OMG you have a lot to learn

I am amazed at your response.

Obviously the Koran is the LEAST effective religion in reducing slavery, because Muslim countries were the last nations to make it illegal.

In 1962, it was estimated that Saudi Arabia had 300,000 slaves. How effective is the Koran at stopping evil and how hollow are your quotes. Obviously it is not and hasn't been effective in reducing slavery. Only the Western nations have forced Muslim nations to outlaw this discusting practice.

Why are you defending the Koran, instead of attacking the Muslims who use the Koran to justify murder and rape and exploitation????

Haven;t you seem the videos of the proud Muslims who behead western captives? haven't you seen the videos of Muslim Clerics calling fellow Muslims to kill westerners? Haven't you seen the videos of Muslim Terrorist bombers before they blow themselves and innocent people up, that they are murdering in the name of Islam. THEY ARE NOT RECITING THE US CONSTITUTION WHEN THEY BLOW THEMSELVES UP ARE THEY? Therefore Islam is not effective in protecting people or stopping violence.

What the West objects to is the vast majority of Muslims not doing enough to stop the crazies. You say the Koran is perfect, so why are you not angry at these "good Muslims" who are defining Islam to the west as a religion of rape, murder and evil?

The west sees the tapes circulated by Muslims of Muslim crowds cheering at these barbaric acts. Why do you not understand that you should be attacking your fellow Muslims for their actions, not the west.

You can quote the Koran until you are blue in the face that it is saying love and peace, but the actions of your fellow Muslims prove otherwise. The vast bulk of Muslims are not crazy, are not hell bend on killing Westerners. But The Koran and Islam is providing an excuse for evil people to break all the basic taboo, they use Islam to justify slavery, murder, incest, rape, and under age sex .

Muslims need to accept that many Muslims use the Koran as permission to do these things, and that the West is not against Islam , but the West is against what Muslims let their fellow Muslims get away with in the name of Islam, because they do not question Islam.

Quotation of the Koran means nothing unless there is action to support the better side of Islam. The West sees Muslim Terrorists, we do not see Muslim acts of Charity. The West sees the hate directed towards them by Muslims, they do not see Muslims helping others.

Muslims have let the image of Islam in the west be promoted as that of threats and evil.

If you want to change the image of Islam in the west, do something to change it, do not tell us we are wrong, prove we are wrong !
