Believe what you will, I won't try to convert your way of thinking

I have read the Koran, have a copy of it in my house for the same reason Thomas Jefferson did....to know your enemy . I think most folks should read the Koran so they will know the violence and hatred of the non believer that is taught there and the belief that all should be muslim or die.

By the way, when I served in the militay, I ran across the occasional muslim service person. All switched for love, becacuse the one they loved were muslim. All were willing to switch to Islam but never met anyone in love who would switch to christianity. Anyway, when you pose the question to them about what the Koran teaches, they all agree, it teaches to convert or kill the non-believer. In all cases the non-believer is anyone who is not a muslim.

Now some interesting things pop into my head when i wrote that, seems Obama claims he never was a muslim. Yet it is known his step father was muslim. He would have never married without converting his new family over to Islam...so I believe old Barry was a muslim at one time. why he wants to hide it I am not sure...unless it is that thing in the Islam world where if a muslim converts to a diffrent religion he is condemned to death... maybe the guy fears for his life?

Indonesia is where he was at, the third most populous nation in the world and about 95% muslim and they are always killing christians in the name of allah over there. Burning Christian churches and stuff, could be he got the scare of a lifetime over there.
