If there are peaceful Muslims, why don't they tell their violent brothers and sisters of the faith to knock off all the killing?

Are all Muslims heading in the same violent direction? Maybe. None of them seem to want to do anything about it.


This constant news of murder and suicide bombing by Muslims make them look kind of bad, I think.

I don't hold the entire group accountable for the actions of a few. I've told the Westboro Baptists to shut up and get a life, but so far they're not listening. I don't take all Christians to task just because there are some nutbars out there.

I agree, but it seems like there are more than A FEW nutjobs in the Middle East.

It's a serious problem ... and no one wants to talk about it, especially seemingly, Muslims. It needs to be stopped.

Obama making apologies every couple of days doesn't help one bit. In fact it makes things worse.

Why don't Muslims stand up and stop all the murderous BS?


It makes me think that Muslims are barbarians. Is this the reputation Muslims want? I think they'd better change their ways and quit being complacent.

It's part of their religion which is their law. It's very opposite the US.
Their religion IS their law.

IMO because the following of the faith by the word leads to violance that is radical Islam.
I think the ones you think are peaceful just aren't all that religious.

Which is true. The middle eastern countries are a perfect example of what a hard right, religion and government intertwined nations look like.

Education is not cared about, woman are 2nd class citizens, guns and violence are rampant, there are a handful of elites with mass wealth while the rest of the country is in poverty, religion is the law of the land and forced on the people. If you do not obey it, you are beaten or killed,..These kind of things are just what many evangelical loons and others on the far right in america would love the country to look like.

Thanks for pointing that out. (&%$#%

America right now is a perfect example of what a hard left secular nation looks like. They control what you can eat, where you can smoke and what your money gets spent on. A dictatorship.

Now try addressing the Muslim problem.

I know the truth hurts, but I did just address the topic. The hard right just refuses to understand in many ways, evangelical nuts and the muslims are more similar than they want to think,...

Why don't christian Catholics start tamping down on child raping christian priests?

TempesT68..we have a constitutional amendment prohibiting that.
I, for one, do not fear that religion will take over the US Government.
