Islam is a Religion of Peace?

Is the rise of terrorism and violence justifiably traced to the teachings of Islam, or is this call to war a twisted interpretation of the true Muslim faith? Most of the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims are moderates who see Islamic terrorism as a violation of their sacred texts. Is it wrong to let a radical minority represent authentic Islam? Has fear blinded us to its lessons of tolerance and peace?

the problem are some shia-tribes which is about much less than 5% of all Muslims. Sunnis actually a pretty decent religion if one where to be religious, its a lot better than Christianity for example. |
The terrorist Muslims (including al-Qaeda) have mostly been Sunni, not Shia. In fact, bin Laden and his peers think of Shia Muslims as heretics.
But gee golly, you non-Americans are so smart and know so much about the world, though. :) |

i think shias are most prominent in the countries of iraq, iran, pakistan, yemen etc, where most extremes comes from. i dont know anything about what tribe bin laden belongs to or how many % of terrorism he is included in. maybe they join forces, to fight a common enemy. shias are considered the most extreme anyway. |
The 9/11 bombers were mostly from Saudi Arabia, which is almost all Sunni. The majority of Pakistan is Sunni, just like Afghanistan, which was ruled by the Taliban, a Sunni extremist government.
Iran is Shia, but not a very "extreme" country, despite popular press portrayal, and has some of the least frequent mosque attendance of any Islamic country. Iraq is also majority Shia, but before the war there was not much religious terrorist activity to speak of there, and I don't know if most of the insurgents can be interpreted as religiously motivated anyway. Yemen is majority Sunni.
We can keep going and you can continue showing how clueless you are. Or would you like to stop now?
