"I am going to be very brief. Do we hear about Christians,Jews, Buddhists or Hindus blowing things up to go to heaven with 40 virgins? " - Yes but one must ask where people hear these things from.

"Do we hear about religions other than Islam that cover their women up to the poin that only the eyes are visible? " - Well catholicism: nuns wear a hijab type cloth over their heads.

"Most religions have evolved, except for Islam, which is going backwards." - well it depnds on what your definition of backwards is.

" Muslims hate the West," - i am backwards how can you hate a direction.

" they hate Americans," - Who doesnt?

"they hate Jews," - steady now

"they hate homosexuals. "- I am afraid to say this disgusting practice has even infilterated islam.

"Islam, without a doubt, is a religion that promotes hate and discrimination." - How can a religon which promoted equal rights that a woman can own property,that the content of ones charcter is more important than there race,in teh 5TH CENTURY BE A RELIGON OF HATE.
