So Islam is a religion of peace

No we judge them by what they believe in. Christianity doesn't encourage violence and domination, while islime does. Don't you get it? Are you so brainwashed by political correctness (aka fear) that you refuse to see the truth?

if its all about testing your knowledge about Islam or Koran, why don;t you show the reference and I show the multiple reference of Bible which "sounds" to promote terrorism. Bring your reference and I bring mine. How's that?

I did specify that while I have met other Muslims, I got a bit of a cold shoulder. I like learning about different cultures and religions. I just don't want either party to say one is better than one or the other. If a person gets comfort from the relion, and does not hurt anyone else in the name of that religion, I have no problem what they pray to. I also agree on the non-violent Muslims. But being in such a rural area, where do I go to visit with other peaceful Muslims? Yeah, I could probably find something on the internet, but when it comes to religion, I think face to face is important. As for the American military, they do the best they can with the intelligence given them. I do not deny that innocents were killed. My late father did two tours in Vietnam. Although we never talked about it, I saw the result of him killing people--"guilty" or otherwise. When it comes to strapping bombs, it's been at open areas such as bus stops and even universities. Why not focus on Israel military areas? Even rockets have hit close to schools. Again, not saying that Israel is 100% innocent--no one who has a military can say that. I realize my view is slanted; but I wanted to give a view that was not so "you're wrong, I'm right, I'm sticking my fingers in my ears, lalalalalalala."

problem with you is that you have been TAUGHT by rabis NOT bible that Muslims are bad hence can'e be good at all since they don't believe in Bible while reality neither MUslims nor Christians killed prophets like Zakriah and Jhon. As long as you see others with glass of hatred, you will find every other Muslim a "terrorist". I personally know Jew who respect Islam despite of not accepting it and it's because they follow Bible rather what media teaches them.

I have daily contact with Muslim people. On the whole they're funny, caring, responsible and contribute to society. I guess you dont have that contact but what you do have is the brains to understand that what you see on the TV is not the reality.

My point was that both sides have, and continue to willfully kill innocent people which I think is wrong. We call it collateral damage. You can argue degrees and scale all day but a muslim woman greaving for the loss of her child to a US bomb is no different to a Jewish or American mother greaving the loss of her child to a terrorist bomb.
though i dislike your rants about Pakistani cricket but I respect yout views about other religions despite of you disagre with me most of the time. 5 from my side.

People like to like to call Islam violent and dangerous because they can single out a few verses in the Koran or Hadith that say to kill infidels, but the truth is the Old testament is full of similar or worse commandments from God. In fact, some of these commandments have been used as justifications for the inquisition. Source[^] Jesus did say that not one "jot or tittle" of the law will pass away until after Armageddon. I think what it boils down to is fundamental Islam is a few hundred years behind Christianity as far as watering down their religion.

Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you "also I don't think "TranslateOneToTwoBillion OneHundredAndFortySevenMillion FourHundredAndEightyThreeThousand SixHundredAndFortySeven()" is a very good choice for a function name" - SpacixOne ( offering help to someone who really needed it ) ( spaces added for the benefit of people running at < 1280x1024 )
Because 'we' need an identifiable enemy. So now that Communism is gone in the trash of History, Islam does fit well. and Hollywood is happy too!
