Maria,

"Even the Mormon faith, which I personally believe, is based on the charismatic of a con man named John Smith" - then why do'nt you leave Mormonism? Now do you see how hard it is for a Muslim to leave a death cult like Islam. Its the same with members of all cults eg. Jim Jones. As a philosopher, who's name I forget, said "you can't reason a person out of something he has'nt reasoned into".

But, since the teachings of the Koran and Muhammad's terrible example leads to violence and death, we have to confront it. Its going to take a few hundred years for Islam to die, but the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.
