    So tell me, which of the questions can be answered that Muslims did this thing?

    Your attempted insults only make you look little and mean-spirited. Would be nice if you entered the conversation with rationality. You have the ability to do so, why waste it?

    Muslims did not do these things. So, does that give them a pass today? No, it does not. Keep wetting those sheets and you may find your throat slit by the very ones you are trying to appease.

    There is terrorism, and there is crime. If the intent of the crime is to control someone using fear via an unwarranted attack in which innocents are harmed, it is terrorism. If a guy robs a bank, it's a crime. If he goes into a bank and blows up innocents in an attempt to change government policy, it is terrorism. It is really an easy distinction. The OP has no merit. There is no "one thinks it's terrorism, the other doesn't". There are no two sides. Terrorism is terrorism.

    Islam has always been involved in the slave trade and still is to this day. During WW II, many Islamists fought for the nazi causes or were nazi collaborators because they agreed with the plan to murder all the Jews, a plan that they have since picked up and made their own. Look for Persia to drop an atomic bomb on Tel Aviv as soon as possible.

    This whole thread begs the question of how Islam started out in the 7th and 8th centuries by invading Christian lands and massacring all Christian inhabitants who would not immediately convert to Islam. There have been wars started by Muslims in every century since. Any good history book can inform one on this.

    "While few contemporary Christians would defend the idea of the crusades or its most gross offenses, we must not overlook a simple reality. The Christians sought to counter Islam's remarkable military conquest and preserve their geographic strongholds from being overrun. By the eighth century, one half of all Christians lived under Islamic rule" (Church History in Plain Language, 4th edition, by Bruce Shelley, revised by R. L. Hatchett in 2013, p. 196).

    "The good works (of Islam) consist of prayers, fastings, the giving of alms, and at least one pilgrimage to Mecca. But the best of all is war--even to death--against the unbelievers. A drop of blood shed in sacred war is of more avail than two months of fasting and prayer" (A History of the Christian Church, by Lars P. Qualben, 1942, p. 146).
