The "truth" is that Islam is a cancer on this earth, always has been, and always will be. It is a religion of murder, oppression, chauvinism, and hate that does not allow free inquiry of its followers, nor does it allow its followers to choose of their own free will another faith, or to question Mohammed or the word in the Quran. It is an extrmely rigid and unbending faith that is driven into its followers from birth to believe all other religions are moot and Muslims are above all other peoples on the earth. It is a religion that requires total submission and ultimately the total submission of all peoples on the planet, done so "by the sword" if necessary, as Mohammed did and preached. (Notice that on Saudi Arabia's flag, which has the first verse of the Quran on it, there is a sword?)

"...kill them who join other gods wherever ye shall find them; and seize them, beseige them, and lay in wait for them with every kind of ambush." Quran 9:5

"..make war on them [unbelievers]." Quran 9:14

"He it is who hath sent his apostle with guidance and a religion of the truth, that He may make victorious over every other religion, albeit they who assign partners with Allah be averse from it." (A call to jihad?) Qur 9:33

"Believers! Wage war against such of the infidels as are your neighbors, and let them find you rigorous, and know that Allah is with those who fear Him." Quran 9:124

Jesus said (besides turn the other cheek, and shake the dust off your feet and walk away), "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Luke 23:33

Mohammed said "Smite their necks!" In fact, when eight Beduins stole Mohammed's camels, he had them dismembered, their eyes gouged out, impaled, and refused pleas for "forgiveness." Hmmmm...religion of peace? Man of peace and love? To other Muslims only. Interesting how in Islam it is against the law to murder....another Muslim.

We're dealing in reality here, Miriam.
