There is one large distinction here.

The only issues i have with Muslims are the forceful conversion of Dhimmis and others and the pathetic ways they (radicals) find to justfy murder. If the Qu'aran doesn't authorise the killing of innocents, then why do women and chilren die as a result of coward bombers? If you can justify that by ANY means then you deserve to die as well. If people are coerced into becoming Muslims then they are a lie or they are just doing it to survive. Anyone who considers this to be acceptable is a loser and if their mosque is filled with "converts" then the religion is a lie also!

Islam as prcticed by the radicals is just a way of controlling the masses. Didn't we come out of the middle ages yet? Oh yeah, we did, just not you ...!
