I was addressing everyone to be respectful of others. If I was disrespectful to you yesterday,nuconvert then I do apologize. My intention was not to be disrespectful or hateful to you or your opinion.
I do not hate Muslims. But I don't accept an ideology that wants to kill me either. Although it may appear there is only a small percentage that are radical, I believe that what you call "moderate" Muslims will stand behind their fellow Muslims before they will turn on them and stick up for the Americans.
I haven't heard any of them speak out against what happened on 9/11. Why is that? It probably is fear. So when the radicals decide to attack us again, who do you think the moderates are going to stand with? That is my question. If they follow the Quran and so called non believers are infidels, where does that leave us non Muslims? How many Muslims are Muslims because they have no choice? When a "religion" has as its objective to have the entire world be under Islamic rule, then I'm concerned. As a Christian, I would like the entire world to be Christian, but it is a free choice that one can make, and I certainly wouldn't want to kill those who don't accept Christ's gift.
Look at what happened to Van Gogh in the Netherlands. He exposed how the woman in this "religion" are mistreated and he was slaughtered for it.
We should be able to speak out about injustice or mistreatment, without being killed for it.
I would still like to know how you reconcile the Quran's commands to kill infidels and how I, as a Christian, should not feel threatened by that?
