2 Kings 2:22-23 42 children killed
Judges 9:5 69, dead
1 Samuel 22:18-19, 85 dead
2 Kings 1:10-12, 102 dead
1 Samuel 18:22-27, 200 dead
2 Samuel 23:18, 300 dead
1 Kings18:22-40, 450 dead
Judges 3:31 600 dead
Judges 15:14-15 1000 dead.
So that makes it OK doesn't it?
It seems to me you study religion for the sole purpose of continually reassuring yourself that you are correct in your thinking patterns. Are you that insecure?
Most Muslims do not. Most Muslims are peaceful caring people.
I have friends who are Muslim. None of them would hurt a fly. In fact, they all work in the natural health industry. They all donate time to charitable organizations and go overseas to third world countries and help build hospitals and schools. So do their children.
They are devout Muslims.
You must read the Bible Terry. You follow the words written by Elijah, Micaiah, Jeremia, Ezekiel, Malachi and company. Prophets, go figure. Your a devout Christian.
Most Muslims know that when the Qur'an was written it was a time of upheaval, violence and unrest. The world has changed. The Extreme Fundamentalist Muslims clearly follow the ideals of a different space and time upon this planet.
If we all who are not Muslim decide to adopt your point of view, what do you suppose will happen next? Violence begets violence. It also moves nothing positive forward.

Killing people because you don't like what they say or do will never solve a thing! I guess brains work too different to ever have peace. Religion will always be an issue.

TWO FACTORS: Religion is a good thing. It has sooth millions for many moons and centuries. People can choose the religion they want or their parents put them in. Two, I think, even if we do not believe in a particular religion, it is still sacred to that religious group. Don't make fun of it. It's sacred. I saw a documentary piece regarding why Bin Ladin was mad at the United States. The piece on television, suggested he was upset because westerners came over to a sacred land and did not respect it, according to his perspective and viewpoints, and that set him off. Desiring to kill the infidels, westerners and Christians. That being said somebody needs to seriously, seriously talk to the radical acting people of the world. Terrorist behavior is so unacceptable, I cannot find words to express how wrong it is. What can be done? I have heard that their goal is to take over the world. Well they are pushing real hard (cutting of heads, taking over states and cities and banks). I am not for war, but world governments need to get together and start working on a peace agenda or trouble is coming. . . from people who look forward to dying and meeting their maker.

Religare .... meaning to bind.
I think if anyone wants to practice a religion that they be as good in it as possible. I'm pretty sure that all religions express [essentially] the 'golden rule' being that of treating others as you would so be treated ...
Fundamental extremists, on the other hand, do nought but expand negative views upon the rest of the religion .. whatever it is. According to what has been writ in history [however unstable] virtually all religions have had extremist groups that suffice only in tainting views of a religious group as a whole giving meaning to the saying that "one bad apple can turn the whole lot bad"
It is unfortunate when this happens and to pass judgement on the whole according to the actions of the few is unfair and ridiculous. My mother does it all the time.

The muslim religion is unlike any other religion in the world, in that it finds it hard to fit in with other people who are not of their belief,,as everybody who is not a muslim is an infidel,,and strangely enough,the muslims that kill westerners in western countries,,are born in those countries,,,and people who want peace will pamper the muslims,,and peace is won by the gun,,majority of muslims want peace today,,do not know what they will want tomorrow,,,or what their kids will want tomorrow,,,,you poke fun at my God,and i will tell you my God can stand up for himself,,,poke fun at a muslim god,and they all run in to help him,,so muslims believe their god needs help,,,sorry guys,my Dad's bigger than yours..Always nice talking..>>>>><<<<<

It's not about their religion, it's about some lunatics who are the scum of the earth getting their hands on weapons to kill people who believe in free speech. It's a pity the police didn't shoot them dead, before they got away.

These people were playing with fire. Did they think they were cocky? You cannot mock Islam to the extent that they did without thinking about repercussions. I would be upset if anyone mocked my religion in the media, but being a rational thinking, law abiding person, I would not go to the extremes that Moslems do. I hope people think these things out before they act, apparently unlike those 12 who were massacred. We have to stand up to radical Islam, but at the same time, we can't antagonize them.
