Be informed

Just a quick observation and a question for everyone here;

I feel that it is VERY important to differentiate between Islam and Militant Islam.

Islam teaches peace unless openly provoked, oppressed, or attacked.

The sick individuals who commit horrendous crimes in the name of Allah, are perverting the original scriptures and distorting their teachings.

Also..How many here have ACTUALLY read the Koran? It would be wise to be as informed as possible about who the enemy actually is.(ie: Militant / radical muslims) Otherwise we will fall victim to the same paranoia, and misguided actions. Those who call themselves Muslims, then murder helpless victims are NOT followers of the Islamic faith!

They are simply......Murderers!!
