Reasonable discussion.

I see you have read very few of my posts where I have lengthily laid out my take. Not hard considering the wide range of topics and people.

First, if you had given the book from Christaianity an honest read, you would never equate the violence there with that of any other religion. I know the talk that the imams put out. Their actions and inactions speak much louder. The total lack of any positive action on the part of Islam, anywhere, is pointedly telling. Their absolute plethora of heinous actions are legion throughout their entire history. I have talked briefly of the Barbary Coast Wars where Islam very clearly showed exactly the same "action" as they have played out since their inception. Attack innocents and plunder and enslave. when your back is up against a wall, sign a treaty and then ignore it when it suits your purposes.

How many times do I have to lay out what Islam has accomplished in Great Britain? Any honest search of historty will spell out the truth of any "religion". Most don't care to make the effort or have already bought into the re-writing of history that Islam has always lied about and forced to their point of view. As a boy history bored me to tears. What I managed to absorb has proven incalculably valuable.

I am not in the least surprised at the results of your "talks" with various leaders of Islam. That is the way. Talk out one side of your mouth and act in an entirely different one. How clearly do you want me to lay it out?
