Sure, there are plenty of peaceful Muslims, but that doesn't make Islam a peaceful religion. The Muslim extremists are behaving consistently based on the Quran, while something like Westboro Baptist Church aren't behaving consistently based on God's Word, the Bible. It's really apples and oranges, but let's not beat around the bush. A spade is a spade is a spade. And all of this fighting goes much further back than the US dabbling in the Middle East. Think before the Ottoman Empire days, think further back than the Crusades. Think back to the conflict that incited the Christians to take back their nations from the Muslims (the real reasons for the Crusades). Perhaps the conflict began even earlier.

"Reaping what it has sown"? Prejudice means to pre-judge a group or whatever ...I think the whole world has tried to give this muslim religion the benefit of the doubt...I also think that left-wing nonsense and silly terms like prejudice is getting people killed.... I would not allow another muslim into this country if it where up to me..its not.
look this religion has shown what it is again and again if some of you want to pretend its not a religion of murder and slavery that's on you...I have judged the issue based on the facts ...that's not prejudice, thats not hate thats common sense .

look lady the reason people died is because people like you have been telling other people that's its wrong to call evil what it is... you can live in a left-wing fantasy world where you use PC terms to explain away the truth.... not me and not many others who have enough sense to see what is going on is insane.... as a Christian ...to defend this religion and the evil it causes is "evil" now how you like that term?
I never said that Islam wasn't a violent religion...but peaceful Muslims are NOT the issue here. It's radical and mentally disturbed people. Imagine growing up in a war torn country and a gun is placed into your hand at a young age, they drill it into your head that this is right, that if you don't do this or that then you will die, that if you kill yourself for this purpose then you will be rewarded after death. Christianity had it's own problem with people like this for a LONG time but it has changed in the past 100 years...we just have idiots like the westboro baptist church.
The real reason is that these groups of extremist have been created are because of RECENT events, as in the past 20 years ago...not 1000 years ago. As I stated, a lot of the countries and cities in the middle east were a lot more peaceful until the US started messing around before and after 9/11...

Haven't read all recent posts here, but I just wanted to point this out. This conflict has been in existence since Esau and Jacob. It is not because of recent events. America has nothing to do with how these people ended up like this. And if we look back, the ancient times were even more barbaric. I have to agree with Tintin. The religion itself, the faith the Quran, has always been anti Christian. We're not against the Muslims because they are people. But evil is evil and can't be half good.
You and a few others are misinterpreting what I said. I NEVER defended Islam...if I remember correctly I was defending people...people who are actually good. People who had nothing to do with what happened. One of my dearest friends here is Muslim and he doesn't understand people like you because the way you think of Muslims are kind of how extremist Muslim's think of us Christian's... You're filled with hate and prejudice views that you aren't a shining beacon of what a Christian is.
This dear Muslim friend of mine said that he couldn't believe that I was actually being nice to him. I asked him why he said this and he told me that many Christians, like yourself there Mitspa (maybe you're not Christian, not sure), call him evil, try to stare him down, have even spit on him, and treat him like he's the plague when he walks by. I had to explain to this man that this isn't what Christianity is really about and that we're suppose to be like Jesus....and I didn't see a lot of people on this post being like Jesus...
Are you surrounded by Muslims everyday? Do you talk with them face to face? Or are you getting these ideas that all Muslims are evil from Fox News...hmmmm. I see them everyday when I'm walking down the street, in my class, when I socialize...you see the majority of them on TV, I'm sure...
I won't respond anymore to someone so...blind because I can't even comprehend how your brain works. There are evil people in every religion and unfortunately Islam has MANY extremists and their word is wrong...but that doesn't mean that all of it's followers are evil and it doesn't mean that people like me should or will get killed by them because I choose to be kind.
If I were to murdered by one of them (most ridiculous thing I have had to talk about hypothetically) , I would at least die knowing that I was kind and did my best to represent my beliefs instead of being a closed minded xenophobic.
Regardless, GBU and a great day.

There will be more, brother. So hang in there. Now is the time for Christians to move forward. Our weapon is love, theirs is death. Needless to say, there will be lots of deaths. But we have hope, we'll just have to keep reaching out to as many lost souls as we can.
I will take that as a joke cause I know you don't mean to offend women. 
Maybe when these monsters take over in the west you women will stop talking so much...and driving and walking around uncovered, and going to school etc... They will put you all in your place
Yeah, I would have to agree on this particular point that the lack of peace in that region is nothing new. Perhaps the media not being as prevalent made it seem so. You can even look back to 1947 with the Partition Plan and all of that and Jewish buses being attacked the very next day. It was never peaceful.
However, I also agree with others that it's wrong to put all muslims under the same umbrella with these extremists. There are peaceful muslims. Not all of them are evil or believe in evil things. I actually have a friend who is muslim myself and he is very peaceful and not against christians whatsoever. It's unfortunate that the good ones deal with the stereotypes and prejudices created by the bad ones.

I am NOT talking about ISLAM itself, I'm talking about it's good and bad people...and not all Muslims believe the quote that you placed so I'm not sure what you're getting at here. I'm NOT talking about the past either, I'm talking about current events in the past 20 years that cause these types of incidents. I don't need a history lesson, I had to study the Islamic religion in a comparative religion's class, I wrote a 25 page paper about it...I know the history and standing of Islam.
Ahhh, you're from Belgium...do you speak Dutch or French, or both?

Ok then, I understand you're trying to show the differences between the people and a religion. I agree that there are nice 'Muslims' but to be a Muslim means to "submit to Allah and his prophet" right? Then how can we compare these nice people who claim to be Muslims with the ones who really obey Allah and Mohammed (ISIS).
Well... the events that happened in the last 20 years that helped create this chaos are not the only cause of all this terrorism. After WWI, the Ottoman Empire was abolished by the West (because they were a threat to Europe). And now ISIS and other Islamic terrorist groups are literally speaking of this event in history and using it as a pretext to now invade and (re)conquer Europe.
Yeah, I'm living in Flanders so my native language is Dutch, I do speak some French though.
