"I wouldn't care a whit about their beliefs if those beliefs didn't command them to kill me and my children."
"However, in the Koran for anyone with eyes to see and a mind to understand, it is clear that this is demanded."
Sorry, you're simply wrong.
It appears that YOUR interpretation might be tha same as the terrorists, but most of the billion Muslims on the planet are not trying to kill anyone.
The terrorists and YOU are the ones who are doing the re-interpreting.
This is called an assertion against evidence. Which is really cool. Especially when you want to believe the person who is making the assertion.
Because you are making this statement against evidence that even you acknowledge at the outset. You must offer evidence for your position. Otherwise.. this sort of statement is like the proverbial.. "Oh Yea!"
Still, as it would be really nice if you were right. Please share. How is it that you are right. And how will "reformed" Islam provide this end to the horror that is being perpetrated in its name around the world. From Murders in Thailand, to Churches being burned in Pakistan and Kosovo, to the outrages of the Iraqi insurgency, or Hamas sponsoring killing school children in Israel, to the sands of Darfur.. The list of Islamic horrors for just 2006, just six months old is sickening.
I will only site one instance of each of my charged atrocities except Iraq (whats the point - these are in the news daily). Sadly most are in multiple instances already in this one year.
Churches Burnt - Kosovo - Eastern Orthodox
Israelis killed outside fast-food stall
There are folks who post lists as long as my arm here.. so this is shooting fish in a bucket. Now Islam is not responsible for all evil on the face of the earth. But, as I said, you are the one making the "That's not true" statement.
