Oh come on....you are brain washed by the media. I'm christian but I don't think that islam is bad. If someone offend your family of someone that you love, U aren't going to be mad?

After reading the Qu'ran and the bible it is very easy to see which one is the religion of love and compassion, of forgiveness and grace, of mercy and salvation.
Yes, islam fundamentally can be a peaceful religion, but it seems only for muslims.
Almost every religion in the world claims their's is the only way, to heaven, peace, salvation, happiness, etc etc
but islam has the mandate to conquer and convert the rest of the world.
If you do not convert, your choice is either be subjugated to (supreme) islamic rule or the sword.
Personally I feel very strongly that the majority of muslims have no bad intentions whatsoever and want peace and prosperity and happiness like anybody else.
Unfortunately it seems that Islam is being hijacked by terrorists, conmen, sectarians, politicians, arms dealers etc. and that it is more about power and influence and making money than about religion.
Those people need to be hunted down and justice needs to be served in order to protect all free societies and peace loving people.
ALso I am still waiting for a clear statement from a respected and authorised islamic body condemning violence in the name of islam and promoting peace and tolerance.
As long as thats not forthcoming I have to go with what the pope cited in his speech and conclude that islam is a violent conquering religion.
Please don't forget, there is only one God, who gave the life of his son to save us all from sin and to offer us forgiveness and grace for life eternal, recognising our human weaknesses and loving us despite.
And in his book he says very clearly that he is the only God and salvation is only through his son.
So for any real christian out there the fact is, that islam is not the right religion and allah cannot save you.
God loves you

no they really are a peaceful religion... but like Hitler as a Catholic... or the KKK of some religions, there are always radicals that make any religion look bad and get more attention than the majority of the participants who practice peacefully... read The Kite Flyer if your interested in how two of the religions work and how evil a lot of the Islam community feels about radicals such as the Taliban

LOL. Yup, pretty much. I've been reading the Koran since 9/11, and I am not particularly impressed with its 'peacefulness'. The more I read, the more I'm convinced that they are LYING about being peaceful. The only peace they recognize is that of the grave. So yeah, they are peaceful in that way. They want the rest of us DEAD.

So it would seem. It's hard to understand the mentality behind this kind of attitude but it probably has a lot to do with religious leaders competing to whip up outrage against non-Muslims and thereby gain *themselves* credit, adding to their power, wealth and prestige. I would imagine that the bulk of the population follow the attitudes of their leaders in much the same way that Christian Americans follow the attitude of George Bush. Leaders have always manipulated the populace like this throughout history.

That about sums it up. Remember, Mohummad taught that non muslims have three choices:
1. Convert
2. Pay jizya and accept being second class citizens
3. Die
Some religion of peace, huh?

That is about the extent of it, I've had it with all Muslims, even the so called moderates, they are supposed to be the majority, but are noticeably quiet.
They are ignorant pigs..
