bestboy19 how many Muslims do you know? Are you speaking from a position where you have Muslim friends and neighbors or are you jumping to a conclusion based on what you are fed by the news media and the Internet.

Chiang, I could jump based on what you wrote below, but most of my opinion is based on what I hear and see on the news, and not just a read report but a visual one.

I think Muslims want everyone to become a Muslim and for some Muslims if we don't come to that belief voluntarily, they'll force it on us.

6precious102 how many of the Muslims that you know have tried to convert you? OH,.......... do you know any Muslims? I live in a community where the majority of my friends, neighbors and co-workers are Muslim and have never had one try to convert me.

Right now they don't have the power to force conversion, but they would if they could. "remember that ISLAM is the most fastest religion..." Approximately two thousand years ago the Apostle Paul addressed that issue. Following are his words to his protege Timothy: "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons." - 2 Timothy 4:1 "...so why dont you try asking question to them..." Following are my questions to them: 1. Besides being born into the Muslim faith, why would anyone be a Muslim? 2. What goodness does Islam have to offer? 3. What hope is there in the Islamic religion? 4. What evidence do the Muslims have that Mohammad had a revelation from God and not from Satan? 5. Why was Mohammad the only one to receive this revelation? 6. How do you know Mohammad can be trusted? 7. What is the Muslim position on forgiveness? 8. What does the Quran say about the treatment of women? 9. Why do so many of the Muslim religious leaders preach the destruction of the Jews and Christians? After you've answered these questions, I may have more.

you are absolutely wrong my friend they are not forcing people to join their religion they are just convincing other people. if you think that they are doing that try to debate their religion tell them that your religion are wrong and yours are correct explain to them that christian are correct try it my friend i know you are good in question and answer so im sure muslim people will be converted into christian. remember that ISLAM is the most fastest religion dont you know that? its because they are very good in question and answer about religion so why dont you try asking question to them and try them to convince that christian is the right choose?

I live in a place that has a majority Muslim population. Most of my neighbors are Muslim and most of the students at the school where I teach are Muslim. All of them are people, some good and some not so good. Sadly there is a small group of Islamic terrorists here also who want to kill me because I am a teacher. I live with an armed bodyguard every day and even then I know that my life is at risk every time I venture outside. I love my neighbors and my students and don't see how being Muslim makes them any different to me in terms of humanity. I do not have the same opinion of those who want to kill me for the sin of educating children.

I teach in a government school and the Islamic separatists see the schools as a way the government is thwarting their movement.

I take ISLAMS just like other people and I do not think that they are all terrorists. I think for those islams who decide to be terrorist are just part of islamic community and deserved to be condemned individually.

hmmm.... being Muslim doest it means bad.. if a person will think that Muslim are all bad so it means that person who think like that is and IDIOT because he did not observer his/her own. why i say that? because there are existing good and bad people from a Muslim and same with other religion like budism, christian etc there are existing good and bad people from them.. and if a person who think that budism are bad so it means the person who think like that is and idiot. any way ISLAM becomes terrorist because of media i guest because they are showing all negative about ISLAM and hiding all negative about USA and ISRAEL negative side if you know that. if you know that ISLAM did not attack twin tower but observe it news is showing that they says the ISLAM attack the twin tower.. but the question is why is that there are existing bomb inside the twin tower? how doest bomb get in there? if you are open minded you will not easily convince by the media.

True. There is so much exeggerations about negativity of muslims and the positive side is usually left un told but still, this do not justify the actions that some muslims choose to do.

I think, the first came to my mind that ISLAM is a religion and one of the parts of lifestyles of muslims. That is all I know and the rest I am still thinking about ISLAM is also involved and used in terrorism.

its very clear that USA has interest to the oil of IRAQ so they attack IRAQ so what must IRAQ soldier do? just surrender the oil and gave it to USA? its big stupid if they surrender the oil because IRAQ owned it.. and its clear IRAQ will performing JIHAD it means Holy war they are defending their country they are not attacking other country so what do you think who is the terrorist? STUPID to say IRAQ soldier is Terrorist one because they are just defending their own country.

Well not really, I don't think negative about ISLAM my friend, only that I am confuse all about it. Though they have this word JIHAD that is part of islam which means holy war, this concept is an expression to excuse from using islam when times there is to be a war. It is really confusing that they have this excuse for terrorizing and we don't have that because in our belief it is a violation from the first and second commandment. Media do not show to people because they are neutral group of people that only spread the facts without opposing the rights and belief of the people, well most of the media groups do favoritisms.

Hello there.. Terrorism has no religion.. A terrorist isn't known by his religion, he is labelled as an extremist and terrorist because of his hostile actions towards the decent people.. Don't think that Islam people are terrorist, that is the most false generalization. I know many people who are from Islam and they are my best buddies. The last thing that we remember ever is the religion.. So, conclusion: Terrorist has no Religion...

Most people today would really associate Muslims and Islam as to being a terrorist. I am a Catholic myself. As for me, I have some Muslim friends (since the two top religion in our country are Catholicism and Muslim) and believe me, they are not as bad as we see on tv. They are just people like us and acts like us. Even though we have different religion and belief, we were able to live peacefully in the same environment. We shouldn't associate and stereotype that when a person is a Muslim or Islam already means he's a terrorist and would shoot you in the head. Instead, we should just respect their religion. Hate the terrorist all you want, but not all Muslims and Islam people. :))

I have to admit it. 9/11 made such a strong impact on all of us that it is natural for us to assume that Islamists are terrorists. You can't trust any of them. I don't care how nice they seem. I know it is unfair, associating a whole group of people with a bunch of homicidal maniacs. But, like I said, 9/11 was to traumatic. Let them practice their belifs in their own country. But, stay away from the United States.
