Their version of God involves someone of this sort? At some point, it comes down to morals, and they're following the teachings of an immoral person. So, I really don't know how you can trust anything you hear or read from people that follow someone like this. Not all Muslims subscribe to what he said? You ever hear them say he's was wrong?

scuds, several threads contain quotes from a variety of muslims who spoke out against 9-11, against violence, who preach and believe in being a modern religions, without the violence. yet, you and others who want only to hate an entire group based on the actions of a few have completely refused to even acknowledge that.

you say how can i get by that? how do mormons get by some of what their book contains? gems, the garden of eden in missouri..the bible, with talking snakes, guys living in fish for days, and people walking on water while the spirit gets a virgin knocked up....people don't focus on the unbelievable, or the violence-you stone anyone for growing more than one crop in a field lately? yet you're only focusing on the violence in the quran, koran, however it's spelled. i think it's an oversimplification.
i was just as horrified as anyone when 9-11 occurred. it would be easy to say kill them all, or to demand revenge. that takes a lot less thought and rationalization, doesn't it? it almost makes one sound very much like that which one has come to hate. we need rational thought, not emotion, not knee-jerk reactions. you refuse to believe that every muslim doesn't engage in violence, doesn't believe in strapping on a bomb, stonings, mutilations, acid attacks, etc. you see the guy throwing the acid, without considering the thought process of the man who allows his daughters to go to school, or to work, or to drive, or to marry the man they chose. it's a man who has come to understand that backward thinking won't work. multiply that man times a hundred, a thousand. those are the people, who happen to be muslim, that we should be supporting. you're lumping them all together, which is unfair to the many muslims who want modernity, peace, understanding. they exist-i just think it's a shame that only the few monsters get all the talk, the attention, and are thought to be the only representatives of the muslim world.
