Before passing judgement you should know your subject, and I mean really KNOW. Stay away from perverted extremist fundamentalists and their twisted interpretations. A great moderate Islamic voice is that of Amr Khaled. Just google his name and see.

3 months ago. I was Agnostic and as anti-Islam as just about anyone.
Now, I am a devout Muslim.
The change in those 3 months has been that I finally let down my prejudice towards Islam and read the Qur'an. I found all the truth I could need in there and decided to take my Shahada soon after.
And just as a side-note to Chris P: if you're not willing to read the Qur'an, then don't read the newspaper to make your judgments of Islam. If you don't take your knowledge directly from the Holy Book of our religion, you have no right to take it from the media.

[8:12] If thou couldst see, while the angels take the souls of the Unbelievers (at death), (how) they smite their faces and their backs, (asserting): "style the Penalty of the blazing hearth. [8:50] it is not setting up for a Prophet that he could desire to have prisoners of war until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. Ye seem for the temporal products of this international; yet Allah looketh to the Hereafter: and Allah is Exalted in could, sensible [8:sixty seven] yet (now) savor what ye took in war, lawful and good: yet concern Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, maximum Merciful [8:sixty 9] each and all the above verses are from ONE financial ruin interior the Quran (there are greater effective than one hundred chapters)

I have met so many wonderful Muslim friends that I start to have more positive look into Islam, even though I do nt believe Muhammed was the prophet of God ( the Bible ) and Qur'an is the Holy Book. I have respect for my friends and their belief.

Sorry, I don't "attack"* Islam because of "perverted extremist fundamentalists" but because Islam is fundamentally flawed from the start.
*I'm using attack not in the sense of bashing but in that I'll argue against it. However "perverted extremist fundamentalists" should be curbed.

If I were to do as you suggest, I would have to study your Koran. I don't wish to.
I don't want to read your Koran.
I read the Bible.
I'm not into learning everyone's religion.
I pay attention to my own.
