I understand perhaps how they justify killing those who don’t believe in their religion, but how is blowing up people of their own religion justified?
Like what would bin Laden say if he were asked why his organization kills muslims as well as "infidels"?
Osama Bin CrapBumb and other so-called Islamists have responded to such questions by claiming that the Muslims they do kill are no better than the ‘infidels’ to use their word since they work with them to fight against their terrorism. They justify killing their own brethren by proclaiming them ‘traitors’ and ‘false Muslims’ basically.
Do you know how Bin CrapPoo justified killing Muslims in the 9/11 attacks (Muslims were murdered there too you know)? He said that it was ok because they had ‘voted’ for President Bush and were therefore also responsible for the crimes Bush committed in Iraq and Afghanistan 
What twisted logic aye?
I don’t call those people my ‘brothers in Islam’.
Lastly, blowing anything up would be forbidden according to Islam as it is a form of indiscriminate killing which Muslims are not allowed to take part in. Heck, Muslim armies during Muhammad’s (pbuh) time weren’t even allowed to hurt trees and animals, let alone kill innocent bystanders!
Muhammad (pbuh) would have never permitted gay suicide bombing if it had been around in his time. But Islamists don’t care about Muhammad’s (pbuh) life and character. In their mind, they are right and everyone else is wrong.

Is terrorism a muslim monopoly??? by Dr Zakir Naik(Hafizulla)
Took place in Mumbai in front of a jam packed crowd, at the Shanmukhananda auditorium on 11th Sept 2006. He also gave a similar lecture at Jeddah in the last week of September, 2006.
Dr. Zakir Naik said that historic records proved that a large number of terrorist acts in the 20th and 21st century were committed by non-Muslims. The so-called global phenomenon of “Islamic terrorism/militant Islam” was a creation of the western governments and their media outlets, he said.
“Politics lies at the heart of labeling muslims across the globe as perpetrators of terror acts, ” he added.
Dr. Zakir, who is one of the Muslim world’s leading and most prolific speakers, quoted from the scriptures of other religions and proved that associating killing with Islam is incorrect.
“It says in the Book of Numbers that whoever worships other than God should be killed, ” he said, referring to the Bible, yet such militant verses were conveniently ignored by the Western media.
“In every religion there are black sheep and the media keep putting these people forward. This is a media conspiracy and a way of pushing people away from Islam.” he added.
Dr. Zakir Naik said, “No religion encourages terrorist acts or violence. The word ‘Islam‘ itself means ‘Peace, obtained by submitting yourself to the Almighty’. Anyone, be it Muslim or non-Muslim, who kills an innocent Muslim or a non-Muslim, kills the entire humanity. However, Islam goes a step further to say that if one saves innocent lives, the whole of humanity is saved. Injustice is the root cause of terrorism…”
He continued, “Palestinians are called terrorists just because they are fighting to get their land back.” By citing examples of LTTE (in Sri Lanka), IRA (in UK), Lord’s Salvation Army, which trains the young children to conduct terrorist attacks, and many other non-Muslim terrorist outfits he further said that, the lives claimed by these outfits are more than the ones by the Muslim terrorists.
Dr. Zakir said Naxalites/Maoists across India and the LTTE in Sri Lanka were non- Muslim terror organisations, which had had developed pan regional bases beyond national boundaries. Other such non-Muslim terror outfits included the United Liberation Front of Asom, National Democratic Front of Bodoland and All Tripura Tiger Force in the Northeast, Naik noted.
Drawing on international examples, Dr. Zakir said that the Japanese Red Army, Lord’s Salvation Army and the ETA in Spain were also non-Islamic in character and composition.
“So nothing is more removed from truth as to suggest that Muslims have monopolized terrorism, ” said Dr. Naik. He said the Irish Republican Army, which was considered to be terrorist group, has a history of 100 years of violence against the British, but the British government doesn’t seem to be scared about them as they are about radical Islamic groups.
Besides, he also mentioned, “Even a single killing by a Muslim is condemned by Islam, whatsoever the reasons.”
On the Media, Judiciary and Politicians
Dr. Zakir appreciated the Indian media for being unbiased and upright while reporting the communal riots. He further expressed that it is the plot of the Western media to destroy Muslims.
He also said that the media controlled by the political authorities is biased and does not portray the truth or reality. He stated, “Islam does not justify using wrong means to reach the right goals. People should not take the law in their hands.”
“India has seen maximum number of communal riots in recent years. Politicians have been using the ‘Divide and Rule Policy’ to secure their vote banks. However, the masses should not get instigated by them. Terrorism is a monopoly of politicians. People, regardless of their religion, wish to live harmonious lives, but politicians feed the feeling of hatred amongst them, ” he opined while speaking about the role of politicians in the society today.
We should learn how to turn the tables and convey the real meaning, ” said Dr. Zakir, while calling on Muslims to dispel the media’s vilifying of Muslims and the importance of having Muslim television channels and newspapers.

Launch meeting of Kafa – Enough: a Campaign to defend muslim communities.
—————————————————
Founding Statement:
Muslims in Britain face attacks on many fronts. A broadly based campaign is being launched to confront the growth of racist attitudes towards Muslims and rising governmental and state harassment. It is supported by Muslim organisations, MPs, trade unionists, prominent members from the world of arts and media, church representatives
Founding Statement
Muslims in Britain are facing attacks on many fronts. These include:
* The high-profile arrests under terror legislation of Muslims who are subsequently released without charge, creating a climate of fear and harassment;
* An increase in violent attacks on Muslims in the streets and on Muslim places of worship;
* The targetting of muslims by the far-right British National Party;
* Aggressive policing of Muslims on demonstrations, apparently designed to deter them from participating in peaceful protests;
* The racist misrepresentation of Muslim views and practices in the mass media;
* The political harassment of Muslim leaders by government ministers.
These and other developments threaten to create a climate of hostility towards Muslims in Britain in contradiction to traditional tolerance and damaging to community cohesion.
We believe that all people should come together in support of Muslims in Britain, and not leave them to confront these challenges alone.
We call for a broad-based campaign to confront the growth of racist attitudes towards Muslims and rising governmental and state harassment of Muslim citizens.

In this episode, Empire looks at how al-Qaeda is perceived in the Muslim world. Does the US’ so-called ‘war on terror’ serve only to alienate muslims, driving them into the arms of extremist groups? Can the US reverse the tide of military intervention in the region and instead try to reach political solutions that involve all political parties, including repressed Islamic parties? We will also discuss whether the Arab world has an answer to the al-Qaeda challenge.

An Afghan immigrant in the US has pleaded “not guilty” to plotting an attack in New York City. Najibullah Zazi has now been ordered to be held without bail during his hearing.
He made his first appearance in court on Tuesday after being arrested last week in connection with an alleged plot to attack New York City’s transit system.
Federal investigators are scouring his old neighbourhood – something that has put the local Muslim community there on edge. Al Jazeera’s Kristen Saloomey reports.

A look into Islamic beliefs from the Quran and the Sunnah. if you’re sick of all the lies spreading around about Islam.. the Islam that you know you weren’t raised with. then just send the hater this link.
Quran 13:11 says: Verily, God does not change men’s condition unless they change their inner selves…
***It’s time for a change!***
Translation of Nasheed
YA ADHEEMAN (Oh Most Magnificent!)
My soul is brightened by a light in my heart
When I praised God of mankind
And my soul is cheered up and the tears were flowing
Oh God! guide my heart to reason
In the tranquility of the night I pray during worshiping
While the black darkness is all around me
Oh Most Kind! Oh Most Merciful! Oh Most Forbearing!
Oh Most Kind! Your gifts are endless
Oh All-Hearing! Oh Answerer! Oh Most Magnificent!
Oh Creator of the strong predatory animals! Guide me
Guide me to truth, God
I depend on your guidance today
Oh God of the universe! You are my aid
You are the refuge of man in the afterworld
Here I am God, asking your forgiveness
Forgive me and grant me my wish

I’ve known Muslims in the UK and the US, the American ones seemed to be pretty docile, but I saw a lot of British ones were a lot more radicalized and prejudiced against Jews. I’d have to agree with the statement that most muslims aren’t terrorists but a LOT of them are or at the very least have terrorist sympathies or are receptive to Sharia.
I have fought against radical Islamists in Iraq and Afghanistan when I was in the US Army, so I know firsthand how barbaric some can be in their natural environment.
I’m Muslim, and very surprised at the other answers. My family and I, as well as many other Muslim friends/coworkers/acquaintances were absolutely horrified at not only 9/11, but all the other terrorist attacks as well.
It’s very sad that as a society we believe that Islam promotes or encourages terrorism. Terrorists are not true Muslims, but very misguided and disturbed people. Jihad itself is meant only to defend your religion in a time of crisis, NOT to kill innocent people, regardless of their faith, in the name of Islam. In fact, in the Quran it says that to kill one person is as if to kill all humankind.
To answer your question, I would say that a very small percentage of Muslims sympathize or commend terrorism.
