I know there are Muslims who are good, and even serve in our military, in Israel's military, in government, etc. But with this many bad apples, there's something wrong with the orchard.
Christian regions as well, such as Uganda .

1. How is an "age" of a religion relevant? islam was born in violence and has been violent ever since.
2. Following your beloved messiah, you excuse violence of the muslims by actions of the Christians during the crusades. And like your beloved messiah, you ignore the fact, that the crusades were a response to muslim invasion and occupation of nearly two thirds of the Christian world.

I have no Messiah, nor have I excused anything. Thanks for playing though.

Indeed! A billion and half followers of a violent cult of the illiterate pedophile. But what's even more frightening is the number of self-proclaimed liberals who will happily sacrifice the future of their own children for political correctness.

I've seen it happen in my community among the Muslims. I've got some stories if you want to hear them.
Many women all over the world are treated badly by the men in their lives. Some of them are Muslim.

Spend some time in India to see how poorly women are treated.

1. Christianity was absolutely born in violence. Have you never even skimmed the bible? And Christianity has had a lot more time to develop and learn how to manage the crazies. People were doing horrid things in the name of Christianity even as recently as US history. For example: witch trials.

2. Maybe the crusades were merely a defensive response (but maybe not). But as for other things...well, I didn't know that the indigenous people in the Americas were Muslim.

Intelligence services all around the world claim radical violent terrorists make up 15-25% of the Muslim population. Yes, a minority, but because Islam is so big, that amounts to millions of terrorists, and then a few million more who might not act out the violence, but support it.

I'm not the one scared of a fictional book because it differs from an older fictional book, so you'll forgive me if I don't exactly value your judgement.

Very true, although you don't see Uganda threatening to come to the West and behead everyone. Uganda has many horrific things happening to my people (gays), and I condemn this behavior and think something must be done (heavy sanctions, more media attention). But the Muslim extremists pose more of a threat
