The crusades were to reclaim lands taken by terrorist Muslims....

Not really. They all at core believe in the same writings. Interpretations are massively divergent, which in the past led Christians to kill each other. Much like the Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims of modern times. None of it can be proven, beyond the few points where the 'inspired' scriptures touch on real locations or known historical characters. It's all a fiction designed to give one group of people control over another. Like all religions.

Since Christians claim the Judaic scriptures as part of their holy writ, it's very EASY to find examples of pure evil within the religion. I'm not going to cite specific scripture right now (though I can with a bit of looking, my memory is a bit rough), but just look to the so called Old Testament. The Israelites were commanded by their vicious god to wipe out entire cultures, and punished when they failed.

"Successful" religions are just about all steeped in a history of violence. The major difference I see between modern Islam and modern Christianity is not doctrinal, but that modern Christians have adapted to a larger world and don't, for the most part, take it too seriously. They want to have a "personal relationship with Jesus", but they aren't willing to go to war over it. For the most part they need a more compelling reason to commit mass murder. Unfortunately, at least in the United States, they find it in the expansionist dreams of the ruling elite, but that's an entirely different rant.

Look since religious texts are not science, they can only really be described as literature, which is in fact art, and liek all great art its entirely about how you interpret it.

For example< Jesus says love your fellow man but Christians (those who interpret the will of jesus) said go kill everyone who doesn't love their fellow man, I happen to be a Jew and I want to say that Muslims are human beings just like you and me, and what is written in their religious texts does not make them any better or worse then you or I, what does is how they choose to interpret it.

Yes, terror certainly can be a part of religion.

Planes being driven straight down by Islamic terrorists shouting Allah Akbar proves it.

Please stop the Takiyya.

It is very obvious.

Because of the very disgusting traits of is worst members and because those are the members we see on T.V.

Do not confuse charisma with scrambled eggs! I immediately shared the two areas. Orthodox and Catholics. These religions are very different.

I do not want to blame, which is one religion. I'm just saying. Under the guise of religion, people do evil. The evil that does not support any religion. Terror is not a religion of terror done by people who hide behind religion.

The crusades were some of the most violent attacks in human history, you cant gloss over the crusades and say "Sure the crusades but what have Christians done lately?"
Also what about the wars where Catholics burnt protestants alive in churches? Christianity is in a lot of advanced nations and its easy to try and forget the blood on its hands of which there is a lot. if you are trying to say that Christianity is in fact a better religion then islam or in someway less guilty, your being ignorant. the real problem lies in the fact that Muslims are currently going through their dark ages (or crusades) in a lot of places, but again its culturally relevant to where they are from and their upbringing.
 

I repeat my question. You've seen in the history of examples that describe where Orthodox Chrestians first attacked others? For example, in Russia, where the main religion is Orthodox Christianity. Were there cases when the first Russian attack on other countries? Personally, I know, in the history of the Crusades the Catholics and Muslims terror.

Ya but I'm saying there are hundreds of millions of Muslims, that don't believe the same way as the ones you are referring too, like Catholics and protestants and Mormons are all different from each other.

Muslims may all read the same book but interpretation plays a role. I'm not a huge fan of the teachings of this particular religion but i respect all peoples and all faiths. Muslims make up vast amount of people and surely they can not all be branded with the same brush, there is a big difference between Muslims from Canada, Myanmar and say Pakistan for example. those are 3 very different places with very different cultures of people, and surely they are more then just  their religion. Human beings are very complex creatures

Yes, what we hear and see on the television and on the internet gave as an impression and perception that Islam is the root of terrorism.  The teachings, beliefs, and the scripture of Islam that gives Muslims the idea or like permission to do all brutal acts that other so called "Muslims" do.  Media gave the perception that religion Islam promotes terrorism.   

People hate Islam because of the current media view on it scaring the shit out of people. Combined with the fact that due to the mass number of Muslims around the globe, there are a large number of secular and unfortunately fundamentalists alike.

Many people on here will accuse Islam of having barbaric views but religeon is about what you focus on. I assure you Judaism and Christianity have barbaric scripture as well, but we don't focus on them in today's society. its unfair to blame or categorize all of Islam as one group of people because they are actually hundreds of millions of people, with very different beliefs and values depending on where they are from and how religiously they were raised.

Terrorism has changed the thinking of the people of the Muslim community that promotes

Give examples of where you can see that Christianity is a violent religion. Yes, Christians, strict rules. But it is not cruel. Christianity encourages strictly refers to itself. But Christianity, or when they did not call for violence against other religions. When you see examples of Christian violence. Do not confuse the Orthodox and Catholics. Orthodox, or when not to attack other religions. Orthodox, defended himself.

Well..
no. But the major ones for sure. However, Christianity (which I view as a horrible religion), has mellowed out. Islam has not. If Christians followed their religion, they would be as or more violent than the Muslims. Thankfully, Christianity grew up. They've realized (for the most part) that not everyone is going to convert, even with the sword. Islam has not reached this point. Given the seven hundred year disparity, not all that surprising, but with modern weapons, it becomes a MUCH more serious problem. 700 years ago, ONE fanatic couldn't waste very many innocents before being killed or negated himself. This is no longer true.

The questions stand. Your red herring has been addressed.

You have described almost every religion out there. If you do not want to take the time to research stuff for yourself I will be happy to list out the similarities between all of the major religions for you.  It only requires a search.

No, I have not described almost every religion out there.  I have specifically described Islam today.

You are attempting to equate Christianity of way in the past as comparable.

People see through that pretty darn fast.

You just described almost every religion out there, not specifically Islam. The Christian bible has several instances of women being stoned to death as well as people being burned alive with fire for partaking in homosexual acts.

Is it okay to stone women to death?

Is it okay to kill homosexuals?

Is it okay to kill those who attempt to leave Islam?

Please answer simply yes or no.

yeah, so do I. I think many people has wrong understanding about Islam or Muslim. As I know, Islam is nice religion like others religion. I think just because terrorist are dominant by Muslim, people just take short cut to understand it. Like this logic scheme: Terrorist members are dominant by Muslim, and terrorists are bad people, people hate bad people. So the conclusion is people hate Muslim. It is absolutely wrong logical thinking.
Can I say that the true or nice Muslim are the victim from terror tragedy?

Actually if we see again, there are many isms in some religions. Like in Christian, there are Bethelism (Church), Pentecostalism, and so on. So do Islam, in my country such as Muhammadyah ism, Naydathul Ulama ism, and others (I don't have many knowledge about it, maybe there are many local ism more). So, the terrorism has it own ism which based on Islam religion. Although, (I think) its not the pure or the true Islam anymore.

So, maybe that's why people see Islam as religion of terrorists and they hate terrorist.
I don't have Muslim or Islam, but I hate terrorist.
