Ray McBlue: All Irish are drunkards

All French eat frogs

Every Englishman has bad teeth

All Germans don't have sense of humour

All Americans are Fat and Ignorant

All Russians are Racists

All Italians are Mafiaso

All Japanese are suicidal

All Nigerians are crooks

All Chinese are Cheats

All Muslims are Terrorists.


Most Stereotypes are false, but even the false ones have some grain of truth in them.

Not all Muslims are terrorist, probably... but most are potential terrorist on the account of their blood-letting religion (At least that's how the world sees them).

andyanders:

Well spoken.The truth

Owo Lee: Muslims are not terrorist, this is challenge facing everybody including the muslims...islam is peace!
The prophet(S.A.W) never preached war, in the quran, its never there, quoted from quran"if one kill a soul, is as if he killed the whole humanity and if you favour a soul, is as if u have favored the whole humanity...the media too is not helping matters, every day in the each country, we here of Kidnapping, raping, stealing,robbery,hooligalism,rituals e.t.c
We don't blame any religion for that, some few un-identified people hide under the name of been a muslim start saying arrant nonsense about islam, and the world says "Muslims".
We have to collectively fight against this. Muslims are no terrorist, we have once lived peacefully in this part of the world before now, christians were christian, muslims were muslim, nd the rest...No terrorist then, the west brought about terrorist propagated by the media an everybody starts to sing muslim are terrorist...its totally wrong!

turnstoner: Consider the following satanic verses and see if you can sleep well tonight, @Owo lee:

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end."

Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-"

Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority".

Alfa Seltzer:

I find it quite offensive that you should call these evil islamic verses Satanic. I kindly request that you modify the post and give it its proper adjective.

turnstoner:

What do you suggest, Grand Satan Seltzer?

Alfa Seltzer:

Islamic verses are what they are. Calling them Satanic is offensive to both muslims and Satanists.

voltron: The challenge is not the stereotype but its acceptance and concordance by Muslims.

"White Men can't Jump" is a basketball Stereotype that White Basketballers have conquered by proving that they can slam it just as the Black ballers. Muslims are peace-loving but there is a minority placing a powerful stranglehold on the reality that Islam is Peace. These Terror-bringers only succeed because the 99.99% majority of Peaceful Muslims do absolutely nothing but whisper in condemnation. that is not enough as it only reinforces the stereotype

onetrack: I agree that most Muslims are peaceful people. However, there are ample verses in the Quran and hadiths which are not taken out of context and clearly indicate that using violence in some form is an acceptable means of achieving goals in Islam. Muhammad and all of his companions were warriors who participated in a number of battles. If one is a Muslim, one must follow the teachings and actions of Muhammad. That is why these jihadi groups exist.

If you want to know about the TRUE religion of peace, then look at Jainism. See if you can name the number of battles that Jains have participated in over the last 2500 years. Ironically, Jains do not have any particular belief in a particular god nor any recognized religious leaders. Coincidence? I think not.

Owo Lee:


Islam is not a religion of Muhammed, muhammed didn't create it, and not named after muhammed unlike other religion...
Muhammed didn't just fight a war, there was a reason for the war.
In the bible, why did Jesus Christ, the Rock of Old Testament Israel (1 Corinthians 10:4), allow the Israelites to fight wars in the Old Testament?
Because of the hardness of their hearts and their unbelief, God allowed the Israelites to fight most of their own battles...
Just like the believers then, they were so minor, the major religion then in mekkah and the world were the jews(unbeliever). The muslims then had to defend themselves...Muhammed didn't intentionally fight any war except commanded by Allah to defend his people...

turnstoner: O.k., @owolee.

Tell us who is responsible for :

the Westgate siege in Kenya

Boko haram violence in Nigeria

taliban violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan

Moslem brotherhood violence in Egypt

Violence in Chechnya

Shia/ Sunni violence in Iraq

9/11 attacks in Newyork

Alshabab violence in Somalia

Religious violence in Kaduna state/ Plateau states of Nigeria

Uprising in Mali

London underground bombing in 2005

Ache bombings


.. which one have i missed?

Samunique: May be u should tell him to go and study quran chaper 9: most especially, the ones that are called, " verses of the sword sura 9: 5 etc.

And also the concept of abrogating and abogated verses in the quran. May be he may then understand what islam really is, and if he does understand it, it will be a shocker to him.

Empiree: @Owo Lee, do u think for one second that you can change these fools called kiriyo?. Can't u see how they continue displaying their immoral and dark heart understanding of religious texts?. They wil keep frustrating these Quran verses and have their foolish opinion for it. Why don't u do yourself a big favor and ignore them. They attacking Quran forgetting that the books called bibles of ot & nt have more "satanic" verses in them. Muslims have always display moral standard by not bothering qouting satanic verses out of context from bible. Pls don't assume u can convince these fools. Remember Quran says that they wil not be pleased with u (muslims) until u renounce ur islam?. That's exactly what they doing. Waste no time with them. I am definitely not accusing all christians here cus there are those among them that understand reality.
They also said that hitler and other christian terrorists u mentioned above did not kill for their faith. Perhaps they killed for the system or way of life they wanted to impose on others . By their logic christianity its not a religion but "Way of life". Pls don't argue with fools. They wil keep attaking u on and on. Their hearts n brain have been sealed. Reason many muslims don't talk much to them on this issue is for security reason. U better turn away from them before they hurt u. They are sick in the head. As you can see in the 90s they did not behave like this untiil their slave masters who brought brainwashed religion called christianity whispered in them. So don't drag this topic. Say little and watch them rant. That wil preserve your dignity than ranting with them.
