    According to me it is > Islam and The Qur'an Only !
    It is all because of their orthodox thinking & what they call as Quran ;)


    By the way what do you personally feel Yo Yo ? :)

    Islam and the Qur'an Only! are to blame for all the Islamic Terrorism.

    And from what I see in the poll - The majority seem to think so as well. Overwhelmingly

    You said Islam and Quran only. Let me see are guys Muslims or have you learnt or read the Quran and its meanings. Have you. All you guyz have is what you get from the media.

    If you want to say Islam and the Quran only then read and learn what islam and quran is all about. You guyz are just jealous.

    The cause of Islamic terrorism are those people who havent learnt Islma and Quran just like you. And just see how America reacted after Iran started some neuclear activities. Just jealous.

    btw, i'm not an Iranian. For Indians: Why do you hate Muslims? You should respect every religion on earth.

    Yes we havent learned the Qur'an yet.

    Neither all the terrorists who commit killings and terrorist acts and do this in name of Allah or Jihad. They must be ignorant of their religion and beliefs than.

    I voted for "both".

    Obviously since I believe all mainstream religions are partially responsible for murder, I don't see Islam as any exception. However, I do feel that hostile western foreign policies towards the middle east have greatly helped to incite and breed hatred.

    You don't defeat mind-creations with more mind creations.

    Really? Sudan, Algeria, Nigeria, Indonesia, India, Philliphines, et al...all from people that haven't learned it....wow.

    Jealously requires the desire to have...we have the bomb.
    Fairly big generalization there.....

    Well, to some level I agree with you.

    And honestly, had America or the world had no interest in oil, I'm sure we'd let the majority of the violence between the shi'a and sunnis just go on and on, without much concern. It would be the next America's Africa if it was without so much oil.

    I'm sure even Israel would take the back-burner.

    I find this to be an interesting link talking about what the Bible and Quran say about topics.

    http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran/says_about/index.htm
    http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/index.htm

    The modern Christian ignores much of the old testment, and focus more squarely on the gospel. Personally, through my life and questions, I know most people don't read the bible, they just take their priests interpetations, which are usually different per particular sect...and often toned down from the days where religious people once quoted Leviticus to condone slavery.

    I still think that the problem with the Quran is that it's said to be directly from god; so among the many quotes, you can see words that may be used to justify actions....whether or not each or every muslim believes in such is probably unlikely.

    I'm going to do a bit of diving in these topics....

    Have a read of this.
    http://www.ahmad-world.com/me/debating-islam-good-or-bad/

    I read it a couple of months ago, I guess it shows that with almost all religious texts you can read into it what you want. If you're looking for peace and love then you'll find it, if you're looking to kill people in the name of religion you'll find that as well.

    I think we should leave this on the scholars of religions who have given their lives in the studies of scriptures. There has been a dialog between Dr. William Campbell (Who got an award for writting a book against Islam) and Dr. Zakir Abdul Kareem Nayek in 2000 in America. Both of them are medical doctors by profession

    Following is the URL where you can watch the videos of the conversation between two of them followed by a challenging question and answer session where every asnwer to all of the questions posed by non-mulims has been asnwered

    http://www.irf.net/irf/videogallery/index.htm
    Username is: nance22629 (Case Sensitive)
    Password is: india123 (Case Sensitive)

    Watch those videos. Listen to the comments and then give your opinion

    scholars of religions should never be overly trusted. If they were unbiased, they would not be followers of different religions themselves. The whole "your not educated enough to understand" excuse doesn't always fly here.

    Logic is something that you must always consider and not just what you think and what you see. These are the people who have clarified a lot of things so that we may live peacefully

    What do you mean by terrorists.
    You can choose ""Islam and Quran only"" in the sense that the terrorists have'nt learnt and understood Islam and Quran. Not in the sense that Islam and Quran is teaching Terrorism. This thing should be unerstood very clearly.
    Just show me one sentence in the Quran where it says: Hijack a plane and Kill Innocent Lives.

    *yawn* there are countless passages preaching violence against Jews, Muslims and non Believers. Can someone please post some of the links again? I will create a page of my site with an easy to remember url. Seems like Muslims like to see us run around in circles when the Quran is exposed for the violent book that it is :rolleyes:

    This will be the url: http://www.frogengine.net/quran/

    Already have a pretty good page linked to. :rolleyes:
