Islam couldn't forbid all people to follow this religion. If some bad people doing something wrong and they said that they are muslim. Could we blamed Islam?

Don't you read the news???? Many Islamic scholars has critic people who doing violence by name of Islam. Dou you blind or you just give attention to all mistakes that done by the muslim? In Palestine, some muslim killed by Israel, do you have told that Jews is bad??? In India some people killed by the Hindus. Do you have blamed them?

The base of spirtuality in Islam or any other religion is same. Any religion of this world never preaches us any sense of violence or hatered against humane being. All communities in this world have good and bad people and so is the case with muslim community.

But Islam does, and that is why, when no religion teaches to hurt, Muslims still do it so often with such religious motivation.

Islam doesn't. Could you find in the Koran that said you have to kill or hurt the other? Show me! Even though some accident done by muslim in the world, it don't mean that Islam teach us to doing that. These done by some bad people who didn't understand Islam well.

Firstly, I want to say sorry to all human in this earth who have becoming victim of all violence that doing by name of Islam or Allah. I just want to say that Islam never teach us to doing violence. These verses look really "barbar". It because there was typed separately. (You just typed verses that contain words such fight, kill, slay etc.You'll never ever understand something if you haven't read it complete). I realize that some verses typed inclomplete. We can easily conclude that Islam is barbarian after we read these. But people (who telling anything bad in Islam) never write background or tafseer of these verses. Some verses above were revealed in the time of war between muslim and Quraysh. War which happen because of oppression that doing by the disbelievers (Quraysh). Dozen hundried year ago, Muhammad and many muslim got some bad treat from the disbelievers. They got abasement, mock. Some of the followers (muslim) have being tortured and killed by the Quraysh. Billal, he was a bondsman when he converted to Islam, his owner tortured him, fortunately Abu Bakr saw it and he bought Bilal then he set him free. Other muslims have killed by the disbelievers. The Quraysh became more cruel, (ex.they tried to kill Muhammad, not for once!, they tortured the muslim etc) God decreed, (22:39) "Permission to fight is given to those who fighting them, because they (believers) have been wronged, and surely Allah is be able to give them victory." (2:190) "And fight in the way Allah those who fight you but not to trangress the limits. Truly, Allah likes not the trangressor." This verse show that fight only people that fight you (maltreatment etc.)futhermore not to trangress the limits. Other verses was revealed when the disbelievers deceit the Hudaibiyah Treaty. The Quraysh started making a problem (oppression the muslim etc). God command not to fight the Quraysh who didn't deceit the treaty, and keep the Quraysh who asked for protection (who deceit)then send them to the safety place and give forgiveness for them who feel remorse. (I think you didn't write this part). Islam teaches us tolerance, peace and give forgiveness. (109:6)"To be your religion and to me my religion." (2:256) " There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Thagut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower." I hope you really read the history before you told that islam is barbarian religion. When muslims migrated to Madinah, Muhammad made a kind of MoU (or something like that) with the Jews, the content were, Jews live peacefully with the muslims, both of them free to follow and follow their religion, The Muslims and The Jews have to support, to give advice, and to protect each other. I can't imagine that a barbaric could made something like this! The fact some Jews deceit it, even they oppress a muslim woman and attack in mob (untill die) guy who wanted to help her! God decreed, (2:109) "Many of people of the scripture (Jews and Christians)wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, out of envy from their ownselves, even, after the truth (that Muhammad peace be upon him as Allah messenger)has become manifest unto them. But forgive and overlook till Allah bring his command. Verily, Allah is able to do all things."

As in any other religion, groups or organizations, there will always be members who have extreme points of view and beliefs. It is sad that because of those recent events, many associate those actions to Islam. But rest assured that not all people think that way. I, for one, have some moslem friends and colleagues, and I dont feel threatened of them.

here i would like to say that...in all religions,isalam is the best religion, u will agree on this after knowing all the truths of islam.few pples make it dirty or some dirty pples are in islam. more detail u can find in ---www.AL-SHIA.com--- there are so many things which are scientificaly co-related in islam,as.. circumcision:in islam at early childhood child gets circumcised, so bcoz of that he will never get the cancer of male genitalia. during namaz each & every person should b washed his/her hands,feets,face,nasal septum...bcoz of that in future there will b less chances of developing skin cancer. also during namaz each & every joint gets movement,so who follows 5 times namaz he will not get affected or less chances of developing arthritis. also during namaz in sazda one has to kept his forehead on the floor so who follows 5 times namaz he will not or less chance of developing dementia or alzaimer's. these are few examples ...but the depth is still more like iceburgs fenomenon. & by the culture no religion could be compared with islam.

I think of Islam like I think of all the religions, no good, except Buddhism(which I havent studied enuff yet, to be sure). All the religions have been used to make so much bad things and suffering, so I think better of without 'em. I think that the problem with Palestina etc. is more of question about education. Educated people do not tend to kill each other, no matter if he/she's Christian, Muslim or whatever.

No relegion teaches voilence, hatered towards others.It is the people who do such things under the pretext of relegion for fulfilling their own vested interests.But it can be said that more islamic people are being used by these types of people for creating voilence but as far as relegion is concerned all the relegions preach there is one God.
