Hello, I'm fourteen years old and I am from America and I don't really have a religion, however I wouldn't exactly call myself an athiest either.
But I would like to ask this question: Why did Muslims cause 9/11?
Is it because NYC has a large Jewish population? Exactly why do Muslims hate Jews so much? Does the religion of Islam teach to kill others that do not follow the religion? I also heard that if a Muslim converts to another religion then they must be killed.
Please explain this, thank you.

Peace,
KKK killed black people for Jesus (please be upon him). A rober, robed and killed for his young children.
So in these cases are Jesus fault and the children fault? ------------- Salam/Peace, Semar "We are people who do not eat until we are hungry and do not eat to our fill." (Prophet Muhammad PBUH) "1/3 of your stomach for food, 1/3 for water, 1/3 for air" |

Welcome Waffle. Brother Semar pretty much summed up what Islam actually teaches. I would just like to add that many Muslims died on 9/11 also, murdered by fanatics. I can attest to this because I attended a memorial service at a local mosque for a brother who died in the WTC. It was during Friday prayers and the mosque was packed.

Welcome to the forum.
I think that the answer is simple to all your questions: you should make the difference between Islam and Muslims. Muslims are mankind, making mistakes, sinning, ... and Islam is a religion, a Faith, that you cannot summarize only in the bad things you see from Muslims.
Actually, and I am sorry for the Muslims, what I see is that there are not much "real Muslims" in this world. For instance, Osama Ben Laden cannot be defined a Muslim, because he is using the name of Allah to kill people, and that's something he is doing himself, it's not God's commandement.
I don't know exactly why Ben Laden chose New York to start his terrorist actions, most probably because it was the Business Center of USA and actually, from the whole world. I think he is the only one who can answer this.
Regarding the situation with the Jews, really, I think it's the same, it's a cultural thing from the Muslims, but it's not coming from the religion. The "hate" between Jews and Muslims is a human matter.
Regards

Peace,
Waffle: I also heard that if a Muslim converts to another religion then they must be killed.
Semar: No, we are not allowed to kill anybody just because their religion. The Quran says "Your religion is yours and my religion is mine", http://www.islamicity.com/quransearch/default.asp?ref=109%3A6 - Quran 109:6 and "No compulsion in religion", http://www.islamicity.com/quransearch/default.asp?ref=2%3A256 - Quran 2:256 Thank GOD for the Quran...the perfect source ..Alhamdulillahi rabil aalameen!!
Peace! ------------- ONE GOD ONE SOURCE OF LAW! |
