"Truth" about Islam from an ex-Muslim

I wonder want religion the drug lords in Mexico and South America have

i don't think the mexican drug lords are selling drugs because they are religious. but i'm sure the islamists are killing non believers because of their faith which the so called peaceful educated muslims are barely even criticizing.

I understand your sentiments but from the foundation of your beliefs , you sounded more as the TERRORIST . For reals , you did not give them a chance . Of course given na ang radicals angay i hate because I hated them too . I lost a couple of buddies in USS COLE in 2001 .

Do you know also that OBL was disowned by his family ? That is IMMEDIATE FAMILY ha , he was even a disgrace to the SAUD's of KSA . What does that tell you ?

Anyways , ngano na abot man ka sa illegal activities on a petty level ?

i have witnessed that whole muslim community (or at least a big portion of it) circling the proverbial wagon to defend illegal activity of the criminals of their faith in our area. it is not very reassuring

i am truly sorry for the loss of your friends in the Cole.

I wish to ask, why is it that there is what they call radical muslims,
and to where did they get their ideals?

basin si ideen believes because they got it from our bible

in all books of faith there are accounts of violence. but really today, in this day and age i have not heard of christians visiting violence on others of different faiths. the last i heard it was the certifiably religious muslims and again to the eerily quiet non-protest of its so called peaceful and educated

this is not very accurate. there are violent attacks initiated by Christians too. and again you should ask the INTELLIGENCE NETWORK if indeed we are not doing anything to help catch those violent muslims.

The following is a text of President Obama's prepared remarks to the Muslim world, delivered on June 4, 2009, as released by the White House.

I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo, and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning, and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt's advancement. Together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress. I am grateful for your hospitality, and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. I am also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum.


We meet at a time of tension between the United States and Muslims around the world – tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of co-existence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Moreover, the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam.


Violent extremists have exploited these tensions in a small but potent minority of Muslims. The attacks of September 11th, 2001 and the continued efforts of these extremists to engage in violence against civilians has led some in my country to view Islam as inevitably hostile not only to America and Western countries, but also to human rights. This has bred more fear and mistrust.

As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam. It was Islam – at places like Al-Azhar University – that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.

I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President John Adams wrote, "The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims." And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States. They have fought in our wars, served in government, stood for civil rights, started businesses, taught at our Universities, excelled in our sports arenas, won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic Torch. And when the first Muslim-American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same Holy Koran that one of our Founding Fathers – Thomas Jefferson – kept in his personal library.

So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed. That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't. And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.
