Reader comment on item: [Beltway Snipers]: Converts to Violence?
Submitted by T.M.K (United Kingdom), Nov 3, 2003 at 00:19
i have read a few comments from people critising Islam, all i wish to say to them is when a film critic comments on a film, he/she watches it first, when a book critic comments on a book, he/she reads it first, have any of you actually read what is written in the Quran? do any of you actually know what Islam is? Im talking about the truth, not what they teach you in school and on the TV about islam, but the true Islam.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
