Your not the only one out there who believes that the Quran or Islam itself is responsible for terrorism in the west. And you are not the only one who is very wrong in such a belief.

I don't understand why no one sees that Islam and "jihad" have only been TOOLS used by terrorists to invoke hostility from non believers towards Muslims not the CAUSES!

A terrorist could be any callous sadistical jerk from any background or religion but what he does - the killing or the unfair cruel treatment - will not be blamed on his parents would it? Or his neighbours? It is actually pretty stupid to think his parents would bring him up solely so he could "grow up" and bomb places and kill innocents.

Islam is a way of life and known as the religion of peace. Can anyone honestly say that they've tried to find out in what ways Islam DOES encourage peace? Wouldnt you admit to going online and purposely logging on to "anti-Islam" sites and quoting from tampered verses from the Quran that are prone to lead to misconceptions?

And if the rest of your comment wasn't wrong enough you last sentence really is pretty chauvinistic!

>Oh you need to stick to urdu

If he did "stick to urdu" you really wouldn't understand him would you? So if you see he's doing YOU a favour by speaking to you in a language NOT his own. And youve still got a problem with that.

But than, he just supported Islam. That practically makes him "person non grata" and ANYTHING he says will be used against him. Right?
