I hear what you are saying in your last post, tar, but the problem is that you yourself seem to think that war is the solution to the so-called problems you mentioned - assuming that diplomacy has failed. If book burning is a cause for war then the militant murderous image many non-Muslims have of SOME of your co-religionists is re-inforced. You cannot say it's only individuals slaughtering and at the very same time support war against a nation if a mob burns a mosque or your scriptures - that itself is unacceptable extremism and SUPPORTS the murderers. The "justification" of terror is that no Muslim army is strong enough to go out and slaughter the innocents so the terrorist groups will do it instead. So you can't justify war for quran burning and then say it's individuals who are not representative. Now I know that most Muslims do not approve of terror, but that terror is born of your attitude that war is justified for what most think are flimsy reasons born of religious intolerance..
In other words, your own attitude helps create the environment that gives rise to terrorism which is INEVITABLY CARRIED OUT IN THE NAME OF YOUR RELIGION
One last point, you say, "i didnt say war Mr charts i said ( Diplomatic action then military ) ..."Military action IS war !!!
I've taken the time to answer you, tar, because I hope there is some hope of dialogue/discussion with you and people like you; unlike some others on this thread who are obviously consumed with hatred.

Mr Charts i ( unsubscribed to the thread ) yesterday because i think i am done here but i said i will make a check maybe Mr charts has something
ok : i didnt say burning Quran from an angry mob is a reason for a war please check my post # 160 no need to repeat , i was talking about if there is an
organised war against (
muslims or their citizens from other religions ) from this Country X , my example was clear . I came here to explain to u guys that these attacks against civilains not from my religion and i explained what is Jihad in Islam and i admit there is something important called Jihad in my religion but this is in any other nation respect itself but they call it something else and it is not only to defend the land the defence should be to any serious threat .
And this what is exactly the British army and the US army is doing they have operations outside their countries and they call it defence against threat from X Y Z , this is life but their is justice and rules should be followed to protect nation X and its civliasition and
Jihad is done by the state and the goverments not by indiviuals. Mr charts asked for an example for Jihad and i gave the example , but if any muslim was angry because of what he sees in the tv or his son killed or .... then he goes and kills civilians from the other side , this is not Islam's fault , and we cannot change our religion ! because of these actions , i quoted b4 from the prophet Mohmad about civilians . I want to give something from reality : most of these attacks against civilians
happened in muslim's countries , for example b4 few years here in Jordan at Ridisson SAS hotel there was a wedding by accident and an attack happened there ! .
Zambuck , gamma : Guys no need to repeat we r here talking about Islam not indivual muslim actions , u can open a new thread about the old ( India , Pakistan ) conflict , here we r talking about Islam , muslims make mistakes but also others make mistakes , we dont want to bring this to these forums , civilians casualties r from both sides and u r telling half of the story guys , mosuques burned as well , Quran burned ,muslim women rapped , muslim kids killed with a cold blood , nothing is without a reason , when u say muslim burned a church in X country , there will be few mousques burned as well b4 it , no need to bring this to these forums , i am a muslim infront of u and i know well about Islam i told u
no no no for the killing of civilians and i quoted b4 from the prophet Mohmad words about this , and i explaind about Jihad how it can happen for reasons as an military war like any other nation do.
Islam give the rights for some of the religions to practice their own religon like Jews , Chrstians but not all religons, for example Heathens who prays for Idols not allowed under the Islam umbrella , simply because it is the exact opposite of Islam .
Prohphet Mohmad got married to a
Jewish woman and
christian woman as well and he didnt push them to convert they stayed on their religion . My brother is married to a
british chrstian woman .
My girlfriend was chrstian then she converted by her own decision to Islam , but she was chrstian when i knew her .
My friend here in Jordan has good few friends
non muslims from India lives in Jordan they r really good friends, he told me about them .
