Islam is a very different religion. Many people don't have any idea what Muslims believe. However, since 9-11, there has been a serious and growing desire for Americans to learn more about Islam and the terrorists that come from their religion.

All Muslims are not terrorists. However, we need to understand why "radical" Muslims are finding the need to kill Americans and Jews after reading the Koran. Why aren't the majority of Muslims terrorists? More importantly, why aren't the majority of Muslims condemning the terrorist attacks?

We need to do research on Islam, the Koran, the Hadiths, "radical" Islamism, "fundamental" Islamism and other related subjects. There are reasons why these people are upset and there are reasons why Muslim nations do not condemn their attacks. Not only have the radical factions learned how to push the buttons of the more conservative Muslims, they have also appealed to them by using the Koran.

At any rate, please check out the following links. With over 1 billion Muslims in this world and several million of them being "radical" Muslims, we need to know their motivation and their goals. Furthermore, we need to pray for our safety and their salvation through Jesus Christ. God bless you and happy surfing.

Love in Jesus Christ,

Jason Gastrich
