Response to Bob Steenerson

Firstly Bob, you need to educate yourself about Islam and the Prophet Muhammed(P.B.U.H). The Koran was NOT written by the Prophet (P.B.U.H), it was revealed to him by the Almighty, Allah. And the Almighty did not in any way reveal in the Koran that the Prophet must "murder" in His Name! Islam was not and IS NOT spread by the sword.
And please try and refrain from using harsh words such as "murder" in your comments because this way Islam is viewed by many as being "EVIL." The Prophet (P.B.U.H) was not guilty of crime by taking the life of any non-believer without just cause. It was the wars that was created by the non-believers who were too afraid of the truth that led the pioneer Muslims of the Prophet's (P.B.U.H) era defending themselves and fighting in battle!
