Dear Sheik Velines-Bey:

Many of us would respect Islam if the peace keepers were out in front saying that Jihad, violence, and persecution are wrong. The culture has never changed its tactics in thousands of years and it will never be able to draw supporters. Many of us have studied Islam and have friends who are muslems who do not go along with the way the religion is pushed down people's throats and people are intimidated because of their religion and viewpoints. If you want to change the way your religion is viewed, then you need to educate the populace of Muslims on what they can do to reach out to all reglions and live in peace but do not accept the beliefs of Islam.

You responded to me, I am not telling you what to believe, I am telling you what millions of people know and do not like about Islam, especially what happened in Egypt with the Muslim Brotherhood trying to try and implement Sharia law. If your culture prides itself on deception then you are never going to be trusted when you give your word... that is very well known now, the doctrine of Taqiyya to dupe the enemy. Don't think for one minute that people are not well informed!
