I spent twelve years in the mid East- mostly Turkey, but some in the surrounding areas. I can tell you that Islam feels murder, rape, robbery, lying and torture of "infidels" is not only allowed, they are recomended. Of course those things should not be done to like minded Muslims except as initiated by the Mullahs, but they are all right for the rest of humanity. It is a violent religion.
