Politics: Islam and Terrorism...are the two connected???

[Love_Spell_6]

I just want to know what you all think about this. I'm sure there are some Muslims on GC, so feel free to join the discussion.

Does anyone think that Islam itself promotes terrorism OR is it just radical Muslims that have taken the Quran out of context? Many times leaders in Islam say that this religion as a religon of peace....but I don't think folx are buying it anymore.

Look at the situation in Moscow right now....The conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis.... The 1993 World Trade Center Bombing......The USS Cole......9-11-01......Louis Farrakhan's teachings.....and now the Sniper who converted to Islam AFTER
9-11-01 because of his sympathy for the hijackers ... need I go on? Is there not a commonality of HATE for the United States and the way we live our lives????? Or do they all just happen to be followers of Islam. Now I know many times people say that their religous preference doesn't matter because other murderers are Christians..etc.. However, these people are killing in the name of their God!

What do you all think?

AND PLEASE REMEMBER, THIS IS MEANT TO BE A DISCUSSION, NOT TO DISRESPECT ANYONE'S RELIGION!!!!
