As I knew, the god of the Muslim, Allah never told his believers to launch numerous attacks and creating kiosk all around the world...

Thus, this is the humanity of the sone of the aggresive Muslims, which don't even know what the meaning of "Peace" is...

[Terry]

yes, but, at the same time (correct me if I'm wrong) Muslim religion teaches to defend their religion even if one's blood needs to be shed.

[clearman]

don't worry, the truth is that Islam loses their believers year by year.....

[Benn]

so does the Christianity. I heard a lot of cases that Christians become Islam believers.

Well that is because of the yoga popularity. Along with it, the oriental culture began to be famous.

[M.Helen]

that's quite bad, I would say. The modern world must not influence religion. If everybody begin to change their religion, chaos will live in this world, not people.

It is important to distinguish between Fundamentalist Muslims, and those Muslims who are more tolerant. Not all Muslims are fundamentalists, in the same way that not all Christians support the Spanish Inquisition! There is a problem with islamic fundamentalism in the UK, which is due in part to asian communities being isolated in parts of cities that are little more than modern day ghettos (Bradford is a good example of this). Schools in these areas often fail the children (who sometimes cannot speak English), and this creates a social divide and feelings of alination.

It is not universally true - some asian communities comprise respectable professionals, and work hard to integrate with the local population.

Now Al-Quaeda are targeting universities, so even those young people who do well can get recruited (N.B. UK universities can be quite hedonistic, so a certain number of students who don't cope seek help via their religion - I knew students who started attending Church or Synagogue again at university)

The government has certainly manipulated anti-Muslim sentiment in the UK since 9/11 and the London bombings. Some Muslim communities have been speaking out, because it makes the alienation of these communities worse. Money has been poured into "terror-prevention" while gangs are stabbing and shooting people on the streets. It's disgusting. We even got booklets distributed to each house in the UK a couple of years back, encouraging us to report our neighbours to an anti-terror hotline if they behaved suspiciously (e.g. failing to open their curtains) and advising us to stockpile bottled water and canned food! Utterly ridiculous.

I know that a guy was stopped at the airport and then escorted by policemen only for having a book with the title mentioning Fundamentalism.
