Hello sir,

This is the kind of responses I love to hear!! And you know why? Because you said exactly what I would have said about submission and faith. For me, before anything else, I am a Muslim. I and everybody else who was put on this earth were created for the sole purpose of worship to Allah. But with your comments, you are showing me how close minded and ignorant you are. Also, please consider a little more research before defending your religion. For every verse in the Quran that you wrote violent things about, I can give you 10 in the bible.

Let me give you an example of something else. Like most people, I am sure you have never even read the bible all the way through so I should help you. Does it not say in the bible...that...homosexuality is A SIN.

YES. (just in case you did not know that.)

Now, is that the kind of respect christians have for their belief. There a thousands of homosexual people who are christians. You are defending a religion that christians do not even follow. How can this be possible.

Also, you are taking the verses from the Holy Quran out of context. If you had actually considered reading the previous verse and the one after it, you would have known that only in situations of threat and defense, that we are allowed to wage war.

Lastly, I would not be talking about violence if I were you. The United States has started a war that is only going to ruin them and people like yourself. Also, read about Guantanamo Bay and the Abu Ghraib prisons because you certainly do not sound like you know anything about true violence.

I am anxiously waiting for your INFORMED response. (=

Reality can be deceiving, Don. Especially when you are blind to the truth.
