You have no understanding whatsoever about Islam, only what you obviously read on right wing hate websites.
Take Indonesia for example, the largest Muslim nation in the world. Do you see them beheading anyone? Can you buy a beer in Medan, Bali, Jakarta? Are there women driving cars? Wearing bikinis? In politics? Seen the Christian missionaries in Sulawesi?
Islam is not a single religion with a Pope. it is multi confessional, there are only very loose 'authorities" (self appointed) who carry little sway outside their communities.
To put it another way, if you want to quote the Koran, then in the same breath you had better quote the Old Testament which has equally bloodcurdling commands in it.
To put it slightly more unkindly, take your hate speech BS and stick it where the sun don't shine.
Thanks sunfish. I've studied the Koran and the life of Mohammed at length and going by your ad hominem posts it seems that I've forgotten more about the subject than you'll ever know. Don't confuse nominal Islam with the teachings of Mohammed.
Fortunately whilst your ignorance of history and tenants of Islam may make you feel warm and fuzzy, indeed you may well believe that the biggest existential threat to our civilisation is Judaism or the militant wing of the Salvation Army, or that every would be terrorist should hugged or that every actual muslim terrorist isn't really Muslim. Meanwhile here in reality whilst you're agog in your warm fuzzy delirium, blowing kisses to yourself in the mirror at how righteous you are, there are people working hard behind the scenes and quietly cutting through the pc bs in an effort to stop a mass breakout of Muslim peace.
