[quote]salaam,

very true, mate.. i received an email in relation on how to counter these extremists - i'l copy and paste it...

"I notice your comments about Islam being hijacked by terrorists. 
What are you going to do to change these terrorists minds?

I suggest the following

Islamic extremists claim they are following  Mohammed's example. 
What can we do?

First, we must find rebuttals that specifically address all the 
arguments which extremists, who call themselves Muslims, use 
regarding terrorism.

The ideal rebuttal would be one which lists all the arguments for 
terrorism which are based on verses in the Quran, Hadith and early 
biographies about Mohammed, and then counters those arguments using 
those same respected texts. Only then will the extremists listen. 
The world might have been a different place today if those involved 
in the September 11 attacks had of read such rebuttals while they 
were still moderate Muslims. The lifeblood of Islamic terrorism is 
the type of propaganda that encourages Muslims to fight in order to 
spread the domain of Islam. Without recruits terrorist organizations 
will eventually collapse. (Books have been written which claim Islam 
is a peace loving religion. However, in order to refute the 
arguments extremists use, a book ought to argue the extremists case 
as solidly as they themselves argue it and then show from the texts 
which they regard as sacred that they have got it wrong, if that is 
the case. Unfortunately, I have found no such books.)

If you agree that this is the way to fight Islamic terrorism you can 
do two things.

1. Find such books and pass them on (particularly to the young)

2. Pass this message on."[/quote]
