Radical Islam and the moderate response.

Until every Islamic government in the world denounces terrorism, removes all the terrorist organizations within their borders, allow the Jewish state to exist,and start interpreting the Qur'an as it was meant to be; we shall never stop expressing our views on radical Islam.

If the Holy Bible and the Qur'an were interpreted in the context of people being good to one another regardless of religion and race, it would be be a really good thing. Both books should be severely edited to remove the hate and destruction of those that don't follow their teachings.

We can only achieve peace on both sides if we can remove the radical side in both Christianity and Islam.

We in the western world have tried very hard and have removed the Klu Klux Klans and other white supremists groups.
We jail those that kill in the name of God. James C. Kopp, a longtime abortion opponent with links to some of the most extreme anti-abortion groups, was put on trial. Judge Michael L. D'Amico of Erie County Court took less than 24 hours to find Mr. Kopp guilty of second-degree murder for killing the doctor, Barnett A. Slepian.

We in the western world don't see the islamic governments punishing those that promote terrorism in the name of Allah.

The moderate side of Islam is certainly good about talking about how they feel bad about this radical Islam but they actually don't do anything about it. We see the radical side with increasing power in Iran, Syria and the Palestine state. We see them continue to funnel suicide bombers and other resources to try to destroy the beginnings of democracy within Iraq. We see the radical side trying to subvert the moderates with a twisted view of the Qur'an. Since radical Islam sees the western democracies as enemies of Allah, it makes the assumption that anyone that embraces democracies including the Iraqis are non-believers and are therefore targetted for death.

quote taken from answering-islam.org

"Why is it right and legal for Muslims to criticise, denounce, slander and vilify all other religions in any way they choose, particularly the Jews and Christians? However, if one were to respond by examining radical Islam critically the Muslims(both moderate and radical) would consider that an abuse and vilification of Islam and would demand an apology, and even after the apology is given there will be no guarantee that the culprit would live."

Below is a verse taken from the Qur'an to support the above statement.

YUSUFALI: That is because they resisted Allah and His Messenger: and if any one resists Allah, verily Allah is severe in Punishment.
PICKTHAL: That is because they were opposed to Allah and His messenger; and whoso is opposed to Allah, (for him) verily Allah is stern in reprisal.
SHAKIR: That is because they acted in opposition to Allah and His Messenger, and whoever acts in opposition to Allah, then surely Allah is severe in retributing (evil).

"Muhammad is Islam. Muslims are commanded to follow and obey Muhammad. His teachings, his life, and his actions are studied intensely. Muslims adore Muhammad, they dream about him, they imitate him. In their imaginations they eat with him, fight alongside him, and endure with him. They feel his pain and weep when they remember his early sufferings. They speak of his life and say that they wish they could have been there to aid Muhammad, to fight and die for him. I know this firsthand. You can hear it in their voices. Muslims today receive the same spirit that Muhammad received. The spiritual force that commanded Muhammad continues to live in Muslims today."
