The comment about US troops being trained to be suicide bombers was vile. I've left it up as an example of what is totally unacceptable on this board but I have sent a warning.

Knock that stuff off.

Does Islam support terrorism

These posting seem to suggest that in the USA it does NOT

There may be similar fatwas elsewhere in the World - but they  probably doesn't garner as much interest as would fatwas from a few Islamic extremist whackjobs who say Muhammed wants to blow up Westerners.

The whackjob minority is the enemy -- the mainstream religion is not...!

That is very true and why I so appreciate the recent Fatwa against Terrorism constructed with the help of Christians and Jews.

My opposition to Islamic Terrorisim is based firstly on the actions of the minority of Muslims who are Terrorists AND the reluctance of Muslims to speak out against each and every ugly action that this minority of Muslims committes.  If these terrorists were Christains, we would be the first to speak out against them.

The structure of Islam doesn;t seem to contain the authority of anyone Muslim organization to speak out AND carry a big stick.  When this changes, my comments will be more amenable to recognizing that it is a minoriy of Muslims. 

There is also the pew Research study that shows that 26% of young American Muslims will resort to terrorism if Islam is threatened.  This is a terrirying statistic in itself.
