Mr Abbas, I am very frightened by your post

Mr. Abbas, I am stupefied as to how you can write the things you do here with a straight face. In fact, I am convinced that you believe every word that you wrote. That petrifies me.

No terrorism before 9/11? Please look at a history book for the extremely long list of Islamist terror attacks all around the world since the 1970's, even before. Hezbullah, Black September, PLO, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic Jihad, etc. etc. See how many terror attacks are perpetrated annually in countries like India, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran, western democracies.

It is beyond my comprehension that you state in your concluding sentence that Islam has killed no babies, women or men who are innocent. Of course, emphasis on INNOCENT, which by your definition, is a broad one and all encompassing to anyone who is a disbeliever or a Kafir. So innocence is indeed a subjective term and gives you carte blanche to whitewash any massacres as legitimate in the eyes of Islam.
