My group here works directly with an office in Mumbei. It's just so disheartening to hear about things like this.

What has the world come to?

Supposedly it might be a copy-cat event of what was executed in London.

I agree with you. I for one am getting more and more disgusted every time I see stuff like this. But yet our troops are in trouble constantly for doing bad things. You know what, I don't blame them. Look what they are seeing. (OK I am not talking about raping- but if they beat POWs that have tried to or planned on attacking them I don't think they should be tried- Raping people yes- there is no reason but being rough on POWs I can understand it.) If I was that afraid for my life day in and day out I would be 'hot tempered' I just don't get it. Where in the bible, torah, Koran or any other religious book does it say Kill to Spread the work of God!Chat Icon

flame me if you will but that is my Opinion

From what I've read in the Koran (which I'll admit is limited) - the text seemed to speak mostly of being peaceful, and being against violence. Most Muslims reject the terrorists for stating that the Koran tells them to kill.

That is a misinterrpretation. What we have to remember is that these terrorist groups are FUNDAMENTALISTS...where they take the written text word-for-word LITERALLY. These terrorist organizations then apply extreme fundament views to an extreme.

I've studied the Koran (along with other religious doctrines) and it actually promoted peace and "brother"hood among ALL...not ONLY among Muslims.

ETA: Islam is one of the largest religions in the world and unfortunately b/c of these terrorists organizations associating themselves with the religion, it receives a terrible "rap"...Terrorists, are among a very miniscule percentage (less than 1%) of the Islamic following.

I have to agree that they do receive a bad rap because of a small group of people who call themselves terrorists. People need to remember that we cannot stereotype a group of people because of a few bad eggs.

if there are 1.2 billion muslims in the world and only 1% are terrorists/extremists (or terror symps), that is approx. 1.2 million people who would be classified as extremists. that # is nothing to sneaze at.

if the 1% is true...

OOOOPSS...that should say .01

I don't want to start anything but 120,000 terrorists and their sympathizers seems way low to me.

just 1 example, the Palestinians elected Hamas to be their new Gov't. there are 3 million Palestinians and the majority of them elected a known terrorist org. as their Gov't.

Thank you for the clarification. I, myself, have never read the Koran but I hear bits and pieces out there. I guess I should have associated it with the fundaMENTALists out there who would take everything literally...
