You are so confused...

1. stop calling your brothers and sisters 'terrorists'

2. go look up the word 'innocent' please

3. learn the basics of islam and jihad before you speak, PLEASE. because Allah WILL judge you on every word you speak.

4. islam is NOT a religion of peace. islam is a religion of submitting to Allah's will. If the enemy inclines to peace, so do we. but if they massacre us and slaughter us, we are allowed to retaliate. Duh. it's called common sense.

Islam is a religion of peace, the quran teaches to love our neighbours no matter what caste creed religion race whatever.thats why islam is teh fastest growing religion in the world.Race was never a issue the first slave freed was a man called BILAL who was freed by the Prophet.Our Prophet released tjousand in his life time.Where he boughts slaves and emancipated them.

By the way your version of the quran chaper 9 verse 29 doesnt say that you fool...Stop twisting and lying...

good video. however on the suicide bombing part. most of the major islamic scholars have said that it is haram to do such acts. even if the intention is purely to attack the enemies and kill them. and allah knows best

Having looked & listened to both sides, my view is that people in the West/US should look at the cause/s that has/ve created the Terror. There are two: Defence Expenditures & Double Standards of the West/US. Defence Budgets of over $1 trillion ($650 bn in the US)I has to be justified. Terrorism is the perfect enemy. West/US has plunged a sword in the heart of Islam: I^%^ Realistically it should have been in Europe. Europeans killed the Jews not the Palestinians or Muslims. I'm not reigious.

Lehi assassinated prominent politicians as a strategy. For example, on November 6,1944, Lord Moyne, the British Minister of State for the Middle East, was assassinated. The act was controversial among the Zionist militant groups, Hagannah sympathizing with the British and launching a massive man-hunt against the other Lehi and Irgun. After Israel's 1948 founding, Lehi was formally dissolved and its members integrated into the Israeli Defense Forces.

@themoonz I have to correct you and say you're msiguided. Just examin what you stated in point 4. Islam is derived the word "salaam" which means "peace". Islam is a religion of peace and submission to the will of God. That's the accurate meaning. So for you to make a statement like that really makes lives of good muslims difficult.

I like this guy. He's smart! ^^

[israelifaggot]

islam is against terrorism, killing innocent civlians and committing suicide are both against the shariah.
