From Jill Carroll: Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!" my abductors shouted, excited and joyful. "Jihad! Jihad!" Man...this says it all. These sick MFers are inspired somehow by a twisted fervor for their allah and they hate all things progressive and civilized. How in the hell did Islam evolve into this?
From an interesting article: Muslims preach violence and hatred against other religious groups. I went to Islamic school and all the teacher taught us was how bad other religions are. He used to say that Islam was the only true religion. I stopped going and went to church instead where I found peace. Until Nigerians wake up and preach peace and mean it from their hearts, the killing will continue. Miss Jummai Shute, England http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/debates/african/762127.stm Lot's of views on the strong differences between Christianity and Islam in a place that has suffered from the strife caused by those differences. In any event I agree that religious fundamentalism borders on the very edge of danger because it is periously close to the abyss that is extremism. Extremism is the fuel of the hatred that is thrown at us by some of those lowest form of scum in the Islamic world
:idea: The seed of their problem is in the Koran itself. It gives infidels (non-believers) a choice: all unbelievers must (1) convert to Islam, (2) be killed or (3) pay a fine. Allah allows no other options...
Where does this defense of Islam that says "but Islam is a peaceful religion" fit in? I just don't see it.
