As a Muslim, i strongly condemn the beheading of Nick Berg

As an American [applied for citizenship here from Iran since 1999], and a Muslim i would like to strongly condemn the brutal beheading of a fellow American in the hands of Barbarians.

I also, condemn Islamic terrorism across the world and join millions of others in Iran and i'm sure other places across the middle east in condemning these horrible acts.

I moved here in 2000, i was a part of the student uprisings in 1999 in Iran. The very thing that the US is fighting right now in the middle east, are what students in Iran are fighting.

There is no difference between their fight and ours, nor the fight across the middle east between the modernized - moderate form of islam and the radical form.

Unfortunately, moderates have been unwilling to take arms or act aggressively against radical islam and when we have we've been condemned for human rights abuses.

That's all.. after reading some of the posts on here i just wanted to say i'm Muslim and i condemn these acts.

We're all pulling for the Iranian people to overthrow the mad ayatollahs currently oppressing them. It's good to hear your views.

Congrats on citizenship..well stated..One down, One hundred million more to go...

Let me ask you a question, and I'm in no way trying to embarrass you..are you assimilating, to use that long ignored word..What many here don't understand about Arabs/Muslims in the US, when we venture in Arab neighborhoods, is the seeming unwillingness to "americanize" for want of a better word? and this is where the radicals congregate..is this an unfair characterisation?...

I think it's time for crisp operational definitions. To me, there is a vast distinction between Islam and Islamism. I define the latter as a procrustean geopolitical movement which is comprised of a hybrid between anti colonial uprisings of the 1st half the the 20th century, with revolutionary proxy warfare against the West. There is far more going on in this war than simple religious conflict.

Thanks for your post! There are several of us who fear that your's is the voice of a VERY SMALL Minority of your fellow Muslims.

You are welcome here!

A salute to you for speaking out, though you would have to be of the braver sort to have taken part in the 1999 uprising in Iran.

It's a privilege to know you.

Thank you for posting this. Unfortunately, there are many on this board who are ready to condemn ALL Muslims. I hope you can get others to speak out. It's important for Americans to know that Muslims of your caliber are good here and are good Americans.

I sincerely appreciate your condemnation. If you don't mind, I would like to ask you a question. After seeing all of the death, intolerance and barbarism inherant in your religion, why do you remain a Muslim? I honestly don't mean to offend you, I am just curious.
