thanks!!! I am honored!

In all seriousness you guys... this kinda ####### slinging is not cool. As a non-muslim who has adored friends in this forum; I will tell you -- you are doing yourselves a disservice by doing this to each other. Stop the madness.

Hey Charles.. but hey look at this video..

Its Pakistans Gun Market... the largest illegal gun market in the world.. I wonder if you saw anything like this while on duty?

i have been muslim all my life and some of the things i have seen posted here completely shocks me........

What is your take on pakistans terrorist action into india? I head today that the muslim graveyard in Bombay refused to allow the terrorists to be buried there.

Here is a group of pakistani muslims living in the UK who have actively participated in jihad around the world. Its interesting in that they are not imprisoned now but who have been in Guantanamo

about the same as when something like that happens in pakistan and pakistan blames india

This is a total train wreck. Please stop as Len requested....or someone lock the thread. It's a nightmare or obviously a big joke and fun past time for one person.

Maybe I've missed something, but why should the thread be locked? Does every thread where there is a certain amount of disagreement need to be halted and locked down?

The original topic was regarding Islam and terrorism and people linking the two. As far as I know people do not typically link terrorism with any other mainstream religion.

Then it went off on some tangential discussions as well, as often happens on message boards.

I think everyone just needs to chill.

Well this always seems to come up as a touchy subject with my family. I have some very narrow minded relatives that think that Muslims want to rule the world, that pushing pork and beer on somebody is doing someone a favor and that all Muslim men want to blow things up to have x amount of virgins in Paradise. My spouse states the same as browneyedgirl's fiancee. He states that any person in his religion that thinks it is ok to kill another is wrong especially the way that things have been going over the last so many years. One that is close to God would know it is wrong to take another's life. My husband recently started a new job at a distribution warehouse about a month ago. He shared with me that he finds a nice quiet place in the warehouse to pray. Honestly, this troubled me at first. It scared me for his safety. I tried to explain to him that I am not actually telling him not to pray but to be very careful with what he does. That some people don't see Muslims for good and that he may find himself in a situation that he doesn't want to be in. He said he found a few people at lunch asking him questions about Islam. He said well first, you tell me what your opinion is. Every person brought up the fact about terrorism and how Muslims think it is ok to kill in the name of Allah. They also thought that Allah was some kind of false God that Muslims prayed to. Not the same God that the Christians pray to as well. He said I felt like I taught those people something at work. To understand that there are good and bad all over the world. Those that have done bad in all shapes in forms can be found in any religion. That my God is a loving and caring and meriful God. Islam is supposed to be a practical and peaceful religion and some have made it appear to be evil but they are misled. He said last night that his shift was over and a man said can you help me with those boxes over there? He said I wanted to say my shift is over but then I thought, you know maybe this man may see that I'm not a bad guy and he may see me praying and I can somehow reflect what a good Muslim is to him by lending a helping hand.

I know that I rattled on about what conversation my husband had with his co-workers but it kind of gave me an idea of what runs through non-muslims minds. I once was narrow minded. I once thought that those bad muslims did something awful and that maybe their Holy book told them to do it. That they were crazy and freakish. Until one day I let it all go and realized that there are good and bad in all that you do and started to educate myself on Islam. Christians, Muslims, Jews, Aethiests, etc...rape, kill, molest, hurt all over the world. It's wrong to do this and if you do, don't claim that it is because God told you to do this. People need to learn and say those stupid arses whether they are black, white, red, Muslim, Christian, Jewish etc did that!

Mohamed also prays at both of his jobs I was worried about it also. Mohamed told me alot of his co workers asked alot of questions to him which I told him was very good now they understand Islam much better .

I forgot to reply

I would like to say Mashallah to anyone who shows Islam to others by praying at work, helping others and giving an example by being patient and tolerant to those who are still ignorant.

I would like to add to this discusssion by saying that Islam is not terroism. I will never ever believe in that. And how dare people kill the innocent in the name of Islam. There are political groups who serve as terroists in organizations , but thats for political reasons and unfortunately they are called Muslim Terroists. But I am sure now its good for the West, for us, because now we have more reasons to invade countrys in the name of "war on Terror"
