just because you see a few people acting like that and they happen to be muslims, doesn't mean that's an example of how every single muslim in the world is.

i have said this quite a few times but i just would like to say it once more:

these people that call themselves "muslims" think that they are doing the right thing, but in fact they are doing the opposite. muslims and islam is supposed to be about peace and not war and pain

these people think that inflicting pain and hurting other people will make them fear islam. but thats not how it should be. it should be that muslims are supposed to be kind and peaceful. they are not an example and i dont think that the world should judge muslims by the actions of individual people around the world.
