Killing innocents - this is peace?

I really enjoyed the article - makes perfect sense. My biggest issue with Muslims is how they all keep telling me Islam is a religion of peace. I sure don't see it. Suicide bombers indiscriminately killing innocent people that have done nothing violent towards the Muslim world and don't deserve to die - certainly wouldn't call that a religion of peace. And then to go to paradise for killing these innocent people including women and children? Absolutely ludicris. I for one refuse to believe in a god that rewards for killing.

I also totaly believe in the Freedom of Speech!! I shouldn't be killed or beaten or harmed in ANY way because I say something about Islam that a muslim person doesn't like. Like the article says - they want to be able to tear down our religions and institutions but flip out if someone else says somethinf about Islam or the Koran. Not good.
