My Take: I'm Muslim, and I hate terrorism
By Dean Obeidallah, Special to CNN (CNN) - I'm an American-Muslim and I despise Islamic terrorists. In fact, despise is not even a strong enough word to convey my true feelings about those who kill innocent people in the name of Islam. I hate them with every fiber of my being. I'm not going to tell you, "Islam is a religion of peace." Nor will I tell you that Islam is a religion of violence. What I will say is that Islam is a religion that, like Christianity and Judaism, is intended to bring you closer to God. And sadly we have seen people use the name of each of these Abrahamic faiths to wage and justify violence. The unique problem for Muslims is that our faith is being increasingly defined by the actions of a tiny group of morally bankrupt terrorists. Just to be clear: The people who commit violence in the name of Islam are not Muslims, they are murderers. Their true religion is hatred and inhumanity. The only people terrorists speak for are themselves and the others involved in their despicable plot. They do not represent me, my family or any other Muslim I know. And believe me, I know a lot of Muslims. FULL STORY

Wow...look at the hateful comments here. Most Muslims just want to be accepted in American society. Some people just don't realize that some terrorists ruin it for all.

Einstein's Gravity Theory Passes Toughest Test Yet
Apr. 25, 2013 — A strange stellar pair nearly 7,000 light-years from Earth has provided physicists with a unique cosmic laboratory for studying the nature of gravity. The extremely strong gravity of a massive neutron star in orbit with a companion white dwarf star puts competing theories of gravity to a test more stringent than any available before

Ancient Earth Crust Stored in Deep Mantle
Apr. 24, 2013 — Scientists have long believed that lava erupted from certain oceanic volcanoes contains materials from the early Earth's crust. But decisive evidence for this phenomenon has proven elusive. New research from a team including Carnegie's Erik Hauri demonstrates that oceanic volcanic rocks contain samples of recycled crust dating back to the Archean era 2.5 billion years ago. Their work is published in Nature.

"tiny group of morally bankrupt terrorists - Dean Obeidallah
=>hunh?
Hezbollah, Hamas, Taliban, Al-Qaeda, etc, etc, etc.

see any Christian terrorist groups on there??
You see very confused regarding the size and number of Islamic terrorist groups.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_terrorism
Here's the thing Dean, the problem is NOT one of perception, you arent getting painted inappropriately with this brush.
The problem is a large majority of Muslims worldwide participate in and approve of violence.
that's the problem.
"Hunh"? Is that what you cry out when (if) you come, Chad?
Chad you are uneducated and dumb.
A religion is something people have, or practice not something people "are". Ther e is always more to someone than what they believe at a point in time.

Most of you posting are making your own cause look even worse.
cause why?
The people who commit violence in the name are not true Muslims?
So Mohammad wasn't a true Muslim?
Unitarian.
So you denounce terroism by proclaimed Muslims, what else are you doing? Reveiling their meeting places, your suspcions of want-a-be terriorists. How are you actively fighting aginst these people?
Simple she's posting her opinion on CNN, just like we are doing.

U look gay, not musselman, but still, shut up!
Only for those who seek the Truth:
Putting the kibosh on all religion in less than ten seconds: Priceless !!!
• As far as one knows or can tell, there was no Abraham i.e. the foundations of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are non-existent.
• As far as one knows or can tell, there was no Moses i.e the pillars of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have no strength of purpose.
• There was no Gabriel i.e. Islam fails as a religion. Christianity partially fails.
• There was no Easter i.e. Christianity completely fails as a religion.
• There was no Moroni i.e. Mormonism is nothing more than a business cult.
• Sacred/revered cows, monkey gods, castes, reincarnations and therefore Hinduism fails as a religion.
• Fat Buddhas here, skinny Buddhas there, reincarnated/reborn Buddhas everywhere makes for a no on Buddhism.
• A constant cycle of reincarnation until enlightenment is reached and belief that various beings (angels?, tinkerbells? etc) exist that we, as mortals, cannot comprehend makes for a no on Sihkism.
