I have studied Islam, and I base my understandings of Islam on the Quran and the Hadiths, and not on anyone person.
Yes, I do understand about Jihad and terrorism and the call to kill or to convert all who are not Muslim.
It is on this that I base my ideas that Islam is very evil and full of hatred, vengence, and death.
So do not pedal "Not in the name of Islam" to me.
Muslims do not understand, "What is a Christian?" They do not understand this, because every child with a Muslim father is considered a Muslim, no matter if he likes it or not. According to the law of most Muslim countries that I know about, they can not change from Muslim to any other religion.
People in the USA may not understand that Muslims just do not have any choice in what they are to be called. I have met many Muslims who do not want to be Muslim at all. They do not believe that Muhammed is a prophet of God, or that allah of the Koran is the true God, the Creator of mankind.
I do know one Muslim man, who has a Catholic mother and a Muslim father, who was caught in a church, and he was arrested and taken to jail in a Muslim country, and kept in jail for 5 months and beaten until he would say that, "allah is god, and that Muhammed his his messenger." Finally, he could no longer stand up because of the beatings, and he knew that there was no one to support his mother and his siblings, so he did repeat those hated words, and he is out of jail now. He hopes God will forgive him.
