"But you have to admit that the majority of acts of terror are in the name of religion" This doesnt mean that its the religion's fault. Someone could go around killing people using the name of jesus and christianity (for example), it doesn't mean all the christians are like this. I didn't say its not wrong to kill over religion, and neither does islam say this. They are just people who do it, not muslims in general.

"As long as it's for a belief you think it's ok for muslims who are guests in western countries to kill those who help support them with welfare and food and housing? " I never said this was ok. Like I said 'muslims' don't do this, certain people do it. My point is not to blame the religion for what certain individuals do. People go to western countries mainly to learn, and many people don't harm anyone, live their own lives and mind their own business. Yes we are thankful for all the funds we get. You make it seem as if ALL muslims come to a western country to live and then terrorise it.
