Hello there, I know you're probably rushing here to hit me hard for the topic but take a minute to understand me.

Let me state that this is by no means a religion war. Please, I beg you in the name of anything you serve , don't turn this to a religion war.

There are many things I like about Muslims,

* Muslims LOVE themselves. I have always noticed this, Islamists love themselves and really live like ideal brothers and sisters. It's very rare to see a Muslim hating on his/her fellow Muslim brother/sister. I really like that.

*The biggest reason I like Muslims is that they don't have denominations. They read the same holy book and have the same beliefs. A Muslim from Lagos can travel to Abuja and enter ANY random mosque to pray. They don't discriminate.

Something has been bothering me right from time and I've not been able to get an answer.

Why is it that terrorists are always portrayed as Muslims/ Terrorists portray themselves as Muslims?

This thing has been confusing me since I was small; watching movies, seeing documentaries, seeing videos on the internet, virtually all terrorists appear as Muslims.

I know Islam is a religion of peace and this is why I'm confused. Can anyone help with an answer?


Please I'd like to reiterate that this isn't a religion war. Thanks

PS : I'm a Christian.

Yes Islam is a peaceful religion, but the bad eggs from amongst the Muslims are portrayed as real and moderate Muslims. That is why you'll hardly hear the media reporting any positive news about Muslims.
