Muslima -- under your name is your user title. Right now, mine says "HappyLikeJoe."

You can ask LumberJim to assign you a title here, if you want, or you can pick your own at the User CP (upper left part of the screen).

it's done. no one wanna answer that means that am right, we here call silence agreement, sothanks :)

thank you HLJ , am sorry for my prieviews reply i got you wrong, :)

Muslima, I can't speak for all people, I can speak only for myself. I don't judge all Muslims through the actions of a small number.

i don't mean you i mean people who hate muslims without reasons, i know that you are opened minded

open minded:D it's the first website to reply in :D

That's all right, Muslima, you never know when I'm being serious.

You should take a look around the Cellar; there are lots more interesting threads than this one.

Some people do, and they shouldn't. And some Muslims do judge the US based on the actions of our thugs and criminals, and they shouldn't.

However, you can't pretend that the thugs and criminals don't exist. Representatives of the USA have acted thuggishly and criminally, and so have representatives of Islam. It doesn't mean that Americans or Muslims in general are evil, just that they are humans. It is important for Americans and Muslims to rein in their thuggish criminal activities, and that is not possible if you refuse to admit that they exist, or claim that the ones on one side don't count because of the ones on the other side.

thank you again HLJ :)

i know that they exist, but we don't consider them muslims. you know , we've in our religion if one muslim killed a person we don't consider him muslim because souls for ALLAH not for us.

How convenient... if a muslim kills someone, they are automatically not a muslim anymore, therefore there are no muslim murderers.

that what allah said, they only holding the religion by name that what i've said before, please check it in the previews pages :), i think too that christianity contains the same meaning, i think no one is free to snatch thoes people & change thier religion, i won't catch one by one to ask them did you kill before, but what we do is punishing them

and here where i stay thoes extremists was killed.

Unfortunately, there are Imams who disagree, and someone who is shunned by your religious leaders can join a different group.

And even if all Muslim leaders joined together to denounce violence, there would still be violent Muslims, because Muslims are human. Pretending that they aren't Muslim is essentially the same as pretending they don't exist, because you can just claim that they don't count.
