Well, this is not surprising.

Since this religion was created by raiding parties terrorizing travelers, it would not be any leap at all to suppose that the materialistic god would urge it's followers to grab whatever they could from the people. Let's see one/fifth of someone's gold or silver plated teeth, that would be one out of every five. What are they complaining about? That leaves four teeth to chew food. They better not complain or they will be eating dirt. Allah Akbar!

It seems that other religions have used the name of G_d to do many harsh and evil things to others, but this religion Islam seems to fit very nicely with those who yearn to do many harsh and evil things to others.

The perfect home for violence, intimidation, terrorism, and hatred. Would Mohammad be joyful knowing that 14 centuries after his death, his followers are still merrily traveling in his footsteps? From what he spoke and how he lived, I think the answer is yes.
