Religion and logic

Gee-wiz I never knew that most Muslims were terrorists! That's a shocker! By chance are you a journalist, if so.... a bit biased aren't' we. It seems that that you think all Muslims are all helping terrorists in one way or another. Why don't you try to be a bit more logical and not so idealistic next time you post something like this.

I do not agree with the killing of innocent people in the name of any religion (ever heard of the Spanish inquisition, was that Muslim?). Also usually the suicide bombers kill even some of their own fellow Muslims, just like the KKK who think its a Christian way to kill black people, and so why don't you also study Islam and its roots a bit more before you go accusing just about every Muslim on the planet of some how being a terrorist. Its ignorance like yourself that allow ideals like terrorism flourish; they didn't think about logic, empathy, or compassion for their fellow man either. Religion is not the enemy; man's fear of being alone without something to believe is the enemy.

Man becomes so afraid of the unknown that it lashes out desperately to believe in something even if that means hurting someone else or feeling better about someone else, people are afraid of themselves more than anything else. So if you are so high and mighty and righteous in your beliefs then I dare you to reply to this, better yet if you're so right then I see no harm in thinking and researching the other sides view.
