"Because some lack the will or simply the means does not give me any more comfort about a delusional belief system that keeps them trapped as slaves."

Curious, You consider the 3 million in the U.S. or the 4,000 or so in our Armed Forces as slaves ?


... or perhaps this Danish Muslim -
"On Feb. 3, Naser Khader, a Muslim member of the Danish Parliament for the Radical Party, announced the establishment of a network of moderate Muslims, the Demokratiske Muslimer. “If these imams think it is so terrible to live in Denmark, then why do they remain here?” Khader said. “They can always move to one of the countries in the Middle East which are based on the Muslim values they insist on living by. It seems that their loyalty is mainly to countries such as Saudi Arabia, so I think they should move there. I am tired of hearing them complain about the situation in this country which has given them shelter, freedom of expression, freedom of religion and tons of opportunities for their children."

I consider anyone that dare not criticize their own so called religion or its founder a slave.

Many of those 1.2 billion are too young to understand islam, and a nice slice of them are indigenous people who have to call themselves muslim or claim inspiration from the Koran for their magic so they are not persecuted for their animist or pagan beliefs and can share some of the entitlements of the muslims in islamic nations where dhimmi status means humiliation and alack of basic rights.

Another nice chunk are in hiding and fear their own religious police.

Many of these individuals will give you a real insight into islam.

And BTW, many muslims refer to themselves as "slave to allah" with some pride.

It's quite a common term, but at least theres some truth in it..
