Englishman:

I think I speak for all of us here when I say we are NOT condemning a religion on the basis of a few people acting "wrong". Rather, we condemn the 'religion' (actually is it not a religion in the normal sense of the word since it is more of a geo-political system with designs on world domination) on the basis of the Qur'an and the teachings of the 'prophet' Muhammad.

Islam is 90% politics and 10% spirituality (at most). It is a brutal faith which can be verified by the brutal way Muslims behave, and by the brutal treatment meted out to 'transgressors', non-believers, and apostates.

I suggest you pick a Qur'an today and start reading it. Your future lies in the balance, though it doesn't sound as though you yet realize it!

englishman Have you noticed that the supposed moderate Muslims have not spoken out against the barbarism of those "who have acted wrong"? Why do you suppose that is?
