Muslims do many things that are at odds with islam, like i said in my previous post, and that only makes them human.

As for the female genital mutilation, i got news for ya:

Muslim scholars rule female circumcision un-IslamicCairo | Nov 24 | AP

A Egyptian conference of Muslim scholars from around the world declared female circumcision to be contrary to Islam and an attack on women, and called today for those who practice it to be punished.

As for the boys circumcistion, the jews also have the same tradition and the practice is backed by science.

I appreciate your suggestions/recomandations to read about the authors you mentioned in your post. i will keep them in mind.

According to Islamic teachings, it is UNHOLY to instigate or start war; however, some wars are inevitable and justifiable. If we translate the words "holy war" back into Arabic, we find "harbun muqaddasatu," or for "the holy war," "al-harbu al-muqaddasatu." WE CHALLENGE any researcher or scholar to find the meaning of "jihad" as holy war in the Qur'an or authentic Hadith collections or in early Islamic literature.

Now, i know for sure that you dont know arabic, you probably know how to speak a little bit/ use some sentences but you know nothing about grammar. see, you say mukadassa when you write the word without tashkeel, but if you use the tashkeel you'll have " doma" on the "TA" marbouta at the end of the word. so . with atashkeel, you would say harbu mukadassatu or without taskeel, harb mukadassa.

have a good one
