I disagree with your perspective on Islam

Being a muslim myself i am totaly offended by this article .

You say that islam is a religion of blood thirst because of what you see in the news everyday. Islam is portrayed in a negative light you see muslims who kill innocent people just like the Taliban and the al kaida but you seem to forget the innocent people such as the people of Palestine who haven't done anything wrong but they are getting slaughtered every single day. It is said in the quran that those people who kill the innocent have no place in Islam and have no right to be a muslim. Islam is not a religion of murder, bomb attacks and suicide bombings the real Islam is a religion of peace and finding spirituality.

You speak of tribal brutality that has got nothing to do with religion that is culture, but what about the brutality that the afghanis suffered from when America decided to blame them for the crashing of the twin towers. You have no right to say 9/11 was the fault of the muslims when many people would agree with me when i say that it is been declared that it was an inside job another attempt to make the muslims look bad. I agree with you on the fact that there are extremist groups out there who call themselves muslims but they are a minority. Portraying the whole of Islam in a bad light is wrong and sinful because it is said you should have respect for any religion no matter what it may be .
