Islam....a religon misinterpreted by the west

Why would anyone compare the two?

They have nothing to do with each other, by definition.

Most terrorists are Islam, but nobody thinks most of Islam are terrorists. =PRiSkyBiZ-13

I wouldn't go as far as to say nobody...

Most muslims are good people, but it's the radical 20% that gets all the tv time.

20%? So over 200 million muslims are radical?

just curious if the koran has any writtings that could be considered anti west or anti isreal.ItalStallion777

let me rephrase that then....anti jews

aren't the terrorists using certain passages in the koran to justify killings and try to prove that this is what Allah wants?

Anyone who knows anything about the middle east knows that 15-20% of the muslims there are radical. And an argument can be made to raise that. 60-70% want Israel wiped out. Would you consider that radical? When the twin towers were hit did you notice the massive number of muslims in the middle east that were dancing in the streets? The Islam in the middle east is vastly different than the Islam preached here. 1% is an absurd number that is just plain ignorant.

I'd love to see some justification of that number... It sounds to me like you are rather anti-Islam. 60-70 want Isreal wiped out? That's absurd.

mahaeo30- I agree with you completely. I saw the Muslums dancing as the towers fell. Unfortunately, liberals plague these forums like they plague our country, and you'll have nothing but arguments. They sit back and think about how terribly our troops treat the poor Iraqi detainees, the controversal interrorgation methods used by different federal agencies, and how certian people disrespect the Koran by misspelling it or 'dropping it' (that his headlines). I'm sure their view would be different if one of their family members had died in the towers, yet they didn't so they'll remain in denial and oblivious, pretending that we live in the perfect world where only a tiny sliver of people actually want us dead.

yes, you can justify anything using religion but not everything using text. i was specifically asking if anything in the koran said anything that the terrorists used to justify themselves.

btw, i know the story with isreal's creation and how it sparked hatred again the state.

15-20 percent of Mid. Eastern Muslims are not 15-20% of the world's Muslims. Which people in the Middle East were dancing in the streets? Are you talking about the tape about the Palestinians chanting in the street the CNN showed? That's a pretty famous clip that CNN later had to recant because it was a taped prior to the event and had nothing to do with it.

Like I said, nothing but flame. I wonder how many people will report me this time for- God forbid- *gasp* posting a personal view that doesn't agree with the majority.RiSkyBiZ-13

Do you know anything at all about what it is like in that part of the world? It may be absurd to you but when the children's programs speak of the beauty of suicide bombing ( yes I mean children's programs) and the programming there is nothing but propaganda 20% is the right amount. Those poor kids not 7 years old getting on Al-Jazeera and spewing racial slurs against jews is just sad beyond words. When Hezbollah bombs their own hospitals then Al-Jazeera edits the clip claiming the jews did it. Those people don't have the access to the media to be able to find out the truth. They are fed nothing but propaganda and how evil the jews are. Is it any wonder so many of them want to drive them into the sea.

LOL so true,

From what I've read of the Koran (in English) it'll have a few great paragraphs with plenty of detail, examples, and clarification. Then out of the blue you'll get what seems to be a random sentence thrown in that screws everything all up. It almost seems to me that somebody threw some things in there w/out God's concent.

No not at all.. I have already stated the US is just like every other country.. Eveyr country is inherintly short sided and selfish.. The only thing I wish to state is that all people that disagree with the US arn't traitors enemies etc.. That the US is some how not the superior morally just country.. We all have our skeletons in the closet.. And its rediculous to some how think that people have no lregitimate reason sto hate us.. That beign said this country is great with numerous freedoms.

I agree that the U.S. has MANY faults, I'll bash my own country as much as I'll bash Islam. What I don't understand is why we have to LOVE everyone but ourselves.

Did I ever say we should love some of these people? No, most of these cultures are inferior with numerous faults for them.. I am merely stating that its not as simple as why some of these people hate us because of religion.
