I know I am late in replying, but I just want to say something,

Mohammed Mohammed, you talk about how Islam has done so many things for Arabia yet you make no comment condemning the Militant Islamists. Why is that?

You talk about how some of our English letters come from Islam, you talk about how some science and mathematics came from Arabia after it became an Islamic state. What's your point? Lot of countries have claim to many things in the world today. Are you saying because they were Muslim they deserve more praise? Muslims own the oil because of its location. If it were all in Mexico then Catholics would own it. I am not supporting that Islam is an "evil religion" just a lot of radicals that follow it are. Its says (the Quran) to fight, kill, slay, slaughter the Infidels and no-believers. The point I am making is that according the Quran I am part of that group you are supposed to fight and that makes thinks twice about the religion. Does that mean I am going to hate everyone in it……..NO. But how am I supposed to feel when I am around you and you live and believe a life that preaches that? I know that that is not all the Quran preaches but it's those things that stick in my head.
