He is telling what islam is, not what for the most part, muslims believe.
That's mostly fair. Although "what Islam is" seems to be open to about as much debate as "what Christianity is."

There is some delicious irony in this video starting around the 5:50 mark. Dude's talking about the Koran needing to arrive in the 21st century yet his holy book (the bible) has some rather Koranic like statements of its own and is even older.

What is written in the scriptures, are not, contrary to what many religious people will claim, open to interpretation.
As you have no authority to make such a statement it's essentially meaningless and I almost wonder why you would even say it.
Anyway it's false. It should be obvious that most any written work concerning humans can be open to interpretation. Even if it's a history book. People are not like numbers or the most literalistic of objects. The context, etc does matter. Interpretation does matter. You did take some course in literature or history right?
you guys are really dumb if you believe this guy. if he said that in islam men beat thier women behind closed doors youd believe him too... give me a break, this just goes to show how society follows the media. islam is a religion of peace. just because he says its not doesnt mean its not. you guys will believe anything the media spits at you...

agreed, religion is not what causes violence, getting rid of it wont fix anything. people will be people and fact is theres just people that are evil and people that are good...
