I will read the articles you mentioned .

I do understand your point of view. I had a similar one not all that long ago.

However, through my studying I believe there are some major problems with Islam, the biggest one being the Quran.

I'm guessing you dispute that the Quran teaches that all who don't follow Allah are infidels, and all infidels should be killed?

Also, yesterday you implied those that are anti Muslim are bigots. You need to understand our point of view. Since we truly believe it is an evil cult, how do you expect us to embrace it with open arms?

I am not a bigot and I don't hate anyone (although liberals receive my greatest wrath). I, as I'm sure most on this board, just want to know what the truth is and then deal with it. We should be able to disagree, without resorting to name calling.

I thought FR was all about educating people.

So, if we disagree, lets all try to be respectful and try to use persuasion and facts to teach our point of view.

"yesterday you implied those that are anti Muslim are bigots. You need to understand our point of view. Since we truly believe it is an evil cult, how do you expect us to embrace it with open arms?"

The definition of a bigot (in this case muslim bigot), is one who isn't tolerant.....No one is expecting you to embrace islam with "open arms.

"I, as I'm sure most on this board, just want to know what the truth is and then deal with it."

The truth is, there are different muslim sects, and muslims come in many colors, nationalities,etc. The truth is, most on the board don't sound tolerant to me. Do they to you? Intolerance to an entire race, creed, religion of people is bigoted.

"So, if we disagree, lets all try to be respectful and try to use persuasion and facts to teach our point of view."

Are you addressing this to the disrespectful people posting their prejudiced, nasty comments toward muslims as a whole?
