What can you say? Muslim's can deny all they want that Islam does not promote violence,but, if one is honest, and one studies history, or, just watches the evening news for the past 25 years or so,there is no question that the people who are perpetrating the most shocking acts on human beings (flying jets into the WTC, cutting off heads of living people, blowing up cafes, bombing innocent people on buses/trains, murdering school children in Russia, terrorizing the Phillipine country side, cutting off school girls heads "for revenge") are Muslims who follow the dictates of their religion. To deny that FACT, and then to say all of this insane, barbaric, murderous, anti-human behavior is not somhow connected to the ISLAMIC RELIGION they follow, AND its dictates, to deny all of that is somehow connected to the religion is like denying the ocean's tides are moved by the moon above. Islam is inherently violent. From its beginning to its end, it's as violent as it's founding prophet.

First I want to commend the Islamic scholars for condemening the murder of the Nun. Second I am very glad they are willing to open dialogue and talk.
What is needed is to get all muslims to follow the example of these scholars. To use speech instead of violence.

and have u calculated the number of muslims who commit murders that u dare to speak like majority of muslims are fond of violence?
if u want to act like u master something, at least see it upclose, not from a place faraway.

how can a muslim be sneered when they try to verify the opinion about them? unless of course, when the accusers don't bother to hear anything against their bigotry.
