I agree, Michel

I agree with nearly all of what you said, and I think most people will agree with it too once their line is crossed - the problem is that for too many people the line is too far away and it may be too late once they wake up. Unlike you though, I DO consider Islam the enemy. It's the religion, the Qur'an, the imams, Islamic states like Pakistan and Iran and others, and its followers that are the danger to us. It all wraps around their religion. They kill in the name of Islam, in the name of Allah, and even the moderate ones will not step up to the plate to defend this so-called "hijacking of our religion."

Hijacking? It's not a hijacking. It goes to the core values of what the Qur'an teaches. Just a reading of Surra 9 only will give anybody a good understanding of where and why Muslims are justified in the killing of innocent Jews and Christians and other "infidels." Surra 5 and others aren't any more heartwarming for an infidel to read, one who's trying to make sene of why this religion behaves the way it does. It IS the religion. ISLAM is the reason. I've chucked political correctness out the window. Islam is dangerous to humanity - unless you're a Muslim of course, and even then if you happen to be a Muslim who wants to accept Christians and Jews and Buddhists and anyone else sharing the planet.
