Almost all the terrorist and extremist violence in the world today is committed by Muslims. And in most instances, the victims are Muslims themselves.

What’s afoot here is Muslim extremism – despite the fact that the great majority of Muslims aren’t radicals and condemn terrorism. If the battle against Muslim terrorism is to be won, moderate Muslims will have to do the heavy lifting, and explain to us how we can best help them.
If Americans and Westerners continue to take the lead, it will remain an «us vs. them» war – «infidel and oppressive» outsiders battling «victimized» Muslims. Effective military force, of course, will be needed to weaken the fanatics and provide security. But the support of the great majority of Muslims is an even more essential ingredient for success, one that can be garnered only by their fellow believers both in the U.S. and abroad.
Of the terrorist killings and maimings that have taken place over the last three years, over 90 per cent have been Muslim on Muslim. The great majority of sensible and moderate Muslims must take up operational and actual arms against the terrorists. It can’t be just rhetoric.

My comment
You can not understand why Muslims are killing Muslims without looking into the religion of Islam. The problems caused by Islam, has to be found within Islam.
The fight within Islam makes no sense. It is beyond reason and logic. We are obviously dealing with Spiritual forces. Sunnis and Shiits murdering each other over the right of being the true offspring of Muhammad.
There is only one common enemy that can unite Muslims fighting their own brothers. And that is their hate towards Israel and the Jewish people. Since the Jews are God`s chosen people, their enemies will be in direct opposition to the God of the Bible. The One and only living God.
To me it just seems like you want to stir up racial hatred towards the Islamic faith. Terrorism isn’t really the fault of moderate Muslims so they shouldn’t do all the heavy lifting.
Terrorism is a worldwide problem so everybody should do their bit to help.
I don’t believe that this is “News that matters” either. At a glance it’s easy to see it’s nothing more than propaganda to stir up even more racial hate towards Islam.
And surely you must consider what Israel has done to Palestine? You comment on how the Muslims hate Israel, but isn’t it the people of Palestine who are losing their land and rights? And how can you justify the Gaza War? Can anything justify the slaughter of innocent civillians committed by Israel? Over 1000 Palestinians were killed, whereas 13 Israelis were killed. To me the Isreali government sound like terrorists in this situation. I think that war helped people all across the world understand that Isreal is a lot darker than we like to imagine.

My comment:
I am sorry you feel that way. Because I love Muslims. But I strongly rebuke Islam as a false revelation. Islam as expressed in the Koran is full of verses that promotes violence. The jihad verses can not be denied, only overlooked by secular Muslims, and others who are not faithful to the faith given them by Muhammad.
Hi,
Mr. Ivar
After without understanding QURAN u can not give judgement on it, so before taking any decision just go somwhere & try to U.S it, ull find every thing is a right path written in QURAN —
Dear MUJAHID SAYYED
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
Do you believe that Jesus was God Him self, that came down from heaven?
Do you believe that without the sacrifice of blood, there is no forgiveness for sins?
Do you understand that a sinner like you, deserve to die, and be crucified? And that Jesus took your place at the cross in Jerusalem?
1 John 5:20
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
