[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My humble suggestion would be to become more devout in your own faith of Chrustianity or Judaism first. The devout Christians and Jews I know are kind and compassionate people who have never been accusatory, suspicious, or hostile towards my faith. [/quote]

We all need to become more devout before we can accept that your one true faith is damning us to hell? Wha??[/quote]

Not what I said. I said first try to learn about and love your own faith, because you disapprove of Islam. [b] Heaven is open to Christians and Jews too.[/b] The goal is to go to Heaven, not necessarily as a Muslim. [/quote]

Not according to the Quran it isn't. Besides, I am an Atheist. I've read more of the Quran than probably most of what you'd call faithful believers of Islam. My goal isn't to go to Heaven, but to have people tend to their imaginary friends on their own time, in their own space, without insisting that I do the same.

Who insisted you do the same? It is quite strange how upset you are over the text of a book you don't even believe in.[/quote]

If I drew caricatures of the prophet Mohammad, what would happen to me? You think I should be allowed? What percentage of Muslims think I should be allowed?

Oh but that's extremist fundamentalist view you claim.

Then what of the research study showing that in many of the world's majority Muslim countries, a significant portion of Muslims there believe that Islamic law should also be the law of the land and applicable to non-Muslims.

The US is not a majority Muslim country, you say, so I have nothing to worry about. Well, that's beside the point. The point is that Islam, like other religions in the past that have not been modernized, have violent tendencies towards those who don't believe the same, and have the ultimate central aim of expanding their numbers and eradicating those who do not believe. The current major conflicts of the world all have significant religious causes. Do you know how sad it appears to me, that the conflict centering on Palestine and Israel has been going on for decades because two groups of people think they have an actual right to possess it due to their religion? As an American I may have friends/family engaged in those conflicts, and I certainly have a portion of my taxes going to pay for our fight against our religion-driven foes. You may sit here and talk about how the Quran do not give these types of directions through "non-face value" interpretations, accusing me of incorrect interpretation, but there is no current shortage of the type of widespread interpretations of the Quran where Muslims see it as their duty to conduct violence against non-believers in the name of their religion.

Note that this issue is not unique to Islam. Christianity has also had a violent past, where non-believers are persecuted, subject to torture and death under Christian laws. [/quote]
