Except that sunshine the Americans in Iraq are not doing it in the name of Christianity, and now, in Iraq, it is Muslims blowing up other muslims.
I bet Allah is just delighted.

And nobody still has answered Asterix's question.

Difficult question people. It requires independent thought --- oh, oh, time to run away or act indignant.

Sunshine, if you are criticising the Americans for nuking Japan, no doubt you are completely outraged by Chairman Mao's slaughter of over 30 million chinese, as that hits a little closer to home?

Are you too young to find the answers for the questions you made? You can absorb more knowledge of Mordern Muslims' behaviours from mass media to distinguish between them and what people in world consider a moral and ethical people. Then you will know how to do what's best for the world as a Muslim, good luck. And good for us!

AUA WR WB
He IS a muslim (by name, I think) but not a practical muslim. Just as if an Economist doesn't apply the economic principles in his everyday matters, is said to be an Economist (by name) but not a practical one.

There is a huge information about TRUE Islam on the web. Try this one;
http://www.irf.net/irf/main.htm

Becoming a good muslim is simple. You do NOT have to do ANY of these;
Blow yourself up or
Kill athletes at the Olympic games or
Beat women or
Crash innocent people into office towers full of innocent people.

Just remember;
Love God and his creatures
Follow His teachings (sent through Messengers)

God bless you & help you find the RIGHT path,
Muhammad Amjad

Hey Asterix, I have a good idea on how to be a good Christian.
Target Catholics, blacks, Mexicans, etc. Wear funny white hoods. Oh, wait. That's the KKK.

Lovely sterotypes, thank you. The world appreciates it. And I like the Yankees. And this is an ESL/EFL board. Of course their English needs work.

Some of my ex-collegemates were Muslims. they seriously applied Muslim principles. for example, they didn't eat pork anyway, and they always had a pray time even during their period of reviewing for exams. and most of them were very nice and friendly, they always impressed me.

Salam! Smile

Thank you red rose for your post. I am an American and have found that most Moslems are very good people. I apologize for what my criminal government is doing.
However, one must realize that it isn't a question of what religion or nationality you are. We are all human and and capable of evil. History has proven that.
The Bible and the Koran both teach peace. There are some Christians and Moslems that either ignore or misinterpret their religion.
Salam.

i think you're right.
probably most of the world's most cruel people would have done what they've done no matter what nationality or religion they had.

but i've learned that for some people it's easier just to hate or reject the whole nationality or religion than to think about the situation and be aware that it were the individuals who've done it and that the nation or the religion has not asked for it.
by the way, it attests to great maturity and tolerance to do so.

greets Wink
