Hi, Unfortunately, in the rage of anger you have against Islam, and its teachings on Warfare.. You seem not to take any account of the millions of muslims around the world, who do not condone any of the actions that you have mentioned. As you will see in many of the Free Press around the world, Moderate muslims have denounced that the people carrying out the attacks around the world on fellow human beings, are far from true muslims. I believe if you decided to look into the religion more, b4 making such biased comments.

The reason i refute your opinon, is that in the past and present people of different religions and cultures, have mis interpreted the basis and fundamental beliefs they seem to stand for in a political struggle, using the religions name as a guise. It seems in todays world, it is easy to judge the actions of a few, and attach them to a WHOLE religion. Should I denounce Christianity as violent due to the actions American Christian soldiers in Abu Ghraib prison.. and believe that those actions represent christian warfare.. NO.. However, I respect your opinion as this is a free world. God bless
