Islam is a religion of slavery

I hear all the time that Muslims just want peace. But what I read in their book is that there are three ways for them to have peace with me. I can, a) join their religion, b) live under them as a second-class citizen (or slave), or c) die.

I have asked this question many times and never gotten an answer. If you wish, I can cite the actual words of their prophet on this.

It is not sufficient to just claim that those who read their book are taking it out of context, or just don't understand. It is quite understandable. It is quite clear. It is insulting to the intelligence to respond to these allegations by saying that we are morons.

Islam seeks the subjugation of all non-Muslims by whatever means necessary. It is a religion of hatred and horror, and we've been at war with them since the Barbary pirates two hundred years ago.
