I am very sadden that Muslim people are being stereotyped as the "terrorists." I know a lot of Muslim people and so far, they have been good to me. Yes, there might be some Muslim people who are a terrorist but let's not stereotyped and be afraid to them. They are good if you are good to them and bad if you are bad to them.

From what I have seen, there are two types of Muslims. The first type consist of Muslims who openly support terrorism. The second type is composed of Muslims, who are secret supporters of terrorism. No religious Muslim can act against physical Jihad. Because if they do so, then they will be disobeying the verses of their holy book and they will be considered as apostates.

At that movement terrorism make into a great problem. few muslim are terorist who harms to the common people which is dangerous for us but only muslims are not terrorist some other religions people are also attached with terrorism. so, we should not tell that only muslims are terrorist but anybody of any religions can be  a terrorist.

The solution:

Yes, I know it's unrealistic game (in case of gunplay), but at least it's lots of skill and fights between terrorists (Muslims) and counter-terrorists (Christians).

[LilibethSantos]

Those that are stupid enough to randomly kill other people probably cannot even read the Quran.

[lovesybitz]

why are all terror activities carried out in the world are by people of muslim religion?Why cant muslims let peace be there in the world?Are people of only muslim origins terrorist?so trumps decision by banning muslim is 100% correct?

I'm not a Muslim, But My advice to you is the next time you are going post in this thread make sure that your not offending anyone's belief.
Well, even me I don't believed that most of the terrorist are Muslim, there are some that are non-Muslim. Besides, anyone can be a terrorist depending on what they're thinking against the government of each country.

As such, I have no personal issues with the Muslims. But if they want respect and tolerance from the non-Muslims, then they should come out and condemn the terrorist acts being performed by their co-religionists. On the other hand, they are always trying to hide the Muslim links to terrorism and are busy playing the victim card.

No terrorists has no religion.so they are not muslim terrorist only follow their ownself and leader.being a terrorist has no religion.

In many religions there are terrorists and petty criminals, but among Muslims there are more terrorist groups that do a lot of harm to civilians. In general, because of religion, there are many murders.

I've always been curious. So, muslim terrorists are told they get 99 virgins when they kill themselves and go to 'heaven'. What happens after they have sex with them all ? Do they get 99 new virgins? Does god reconstruct their hymen? Or are they then stuck with 99 non virgins?

It is not 99 virgins. The shahids (martyrs) get only 72 virgins apiece. And it is an one time allotment. These virgins will not be replaced, unless it is later found that they suffer from HIV or syphilis. But I think it is possible to exchange your virgins with someone else's.

One ideology that plays a role in terrorism by using the name of Islam, is Wahabism.[40][41][42][43][44] Wahabism and its allies including Salafism (Salafi jihadism) supports war against any one and every one who is not like them. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab (militant group), Boko Haram, Indonesian Mujahedeen Council, Taliban, Sipah Sahaba, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Hizbul Mujahideen follow intolerant Wahabi or Salafi ideology which is opposed by other Muslims.[44][45][46] Non-Muslims, Sufis, and Shias are attacked by hard-core Wahhabis, Deobandis, and jamaatis in the same way that socialists and other leftist proletarians were assaulted by Mussolini's bandits, Jews and others by the Nazis, and "bourgeois," "kulak," intellectual, Jewish, "Menshevik," and "Trotskyist" dissenters were assaulted by Stalinists.[47] In India, Wahabism was spread in the name of Deobandi movement,[48] which was opposed by more tolerant Sufi oriented Indian Muslims.

Transnational Islamist ideology, specifically of the militant Islamists, assert that Western policies and society are actively anti-Islamic, or as it is sometimes described, waging a "war against Islam". Islamists often identify what they see as a historical struggle between Christianity and Islam, dating back as far as the Crusades, among other historical conflicts between practitioners of the two respective religions. Osama bin Laden, for example, almost invariably described his enemy as aggressive and his call for action against them as defensive. Defensive jihad differs from offensive jihad in being "fard al-ayn," or a personal obligation of all Muslims, rather than "fard al-kifaya", a communal obligation, that is, some Muslims may perform it but it is not required from others. Hence, framing a fight as defensive has the advantage of both appearing to be a victim rather than an aggressor, and of giving the struggle the very highest religious priority for all good Muslims.

It just depends on how the media reports on it. Muslim attacks are categorized as terrorism. American attacks when someone shoots up a school or theatre is categorized as mentally unstable. American military attacks on foreign soil is categorized as defense.

Can you give proof of any American shooting schoolchildren, just because in his holy book there were verses encouraging him to kill the infidels? School shootings are different from Islamist terrorist attacks. Because the reasons are different. The former mostly happen as a result of personal issues. But the later is purely religious in nature.

What? No, that's nonsense.

This is why we have phrases such as "Islamic extremist terrorist."

Other issues are described differently.

Words matter.

So absolutely, it's not "how the media reports on it."

[babsalt1975]

Stereotyping is the worst mistake that has happened on planet earth. Human beings are used to relating things to experience and that is why the stereotyping of Muslims to terrorism is rampant. When one fruit gets rotten, it doesn't mean that the whole lot is rotten. Similarly, when a few Muslims have expressed their displeasure against something, it doesn't mean that every Muslim is of a similar opinion. Therefore, not all Muslims are terrorists.

Have fun scrolling through it.  I have no mention of a holy book.  Mass civilian deaths are mass civilian deaths.  You have a different label for them sure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio

There are tens of thousands of civilian deaths by the "good guys" on foreign soil.

What part of that is nonsense?  You have a country that goes into foreign soil with their military, kills combatants and civilians, secures resources, sells arms for profit, and when there's a retaliation it's terrorism.  This is in no defense of Muslim attacks, but understand that they are being attacked.

How would you feel if drones were sent into your country and bombs were dropped to kill your family off while they sleep?  You'd be at peace with it right?  Good man.

What part? The part that tries to redefine words to create moral equivalence.

Look at what I said. I suggested using words that are accurately descriptive.

Unfortunately terrorism spans religions and ideologies.

I wrote about some of the factors that drive this stupidity here: https://medium.com/ananas-blog/extremism-and-mount-stupid-5afa0eec7d4e, an excerpt from our whitepaper

Those who undertake terror in the name of Islam claim to do so due to a particular mutation in their belief system.

We have started modelling this, but in particular it appears to be a combination of two things -

i) a removal of reasonable doubt (shubha) doctrine from their jurisprudence vs the majority of Muslims/orthodoxy

ii) conflation of religious (Shariah) and secular (siyasa) law, something which didn't happen for a thousand years but has in the last century

iii) post-hoc retrofitting of actions to selective evidence

To allow everyone to explore this better we are actually launching the first counter-extremism ICO, with the pre-sale just opened here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2035149.new#new/, trying to create a solution to some of the issues I described in this reuters op-ed: http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2015/11/16/islamic-state-and-the-management-of-savagery/

We will be putting some interesting new details up there and activating the bounties from Tuesday, happy to have any feedback.
