I'm a Muslim, & what happened to Danial Pearl is something that breaks my heart. I cried after watching "the mighty heart", those pakistanie dogs should be burned to death. these evil people hide behind the "islamic" name to give the real muslims a very bad name. what happened to danial is something no one should go through. & Islam is a religion of peace, not hatered.

I hope all pakistanies die. they've done nothing but shame us muslims.

this is NOT Islamic AT ALL.

What people forget is that religion is what gives people the power to convince others to kill themselves, to behead others even at the risk of getting arrested or hung. Religion is what puts survival as a low priority, and puts service to God as a high authority. Terrorism and religious violence, is a symptom of superstitious belief without evidence. African soldiers believe in magic potions, that they need to rape others to increase their magical powers. That is their belief, that is religion.

@moeneeno

actually in islam killing the unbeliever rewards u in heaven in accordance to mohammad's teachings. and please dont give me..."people of the book" and "killing one person is like killing the whole of humanity", becaus ther are countless of verses that contradict that. plus if mohammad is to be the prime example for all muslims in any day in age........then mohammad beheaded about 500 jews of the banu qurazi tribe who surrendered to him in his surprise attack against them

If he liked being alive he should've stayed out of pakistan, they're not exactly jew-friendly over there...

@TheBlackOnWhiteCrime If a raped woman seeks justice in Islam she must produce four ‘perfect believers’ as witnesses. In other words at least four bearded men must have watched the rape. Obviously begging the question why they didn’t intervene at the time. More wisdom from the ‘religion of peace’. Baby girls of 1 year old may be sodomised Imam Khomeini 1990.

@zacharytheknight Why aren't all of you Muslims defending Lara Logan who was sexually assaulted RECENTLY?

@cherriediamond

The problem is that Islam is a lot easier to pick and choose verses to support a violent ideology.

I am against all delusions in general, and what is REALLY scary is despite what you say, global polls taken on muslims asking about whether they condemn suicide bombers.... and let's just say the results are less than promising.

I don't believe muslims are bad people, I just feel any dogmatic group or religion that is stuck over 1,000 years in the past should not govern people.

@oriocoookie people like you are the reason why these things happen. you're no different from all the murderers out there.
