Miriam,

Most Muslims, just as most Christians, do not know and understand their respective holy books. Many Muslims, throughout the world, are illiterate and few can read Arabic. This is why the "holy" men teach them jihad. The pope is not an authority on Islam.

Most Jews do not follow The Law of Moses either. Ask one. Many can not explain this.

In fact, the Catholic Church of Rome led the Crusades against Muslims to protect their own ill-begotten spoils and territory, telling the faithful that "if they fought them they were doing God's will" and "if they died in battle" they had a guaranteed pass to Heaven. Sound familiar?

Learn what Islam teaches for yourself: www.prophetofdoom.net/ Read: "Jews"
These statements are directly from their books and what is preached and taught, all over the world five times daily in closed mosques. Find some good. I cannot.

Finally,
