 @jagger, I've lost all respect for you.
 Read through this thread, I've explained the religion clearly, just a few pages back I've repeated a general summary.
 
 "Why is Islam making the most problems"
 Guys why dont you get it, Islam isn't a living entity that controls people, these are f**ked up people that do bad shit!
 
 Trust me, there is ALOT more crime in a western country than in the Middle East.
 
 I see America's invasion of Iraq as making a problem, but then again someone might see it as alright.

@jagger, these suicide bombers are not really muslims.  This has been mentioned many times in this thread as to why and why not.   A person who does not follow the teachings of Islam and the Final Messenger is not a Muslim in the sight of Almighty Allah even though the people claim to be muslims.  To be a muslim you MUST follow the straight path and not the evil route.
 
 Chapter 5 Verse 33 states:
 
 That if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

 * Wealth properly employed is a blessing; and a man may lawfully endeavour to increase it by honest means. 
 
 * Acquire knowledge, because he who acquires it, in the way of the Lord, performs an act of piety; who speaks of it praises the Lord; who seeks it, adores God, who dispenses instruction in it, bestows alms; and who imparts it to its fitting objects, performs an act of devotion to God. Knowledge enables its possessor to distinguish what is forbidden from what is not; lights the way to Heaven; it is our friend in the desert, our companion in solitude, our companion, when bereft of riends; it guides us to happiness; it sustains us in misery; it is our ornament in the company of friends; it serves as an armor against our enemies. With knowledge the creatures of Allah rises to the heights of goodness and to noble position, associates with the sovereigns in this world and attains the perfection of happiness in the next.
 
 *  Meditation in God is my Capital. Reason and sound Logic is the rest of my Religion. Love is the Foundationof my existence. Enthusiasm is the Vehicle of my life. Contemplation of God is my companion. Faith is the source of my Power. Sorrow is my friend. Knowledge is my weapon. Patience is my Garb abd Virtue. Submission to the Divine Will, is my Pride. Truth is my Salvation. Worship is my habit. And in Prayer lies the coolness of my Eye and the Peace of Mind.

ok look.
 Japanese have suicide bombers, they are called Kamikaze Pilots.
 Indians have suicide bombers, they are part of the tamil tigers for example.
 America has suicide bombers, they are considered mental.
 
 Islam doesn't condone such things. YOU said that all Muslims are suicide bombers (or all suicide bombers are Muslims) That is wrong, it is a sterotype and if you believe such a thing then you are clearly influenced easily.
 
 These days you see alot of the bad side of people who are Muslims in the media. Bad and Islam just doesn't go together. It doesn't make sense.
 This is the media trying to brainwash you into thinking that all Muslims are bad.
 
 I mean sometimes I laught when I look at the BBC.
 My country Qatar is advanced, has lots of buildings, has the largest shopping mall in the Middle East, lots of cars, lights greenery, but then I washed the news while they were reporting in Qatar, they had TWO camels and a tree in the background, and the reporter said, "as you can see, we are standing in Qatar"
 I almost pissed myself laughing. Believe it or not, not all arabic countries have camels for example.
 It's like the BBC, searched the whole Country and decided, "their's a spot of sand, lets go there"
 So what happens? People believe that Qatar is a desert land.
 
 Trust me on this, Im Muslim, my friends back home were Muslim and we dont sit around doing nothing but praying and talking about God, we do what other people around the world do, have fun enjoy life.

Why Islam Forbids Pork? 
 
 Food and drink have direct effect on our health. That is why Islam has prescribed regulations about our food and drink. It lays great emphasis on our physical as well as moral health, because both of these are equally important for a healthy society. The abstention from eating pork is one of the steps taken by Islam to practise hygiene and to attain purity of soul.  
 
 Islam, for the cultivation of inner faculties, insists upon the cleanliness of body and the purification of soul through Salaat (prayers) Zikr (remembrance of Allah) and other devotional duties. Islam teaches us how to attain the virtues and how to give up bad habits because both good and bad grow in the man according to his upbringing, education and environment.  
 
 A human being has natural desires: food, sleep and sex being the three primary ones. He has also natural emotions: sorrow, happiness, love, fear, disgust and avarice etc. Islam doesn't recommend the complete abrogation of these impulses but offers a method of controlling them through religious education and discipline.  
 
 The prohibition of eating pork in Islam is relevant in this context. There is a saying in English that "a man becomes what he eats." According to physicians and medical experts, pork is a harmful diet. Consumption of swine-flesh creates lowliness in character and destroys moral and spiritual faculties in a man.  
 
 Medical Reports  
 
 Dr. E. Kazim. M.D. in his article "Medical aspects of forbidden foods in Islam" (July 1981 issue of Muslim Journal has described diseases carried or caused by the flesh of the swine. He writes:  
 
 The pig is a scavenger. It is an omnivorous animal. It eats everything. There are many disease carried from swine to man, particularly parasite infestations. Lately extensive research has been focused on senility-old age is characterized by hardening of inner lining of the blood vessels of the heart, brain etc. a process called atheroselerosis. When a clot forms, it results in coronary thrombosis or a heart attack, cerebral thrombosis or stroke.  
 
 Different dietary factors are responsible for atheroselerosis. Gross atheroma may be produced in rabbit by feeding it with cholesterol, but when you add lard (derived from hog fat) to the cholesterol, the incidence of atheroma is increased and thus you would produce coronary thrombosis, and myocardial infraction.  
 
 Besides, lard contains 2800 units of vitamin D per 100 grams and no vitamin A at all. Lately vitamin D has been held responsible for atheroma, by causing increased absorption of calcium in the blood vessels. In human beings, serum cholesterol is not dependent on the intake of cholesterol in the diet, but depends upon the proportion of animal fats in the diet, which elevate the beta-lipo protein level in the blood. Animal fats contain saturated fatty acids and these saturated fatty acids have been found to be as one of the causes of atheroma in man. Medium fat bacon contains 25% proteins and 55% fat."  
 
 According to medical research, the fat content in pork is more than any other meat (beef, mutton etc.) and it takes longer to digest. Dr. M Jaffer in an article in the Islamic Review (London) of January 1997 issue has listed 16 kinds of harmful germs, which have been discovered in pork in modern researches and the diseases, which could be caused by them. The number of patients suffering from tapeworm disease is the highest in the world among pork eating nations. Other diseases attributed to pigs are caused by tri-chinelia spirates and intestinal worms occupy first place among such nations too.  
 
 Dr. Glen Shepherd wrote the following on the dangers of eating pork in Washington Post (31 May 1952):  
 
 "One in six people in USA and Canada have germs in their muscles - trichinosis 8 from eating pork infected with trichina worms. Many people so infected have no symptoms. Most of those, who do have, recover slowly. Some die; some are reduced to permanent invalids. All were careless pork caters".  
 
 He continued "No one is immune from the disease and there is no cure. Neither antibiotics nor drugs or vaccines affect these tiny deadly worms. Preventing infection is the real answer."  
 
 After reading the statement of Dr. Shepherd, one can realize that there is no real guarantee of safety when eating pork that one would not be affected by trichina worm. That is why modern doctors advise three prohibitions during illness: no liquor, no pork and no smoking.  
 
 Muslims follow the divine law which is much higher than the medical advice. The Glorious Quran says, "So eat of the lawful and good food which Allah has provided for you, and thank the bounty of your Lord if it is Him you serve. He has forbidden for you only carrion and blood and swine-flesh and that which has been immolated in the name of any other than Allah; but he who is driven thereto, neither craving nor transgressing, Lo! then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (16:114-115)  
 
 The above is the order from the Creator of the universe and Supreme Law-Giver. All Muslims are under the obligation to obey it. This is a plain and straightforward answer to those, who usually ask why Muslims abstain from eating pork. Nevertheless, there is no sin, if a Muslims is forced by famine or starvation to eat pork in order to save his life.

 I'll tell you something you may not know:
 
 If a Muslim is dying of hunger, he is allowed to eat the forbidden food to save his life whether it be pork or anything else.  If a Muslim is dying of thirst, he is allowed to drink what is forbidden to him to save his life.  A persons life is so valuable in Islam that he is OK to at the forbidden food if it is required to do so.
 
 What Suicide bombers do is Wrong whether it be a muslim or not.  Whoever does these evil deeds will have to answer on the day when all humankind will be running from eachother and will have no helpers.

i dont know if you covered it Peter because it was such a long post.
 BUT, I believe that the reason eating Pigs was prohibited is because during the old days, pigs had many diseases (probably uncurable) a common big has alot of worms or diseases, these days it's changed. Pigs are treated and  are cleaned and whatnot.
 Some might say "yeah, they are clean now with modern science and stuff'. the answer is simple. The Quraan is not allowed to be changed and has not changed since the day it was written. Look at the major food related problems now, I think they started from pigs.
