Is there a reason you put this in the Flame Zone instead of Religion? Trying to save me some trouble later on, or what?

Haven't you thought about just saving yourself years of trouble and limit Sunni/David/Abiker all to the same thread?

I would say it depends on your perspective. Are you taking the Koran verbatim? Or are you referring to Islam as it is practiced?
The same arguments are made for and against Christians all the time. Radical Islam makes up less than 10% of Muslims worldwide. For the most part, Islam is just a beleif/religion for Muslims, but they realize that Man wrote the Koran even as Man wrote the Holy Bible.
Sadly, the two religions are presented by the nonreligious from the perspective and/or deeds of the whacko 10%. Most Mulsims I know feel the same as I do ... they could care less what you believe.
There will always be those extremists that misrepresent everything and anything they can. I no more believe OBL represents islam than I do Jerry Falwell or Jim Bakker represented Christianity.
A lot of people forget that Islam not only religion but also a culture, a social system, law, political system, military system, ... and that it difficult to separate those from each other.
YOU are a bigot. Just because someone cuts someone's head off with a knife, records it and broadcasts it on the internet doesn't mean that they're bad. They probably just didn't get enough love from their mommy.
When a kid grows up where his mom wears the drapes instead of hanging them from the curtain rack, how could he turn out normal?
Think about it: Did your Mom wear the curtains? Probably not. A kid who's mom wore the drapes is likely to be screwed up.

I would have to say that 10% seems to be an extremely low estimate. I mean look at the war in Iraq for one. What faith does the Taliban or alquida. Then look at Geert Wilders situation. The amount of muslims holding up "violent" protest signs is insane. I would have to agree wtih SHOOTER. If there was only 10% mirepresenting thier faith. Why don't other 90% put a stop to it? I will not be the man that will stand and say that all muslims are evil. What I have read though....If you get over a 2% population of muslims in a country......They are not peaceful....!

Yeah, those slims get all uppity and shit when they got numbers on their side.

Guns,
I have to disagree with you on this one. though I will start by saying that durring the recent elections here I did have a conversation with an Iraqi school teacher who seemed to understand that nothing is good when taken to an extreem. but here is the argument...
when other extremist groups from other religions get out of hand, the moderates and leaders of those religions sound off. I think the number of extremist Muslims is a little higher than 10% and if that is not true the where are all these "moderate muslims"? why are they not stomping and pounding all over the world telling these imams that what they preaching is wrong and is an impropper interpretation of the Koran and islam?
as for it being a religion of peace...
Right, demanding that the whole world submit to your views or face death as a founding pillar of your religion so says that you are all about giving hugs!
