I said Islam teaches hate and segregation. Below is proof of how Muslims treat other races/religions. Yet when the come to western countries, they want full rights.

1) Non-Muslims cannot be buried in Saudi Arabia, because they would defile the land.

2) In Saudi and all muslim countries that follow sharia law requires 4 male withness to prove rape.
I can only imagine the 4 rapeist testifying as a withness.

3) Non muslims need permit to gather in Saudi

4) Non Muslims are cannot be given saudi citizenship.

5) There were no public places of worship for non-Muslims in the country. While significant numbers of Christians reside in the country, there are very few Jews. There were no synagogues or churches in the country.

6) Taxation is also different for the Muslims and the non-Muslims.

7) Discounted price for home for muslims.

8) Non-Muslims living in Saudi Arabia cannot marry any Muslim women. This is completely forbidden.

9) No non-Muslim could ever be awarded with Saudi citizenship, even by birth.

10) During the month of Ramadan, non-Muslims are instructed by the Saudi authorities to respect the religious feeling of the Muslims. The infidels are ordered not to consume any food in front of Muslims. Any violation of this requirement might result in expulsion from Saudi Arabia of the infidel culprit—merely for eating in the presence of a Muslim.

11) In Saudi Arabia , unless a non-Muslim had converted to Islam, he/she is not eligible to receive any charity (Zakat) whatsoever. ...

12) In Iran, after every friday prayers, moslems take to the streets and chant....Death to Israel, & Death to America.

The simple underlying truth to all these can be found in the koran:

korah 9:5 fight and slay the non-moslems wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); unless they repent.

korah 5:51 - "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians as friends.

I think these verses of the koran are very simple for everyone to understand. But if you think I'm wrong in saying Islam teaches terrorism, segregation and hatredness, then, explain to me what these verses mean.
