the nature of islam?

In the middle east, the Jewish people have been targeted and exploited by the Muslim people.
How can the Iranian President call for Israel to be destroyed. If this is the solution to all problems then Pakistan should be handed back to India. Pakistan was very KINDLY created by India to prevent the killing of thousands of muslims.

However, in Iran the Parees people, who are a non- violent minority group were told to convert to Islam or leave the country. Why is it that Islamic governments show no real tolerance of other religious groups? and why do other faith goverments go at length to accomodate the islamic people?

After researching the matter, i have come to the conclusion that non- islamic governments are too nice to islamic residents living in their countries. In France shopkeepers of local villages have been driven away by muslim residents feeling offended by them selling alcohol and pork. Now what right do those people have to do that in France. France is not a muslim country! If they want to live in an islamic type state they should leave for a middle eastern country.

I think the core reason that 99% of fighting in the world is against a muslim group, is because THEIR RELIGION IS NOT A MODERN DAY RELIGION, they thus feel threatened. The Quoran needs to be re-written or modernised. For example, the Swedish singer Mia was sent death threats after the release of her steamy video. Mia, is just a singer, she didnt ever say she was muslim and she didnt represent islam and she could be an atheist. But because she is of asian descent, she was targeted. I find this hard to comprehend, because in the western world people dont condem others based on their religion. What right did those people have to threaten her? if she wants to sing, dance, wear revealing clothes and drink, why should those other people care. Its up to her!

Today, Bin Laden called the Queen an enemy of Islam! Now where is this going to end.
Islam seems to be a brain washing religion which targets disillusioned pakistani youths in the UK and others abroad.

I never thought that a religion could be so dangerous!
