Nonsense

These so called Muslims that kill in the name of Allah are nothing more than fools. Being raised as a Muslim I know of the thing I speak. You will not find any writing in the Koran that mentions anything about a martyr receiving 30 virgins once he sacrifices himself. This is untrue. I gave up my religion but I still know it well. I was a witness to the attacks on America and there was nothing gained by it but death and destruction. The "God" of Islam does not preach this. I hear of people say that the 6th pillar of Islam is Jihad. Nonsense! Show it to me in the Koran. I was raised in both Turkey and America, I claim citzenship of both. I have the best of both worlds. I resent every Muslim who considers himself a terrorist, I now do not feel safe because of you. People look at me and my family differently now because of you. I dispise you... It is not fair that you would label your cause in the name of the same religion of my mother. You are not worthy.
