Do you think Islam has been used a scapegoat for a lot of the world's problems?

Look around the world right now, who causes most of the problems i.e. riots and acts of terrorism? Muslims. They aren't the scape goat they ARE THE PROBLEM.

My family fled Islam before I was born.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

No, they are only blamed for things they do.

Islam is fine when its not being practiced by radicals.

No. Islam has been the CAUSE of many of the worlds problems. If you don't believe me, do a little research before you criticize my statement. Most of the worlds conflicts that are going on right now, are the result of muslim nations not getting along with their neighbors. In addition, they are generally HAPPY to take credit for suicide bombings, hijackings, and murders they commit. It's only a bunch of liberals who want to defend them. It doesn't really matter if these Islamic groups and nations are the fringes of radical Islam or the mainstream...the result is the same. Followers of the Islamic faith are to blame for these atrocities.

EDIT: No I don't think that what we did to the American Indians is the same. Don't get me wrong, it was horrible. However, Christians are not CURRENTLY chopping people up and crashing planes into buildings. Also, what was done to the Indians, though terrible and tragic, was done in the name of expansionism. Yes, there were religious zealots, but It was about land and economic opportunity, not Christianity.

Not the same thing

About the slavery and death of ( millions ? ) of the native Americans, blame them if you want to, but that was not something done in the name of their religion or the name of their god.

The violent history of Christianity that you mention has not been, most commonly, in the name of God, but for political reasons

The only people I have ever seen blowing themselves in the middle of a crowd of their OWN PEOPLE ( mostly women and children ) while screaming: "Ala Akbar" have been the muslims

The conclusion I get is that these people consider that murdering innocent people in the name of their god is totally normal, good, and perhaps even sacred, and that they offer those human sacrifices to their god, a bloody practice that rather belongs to 500 years before Jesus

There is a little difference, ....I think

No, not at all, they are usually the ones who step up to the plate and want to take the blame or as they look at it, credit for catastrophes.

DaOne N. Only

yes

Islam has been portryaed as a religion that breeds violence... when it actually the person that is doing the violence aka terrorism not the religion.

Slavery & the death of millions of Native Americans was sanctioned by Christian churchs, but people do not blame the Christian religion... they blame the countries that did these evils.

For instance there are Islamic countries wear the women are not forced to cover up, not mistreated, & not second tier citizens... but it is portrayed as if all of Islam.Muslim requrire these injustices.

EDIT - I am not sayin the Christian church is responisble for slavery , BUT , they had a role in African Slave trade. And about the view of Natives as savages & using the theory ".. they must be brought to the Lord" as a reason to justify there treatment.

The K.K.K registers itself as a Christain organization. How bout that as a more recent example of terror happened by a group but the religion not being blamed.

Well no ... but they have been judged badly ... the radicals have been giving Islam a bad appearance; a bad impression. Muslim radicals have been doing wrong ... like bombing places and terrorising people, but the other Muslims are normal. They don't deserve this. We've given them a title, a label and that sticks, which is wrong. Islam shouldn't be judged; all people are different and can't be called the same as the other.

GreasyTony

Yes, but now the bigots are pointing the finger at Mexico.
