States, that think terrorists attacks are good things.

Thats a scary high amount of people. So yes, the majority of Muslims are not like that. But a ton of people are.

I have absolutely no respect for that religion, even if they had 0% terrorists, because women are treated with less respect than dogs. This world would be a much better place if mythical Muhommed had never been written about.

and if the 90% would only follow the path of America and stand up against their radicals the same way we did with the KKK they'd be far better off. They might even allow women to drive eventually after they first do away with 'honor killings' and female castration.

No. I don't classify "Muslims" into radicals or not. There are terrorists, and there are people who are not terrorists.

There are 169 million people in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. They have been an Islamic republic since 1956. Yes I think that Pakistan is a pretty good representation of the Muslim world.
