literal translation of the Qu'ran is the root

After the danish incident, I now conclude that muslims are troublesome and full of hatred. I grew up in a poor country where both christians and muslims co- exist (as of now).They say that they follow the Q'uran but why is it their behavior is contradictory to the teaching? They are the source of pirated softwares, dvds, cds, etc., they are the source of PORNOGRAPHIC materials, fake signature clothings, bootlegged items, etc. They even allow children as young as seven year olds as sales attendants to these obscene materials. Most fights, juvenile delinquency in our community are involved by muslims. Most of the local "terrorist/bandits" are muslims. I am just wondering why they reacted angrily to the danish cartoon issue when every day muslim clerics in most muslims countries are teaching hatred towards christians and other religion. I assume that all these issues are due to teachings that are literally translated and/ or practices that are neccesity for survival in the past (during the times where there where no human right laws and things like that). I read a comment that some muslims became succesful in life - like Armstrong, Ali, Smith etc but Adem, i assure you, they still have christian values deep inside - why? ask the psychologist and they will tell you that your behavior in the present is formed during your infancy -- the 3 all had christian infancy. Please take a moment and question yourselves, why muslim terrorist outnumbered non- muslim terrorist? have you ever heard of a buddhist terrorist lately? Have you ever heard of a christian mentally-sane bomber or a christian Suicide bomber? No. Why do they hate The west and america? --- one answer, Democracy. -- they hate an idea that allows religious freedom, economic oppurtunity, press freedom, gender equality. just to name a few. Actually, they dont hate america as a country - its the seeds of democracy they hate -- the american/western people. Too bad, my christian religion do not allow its member to kill muslims in his name as of now!
