When I stated that your agenda is clear, you confirmed that with this:

I have no problem living with Buddists, Hindus, Jews, Taoists, Confucianists, Protestants, Mormons, Catholics, Animists, ancestor-worshipers, Athiests or even Wiccans, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT PROFESS A NEED TO DECEIVE AND MURDER EVERYONE ELSE.

You state you have 3 friends who are Muslim and you further state:

Nor do I desire or call for the maltreatment of Muslims in any way. I just think it's foolish to blind ourselves to the truth, especially when that truth is a serious threat to our survival.

Have shared your beliefs with your Muslim friends?

My 'agenda' is this: I abhor the violent actions of any sect, division, or indivudual(s) who wrap themselves in the fanatical religious fervor with the intent to do harm in the advance of their religion. The difference I see is that you hold a belief that all Muslims are committed to doing YOU (generic) harm and you wish all to be eradicated (again generic) from the population of the United States. I do not.

If I have misunderstood your comments, please explain.

And, please do not feel the need to post more quotes from the Koran. As many scholars have stated, historical interpretation of much of the Koran is paramount. I do not wish to debate specific passages, nor will I. And no, I am not a Muslim.

Yes, sir. You have misunderstood me a little. Perhaps I have not made myself clear.

I do NOT believe that all muslims want to do us harm. Nor do I believe they are all bad. I believe their religion is inherently violent, oppressive and misogynistic. I believe it is a satanic death cult, but that it does not appear so to them.

Nor do I want muslims eradicated from the population of the United States. I don't want them eradicated from anywhere. I just don't want their evil, murderous death-cult witewashed as something benign.

Where Muslims bear arms against innocent unarmed people, I want them swatted down and swatted down hard. That's the extent of it. I would feel the same if anyone of any religion were doing it. But no religion calls for this like Islam does.

And, no, I have not brought my concerns to my Muslim friends. For the life of me, I don't know how to do that. How would you do it? What would you say to me if I were a good friend to you, and yet professed my faith in a religion that named you as a low-life infidel who must be oppressed or killed if you refuse to convert to my religion?

P.S. The Muslims do this wherever they know they can get away with it. They know they cannot do it in America. Not yet anyway. But Islam is the fastest growing religion in America. Perhaps they will get their way and you and I will die together at their hands. Or perhaps our children will die together. Or (God forbid!) my grandchildren will convert to Islam and kill yours.

Peace be with you, sir.
