It's all relative when they don't define what terrorism they're against...
Is suicide bombing in Israel "justified" and therefore not terror - or am I too cynical and distrustful of Muslims...
From what I know of FMAT, it's all violence period. The interesting question is who is NOT in that list.
I'm a Muslim i reject all forms of terrorism, including suicide bombings. You should check my profile before assuming.
I was just reading your profile. I respect you as an individual Muslim. I'm glad you and I see the world in a similar way and that you stand strong against terrorism. I only wish your beliefs were more common amongst Muslims.
One note, Israelis reacted to 9/11 much the same way Iranians did - so your profile is misleading to say Iran was the only Middle East country to do so.
But all terrorists in this battle are Muslims.
This is excellent to both see that there are muslims out there that we CAN get along with, and that they are on a conservative forum!
You are to be an example. You and your like are the ones W refers to when he calls it a "Religion of Peace"
Please do us a favor and get more of your friends that agree with you (and, of course, are muslim) on HERE! We need to hear your side more often.
Great news. I am pleased that individuals are banding together to get the word out about true people of faith. I also notice that CAIR isn't anywhere on the list, which is a great sign if they are really not involved in this activity. CAIR is a liability to true moderate Muslims.
Wow you don't seem too far from the fundamentalists you 'so-called' hate.
After that lunatic rant I don't trust you either.
I WOULD NEVER PROFESS A RELIGION THAT COMMANDS ME TO SLIT YOUR THROAT.
But you would profess a religion that promotes pacifism and understanding.
There can be evil Christians (KKK) and there can be good Muslims (at least with hope)
Give him a chance. It isn't as if he could use a lie here to find you and commit heinous acts upon your family.
Also, he professes more of the descent of Persia, than of the puritanical Muslim ideals. Secular persia was a thing of splendor, with Islam being followed by the people. The Koran becoming the Constitution of any nation is a promise of evil.
I'm very glad this event is taking place, and hope it will receive wide news coverage.

"You profess a religion that says you should slit my throat."
Well now, I would ask one question in reagrds to your post. That question would be this. Is it possible to look through the collection of christian and jewish scripture, and find one or more verses that would seem to indicate these great world religions to be violent or even murderous? If you think it impossible, just say so and put me to the challenge. You may be very surprised.
How dare you doubt my Patriotism. Also, I didn't realize by the Constitution you're somehow more of an American than I am.
Please do not talk to me in a tone like I'm an illegal alien. I am an American citizen and you have no right to speak to me in your aggressive tone.
Just a few questions:
Please tell me how you feel about Israel? Are you OK with a Jewish State? Is it acceptable to evict all Jews from "Arab territory?" Does Israel's close alliance with the US make you uncomfortable? And does Israel need to give back land for there to be peace, although peace is to everyone's benefit, Jew and Muslim, alike?
More or less. I'll wait until you expand upon this to answer further.
