Islam is not the only religion that has had, and still has, its share of fanatics. There will always be those who will take the teachings of a religion or ideology to an extreme, or otherwise pervert the teachings to serve a selfish or even violent purposes. None of that serves as a benefit to humanity.
All of that said, the virulent strains of militant Islam represented by groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS are a menace to the world. Since this writer is neither a Muslim, nor a student of Islam, a discussion of how the beliefs and actions of such groups comport with the teachings of the Quran must be left to those who, unlike me, are qualified to make such comments.
What we can do is examine the actions and words of those who so purport to speak for Islam — something we’ll do on page two.
BITCH.
Well, I believe that Christians can shoot muslims because they are NOT Christians and will never become Christians and are therefore condemned to Hell forever belonging to Satan. So, not having a soul, they are the devils own and don’t have the basic ‘Right to Life’, especially considering that their goal in life is to overthrow the US government (and all other govt.s) and rule the world, killing anyone and everyone who doesn’t agree with them or yield to them, meaning us. That makes them our, or at least MY, mortal enemy. So, therefore, I have zero respect for them, their religion, or their lives.
Idiot! not in this country! they get arrested instead!!!
not unless they want to die,
Linda, please understand, islam does not only condone, but PROMOTES, rape, lying, and murder.
Guess you like being treated like dirt. Kiss my$#%&!@*bitch
Not extreme. It’s in the Quran because Muhammad was a military abusive pedophile!
She needs removed from the gene pool along with all who are muslim.
You are a dumbass
Brian O’Donnell You could say that, but Judaism, and ultimately, Christianity was made up by God, NOT any man.
