The Very Worst Article on Islam? Call me unfair for picking on a college journalist, but "Islam: a religion based on peace" by Tony Chiorazzi in the University of Southern California's Daily Trojan today is my candidate for this prize. It has every platitude, inaccuracy, and banality in the book, from mistranslating the word Islam to getting the number of Muslims in the United States wrong to that hoary business about "A Muslim can't be a terrorist, and a terrorist can't be a Muslim." Readers are challenged to send me examples they find yet more egregious.

I believe that MORMONISM is the fastest growing religion in the US. I could be wrong on that one though.
BUT ISLAM IS NOT THE SECOND LARGEST RELIGION IN THE US!
What a bunch of crap.
Any religion that must advertise that it is a "religion of peace," is not a religion of peace.
I'm SORRY ISLAM IS 1 %! DID YOU HEAR THAT- 1 % of the USA!

Why don't the men have to abide by this "power"? No wonder liberals love this religion. It makes no sense and it is all a huge mess of confusion, lies, double-speak and murder.
"The word Islam means peace in Arabic,"
--> Above quote from article. Well well, Islam means Peace? In my own opinion, i don't trust an american that is all about peace aka liberal, democrat etc... So why the hell would i trust some religion packaged as "peace" in arabic? Shiiit!, do i look like i fell off the boat an hour ago and i'm still packed in ice?

Now you hit the target! Yes, and they target the liberal institutions to spread and indoctrinate. Peace, my rear, tell that to the thousands of ghosts in the World Trade Center...
I wonder if they said this same BS to Spain back when they conquered it.
"Women are actually considered an asset in Islam, Solis said." So, I guess the more wives you have, the stronger your balance sheet.
"The Daily Trojan" - sounds more like a high school condom promo....
See my post 7- it's only 1 % of the USA!
If I stopped laughing right now, I would have to cry---there are so many unbelieveable statments in there it is scary---
Isn't USC a state university, or is it private, because they sure are proud of using the university as a place to evangelize for their "religion"....
I just spoke with my unit's Arab linguist.
"Islam" means "Submission".
If they're willing to lie about their language, what else will they lie about?
I want everyone here to know this article's second sentences is a LIE!
ISLAM IS ONLY 1 % of the USA!!!
