What a great religion, when children strap bombs to themselves and blow up buildings loaded with inocent people. And the parents are proud! They do it for Allah.
I'm not on this forum much, and mostly I just read and not respond, but I felt the need to mention that the Koran mentions Allah's compassion and forgiveness much more than it mentions 'jihad' or war.
Codemning the numerous Muslims based on the actions of the terrorists (peaceful Muslims far outweigh these groups...the terrorists are just the ones that get the news coverage) would be like condemning all of Christianity because they let the Crusades happen. I'm neither of these religions, but anyone can see how any religion can be twisted to suit the needs of crazed individuals...only the people involved, not the religion they claim to represent, should be held responsible.
