What is the left?  People caring about other people is the left?  You can't heal your wounds with hatred.  Like I said, I also was paranoid after 9/11, but that's in your mind.  The reality shows that most Muslims are as peaceful as anyone else.

I picked the option that there would be less violence, but terrorism would still exist.

Wow it suprises me how many have voted for a difference.

Religion is a means, not a motive. If there was no Islam, Osama would yell "for my beard" or something like that, and blow everything up just the same.

Islam is often portrayed as a bad religion compared to Christianity as a good religion. Interesting though that about 500 years ago it was exactly the other way around, while those respective religions, in essence, haven't changed.

I would guess that a majority of those who voted that there will be a difference would be Christian.
I suppose that majority would most likely say without God there is a void.
Thus, by that very same argument that many of them may believe in they are wrong in voting that choice as without Islam present something else would've taken its place and it's human nature to be in this present mess.

Usually I would bring up historical examples to show that religious belief has little impact in regards to the fight on terrorism, but I drank too much last night and my brain still isn't functioning at its full potential.

Instead, I will resort to a few one-liners....

I'm in New York and could smell the smoke the day after the attacks. I'm not paranoid of muslims. In fact, my step mom's muslim. She's of  European heritage, not Arab give or take, but still.

She was crying on 9/11, and her relatives back home were hysterical as well.

The middle east =/= muslims as a whole.

The middle east is fucked up, sure. But even there, not all of them wish for death upon america. Media outlets just make it look as if the entire middle east wants America nuked off the face of the earth.

What's your definition of the Middle East. Cos most of the fucked up Muslims come from Pakistan. That's why it seems like we have a bigger problem than you guys. Most of the Muslims in the US aren't Pakistani where it's the opposite here.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say most Muslims from Pakistan are fucked up. Cos I've met loads of Muslims from other countries and they ain't as messed in the head.

Did I say she was a convert? Not once. She was born a muslim and has always been a muslim. So has her family.

And no, I haven't.  SHE has though. She's been stereotyped by the airports just because of her last name, which used to be Hasan. "Random" my fucking ass you dickheads at JFK and Orlando intl.

I've said what I wanted to say about Islam TO A MUSLIM FRIEND OF MINE, who's family is VERY religious and he didn't get offended and we discussed it rationally.

If someone told me I couldn't say something which was my opinion, I'd tell them to fuck off. Plain and simple.

As have I. I've met Lebanese muslims, Jordanian muslims, Egyptian muslims (even though it's really in Africa)...hell, I even once met a Syrian muslim. All were born in their respective countries and moved here for work.

None of them had anything bad to say about the US.

I admire that, but do you have the same attitude in real life? When you talk to a Muslim do you tell him, in the face, the same things that you write here or do you appease him? And generally when at work or in school or with family and friends, do you say the same thing that you write here, or do you talk some leftist politically correct toned down speak?

Yes. I have before, I dont talk to muslims, I dont start anything with them unless they say something along the lines of Allah Akbar, I never appease i keep my mouth shut because i dont wanna start shit.

You dont censor your self but you keep your mouth shut so as not to start trouble? So you dont take your internet attitude to real life because its not politically correct? Also how do you know someone is a Muslim when you first meet them? Do you ask everyone? And what do you do when someone says Allah Ackbar?
I ask because I just cant imagine someone with your attitude in RL

The only part Islam plays in terrorism is that it is a tool to turn despair and ignorance of impressionable people into a fighting weapon.  "Look who is to blame for your troubles, your hunger, etc etc" is a common refrain amongst terror recruiters.

Take North Korea for example.  Kids are taught in school of the horrors the USA has loosed on the world, pretty much all lies but when that is all you hear it's likely you'll grow up with the hate.  North Korea is not Islamic.  When I was growing up I saw signs all over the place for the Red Army Faction, a German terrorist group and how the police had rewards, etc for their capture.  They weren't Islamic either.  I think you'll find most countries with radicals labeled as terrorists.

So it doesn't matter, religion is just the mask people throw on it so they can categorize it and be able to identify a "possible threat".  By defining the religion as the cause you risk falling down a very slippery slope.  Kinda like Germany did in the 40's.

Terrorism is simply a group of low evolution humans with the short sighted and often stupid misconception that violence can bring about change if applied to the innocent, or that they can scare people into giving them what they want.  It's never for the nation, for God, or the people... only greed.
