being muslim has not always protected muslims from death by other muslims. ! Feb 2010

Most of the people murdered by muslims are other muslims. Most of the people who suffer under islamist totalitarian govenments are muslim.

This is not to diminish the wrongness of the epic number of non-muslims murdered by muslims.

In the last few decades we have seen many many muslims die at the hand of other muslims. Iraq and Iran fought an eight year war, Iraq killed people in Kuwait and the Kurds. The army of Turkey has killed many Kurds. The terrorist group hamas murders muslim fatah party members.

There is also a horrific number of femal muslims killed for so called honor crimes.

Fifty -seven islamists countries in the world, that kill their own people in the name of allah.

The President of Iran clearly stated that his country murders homosexual muslim people.

Since the beginning of islam, muslims of one sect have slaughtered muslims of a different sect.

Of course we would have to make mention of the person who started the whole " lets kill people for allah " the ' prophet ' mohammed who wrote a whole book dedicated to killing.

Now here we are in Feb of 2010, which is five and a half years after this article was posted, has the killing by muslims stopped, or even slowed down ? Sadly we know the answer is no !
