Donvan,

..".ism!": is a trade mark of the arrogant and racist Western politics and culture based on an attitude of immorality, intolerance and exploitation of the others who have deplored and resisted such racism and encroachment. ( If you are a US citizen, you must remember that your pioneers invaded and usurped the land of the natives, savagely massacred them and the few who were left behind are currently inhumanly encircled like beasts!). So, you have neither the credibility nor the moral to proclaim yourself a righteous being, it is the reverse.

Your malignant misconceptions concerning Islam are utterly wrong and are stemming from...deep grudges and hatred of a great religion and of its great prophet. Islam is neither a cult , as you stupidly label it ,nor Muhammad a tyrrant and self-proclaimed prophet . Islam is the faith and way of life of more than 20% of the world population in every corner of the earth, take it or leave it.

While your Western ancestors were in their filthiest darkest age in Europe, Islam was the religion that brought enlightenment, rightly valued and saved the great Greak culture, philosophy, and knowledge and brilliantly enriched and innovatively added to it great advances in every aspect of science ( read the history of Islam in Spain from the 8th to the 15th century).

I dont care if you ever believe in Islam or any other religion but I deplore and condemn any despicable...behavior such as yours. Your ignorance ...so immense that you and your likes in the west are doomed for ever . Islam is succsseful as a dynamic religion, way of life, politics, and with its nobel tenets is on the rise and ever expanding despite the war you are advocating. The Christian fanatic West ( under the guidance of their Church, Kings and politicians) already waged a brutal 200-y Cruzade war ( read the history) against Islam and Muslims, and currently trying to repeat the same brutality but surely it will fail as its predecessor. ....Good bye and no need to respond.
