https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks United State's single most deadly terrorist attack was the bombing of the World Trade Centers by Islamic separatists. 2996 people were killed

Is your point all Muslims are terrorists?



No, but it would be similarly ridiculous if someone described Muslims as "some of the most peace loving people on planet earth" like the post above.


No it wouldn't. Muslims != radical terrorism. It'd be like saying Timothy Mcveigh represents christian ideals.


Trying to stereotype a group of millions or billions of people as "some of the most peace loving people on planet earth" is ridiculous. That was my point. I would not characterize Christians that way either.


islam is an inherently violent ideology. The Quran commands followers to murder innocent people for sodomy or leaving the religion. Martyrdom is an important concept. Sikh doctrine does not call for murdering people. For what it's worth christianity is also an inherently violent ideology, although the new testament eschews that a bit.

Obviously not all muslims strictly follow the ideology.
