Islam = barbaric, idiotic movement


Imagine if Christians today would continue hunting for witches, organize crussades, support inquisition, etc. etc. Well that is exactly what Islam is all about - either you support it, or you are basically unworthy to live, and in today's modern world it sounds barbaric. Yeah yeah i know there are peaceful believers, but I personally am so sick of these cowards and animals who can only express their beliefs with terror and killings. I actually thought The Kingdom tried too hard to be balanced and fair. It doesnt matter - everytime American filmmakers will try to depict Islamic movement, they will be called infidels and biased. So why try? If they hate us so much, why are we to be called racist if we hate them as well? I am done trying to be thoughtful and no i do not want to understand their side of the story. I just know that they are always the ones striking first and they are the ones who are unworthy to walk on this earth. We try to be civilized and all we receive is more hatred and sarcasm...

Please people, let's just go back to watching movies like the A-Team or even a mind twister like Inception. Movies that don't try to remind us how *beep* up our world is! Fun movies......

Do I see sheets of plastic in your future?

Islam isn't the problem- it's people taking things to a radical level that is the problem. People like you who make generalizations are ALSO part of the problem.

That's like blaming facebook for the mom who neglected her baby in the tub and it drowned. Facebook wasn't the problem- the mom was obviously unfit.

Until people learn to recognize that Islam, the religion, is merely a device used by terrorists than we will always have hatred against each other and the fighting will continue.

The whole message of the movie is that hate begets hate and until we learn to treat each other as brother and sister then we will be doomed to repeat these terrible tragedies that keep occurring.

These terrorists are the product of oppression, the ones who do all the dirty work are poor and uneducated souls who don't know better. The LEADERS are the ones who use Islam to justify their own selfish means (they lie when they say they do it for Islam- they do it because they are selfish), and those are the ones who need to be removed from society. Not your average, everyday, Muslim. If Islam wasn't around something else would be been used as an excuse. Try to remember that next time you spew or think badly towards your Muslim neighbor who has nothing to do with these terrorists.

I met a woman, hardcore Christian, we became pretty close, one day she found out I was Muslim, and it shocked her so bad because she was born to believe we were all heathens and people full of hate. I turned her whole way of thinking upside down because she realized all those years she was wrong. Maybe if you took the time to get to know a real Muslim person you'd find that out for yourself.

Christians and Muslims screw it all up for the both of us.

Why? Because they're both playing the flip sides of an apocalyptic prophecy. Christians think Israel has to be in Christian hands for Jesus to come back, and Muslims think they have to be in Israel for their end of times story. This simple fact dominates so much of foreign policy that it's ridiculous. If the Evangelical Christians just dropped their *beep* and allowed for a two party state in Israel we could avoid so much conflict.
