I will tell you, before living in Israel I was of like mind with you, I looked into Islam a bit here and there. But after having to play bus roulette just to get to work, and seeing them dance in the streets at 911 I got a whole lot more interested.
But reading the Qu'ran and the other books of Islam is a lot like taking a bath in a sewer. It really stinks and leaves you feeling icky. These people are insane. They have allowed themselves to believe a lie so that their excesses could be excused. Once you are willing to let go the truth to embrace a lie it is not a gradual thing, you are clinicly insane from that point on. It is a lot like parachuting, once you let go of the wing it is all downhill from there.
If you ever are willing to believe a lie over the truth in your heart, how will you ever have the strength to go back? It is a one way street, that 1.5 Billion people have taken. Can you imagine, about a quarter of the earth are criminaly insane at this point.
A very scary thing. Mass killing is in the future, either by war to defend ourselves, or by surrender to allow those who refuse to be "politicaly correct" and embrace the "common good of mankind to just get along" to be killed by beheading.
Better to fight this war now, than pretend it is not happening by saying stupid things like "Islam is a religion of Peace". It simply is not, and no ammount of sucking up to the Saudi's can make it so.

That does coincide with the book I read, The Arab Mind.
But see, the Muslims in 'Palestine' were raised brain washed with fairy tales of an Israeli take over of their land. They are not a good cross section for comparison.
What about the ones that have left the Middle East? And say, came here. They left the regime cause they didn't believe and want their children raised in a lying dictatorship.
My family were sharecroppers in a Don owned village in Italy. They were able to escape and come here to America. My family is not slave owning dictators. They left to get away from that.
So couldn't there be Moderate Muslims? The ones that left?
