A Muslim explained it to me -- he said that Muslims very much want peace, but peace will only come when the entire world submits to Islam.

He said as long as people have separate religions and believe in different ways, there will be war. He said someday there will be peace on earth, that will be the day that everyone has been converted and everyone lives under Islamic laws.

He said they would prefer the world converts to Islam peacefully. Just accept it has to be done one way or another.

So yes -- Muslims are "peaceful" but you have to understand what their definition of that is.

There are a disturbingly large number of reports of muslims killing their own family members out of their misguided notions of honor or religious nonsense. BTW, I think all religion is nonsense.

The OP had a point though. Liberals seem to bend over backwards to accommodate and to cater to this group despite their horrible track record in how they treat women, yet they claim to champion women's rights as well.
So in other words, you have no idea what the Muslim religion is and you confuse it with extreme Islamic people.

Gotta love these ignorant threads.

Muslims are not any more violent than Christians. The problem is religious conservatism, not which diety you believe in.

Besides, why are we grouping a whole group of people based on such things anyway? Only the ignorant exist solely on prejudice and stereotypes.

Is that the same as confusing all Repubs as extremists and all, say, Fox News reports as right-wing propaganda?

It has nothing to do with faith. It's more about their culture and the region of of the world that these people live in or come from. Most Colombian drug lords, Mexican cartel members and Russian mobsters are Christians, so does that mean all Christians are involved in organized crime?

If you need to have a team, so you can know exactly who the good guys are, than I suggest watching pro sports.

Great, point out modern day examples. Especially in the last several cases of terrorist acts right here at home.

Deflection!

And don't use the excuse of Obama droning terrorist strongholds.

.
I'm doubting most of them are churchgoers, actually.

But OP's point is that this is acceptable law in many places. Your examples are of those breaking the law.

Indeed. I'm not seeing any differences. Liberals want to cry "but Bush" yet their guy is keeping Bush's policies in effect by continuing to d*** around in the middle east, and of course let's not forget continuation of the Patriot Act, TSA, NSA...ect..ect... And of course we have Mr. "I voted for the Iraq war, before I voted against it" Kerry! Democrats? Republicans? Just two sides of the same coin.

Now, I digress. There are extremist a-holes in all religions. Killing someone in the name of God, and playing the my God is better than your God card isn't very God-like, now is it?
