Thanks for that link, dennis.

I know you guys have probably all read Warraq and Amer Taheri, but just in case you (or others) haven't read these two quotes, I'll repost it here:
"Muslims do not need patronizing liberals to meet them halfway; Muslims need to write an honest biography of the prophet that does not shun the truth, least of all cover it up with the dishonest subterfuge of condescending western scholars" -Ibn Warraq Author of; "Why I Am Not A Muslim", "Studies on Muhammed", and the "Rise of Islam".
"Muslims can build a democratic society provided they treat Islam as a matter of personal, private belief and not as a political ideology that seeks to monopolize the pubic space and regulate every aspect of individual and community life." - Amir Taheri
Nuconvert,
Thanks for the replies...I think we are probably in agreement on this issue:
We both don't care what anyone else does in who or what they worship, propvided they are peaceful, and leave other people alone. I think that is the frustration many people here have, and that is that many Muslims don't know how to leave non-muslims alone, and they infringe on other folks freedoms and security.
Again as Warraq said:
"Muslims need to write an honest biography of the prophet that does not shun the truth, least of all cover it up with the dishonest subterfuge of condescending western scholars"
Once that happens, I think we will begin to get a handle on the radical sects of Islam...or better yet, non-violent Muslims will begin to handle the radical sects for us. As of yet, they have not.
Regards
Any Mohammedan who does that is dead meat.
