... I've lived in a few Islamic countries, have been surrounded by and friends with "moderate" Muslims, and I've read the Koran, studied fatwas, and listened and read closely from the Islamic scholars, clerics, and intellectuals. I dated two diffewrent Kuwaiti Muslimas and had to deal with the complications and danger of that, and feel reesponsiblee for one eof those girls nearly losing her life because of it. (I'm a kafir.) I'm very aware of the trends in Europe, Britain, Southern Thailand, Philippines, the UK, et al - wherever Islam rears its head.

You know as well as I do that the most pious Muslims are the most dangerous: the Wahhabis, the Taliban, the Muslims who closely follow their holy book and prophet's life examples, the hadiths, religiously. They are NOT, as you say, acting un-Islamically. Don't take us for fools; they are acting Islamically. We have come to know Islam and understand its tenents and ideology anfd its history. You are a bad Muslim in the eyes of the pious Muslims for good reason. I'm glad you apparently pick and choose what parts of Islam you want to follow, because if you were a strict practicing Muslim you'd be a dangerous man and a threat in one way or another to the rest of us.
