Not all Muslims want to kill us. I know there's parts of the Koran that tell them to make war on infidels, but does every Christian toe the line on every edict in the bible? There's a number of Muslims who live here, like it here and just want to practice thier religeon like anyone else. They don't want to blow things up, they don't want to cut off our heads and they don't want to murder your sister for driving herself to work and letting people see her ankles when she walks down the street.

You are correct - not every Muslim wants to kill us - THEMSELVES with their own hands - but far more than admit it at least tacitly approve of the murder of "infidels" by terrorists.

Your comparison to Christianity and the Bible is just wrong. The Bible is clearly something to be taken in context - including the context of the Old Testament being supplanted by the New Testament. We are to learn the lessons taught in the OT through the lense of the NT. And yes, we are suppose to "tow the line" given to us in the Bible. My Bible doesn't tell me to murder "infidels". It tells me to deal with unbelievers with Love that they may also learn of said love.

you are missing my point entirely. I'm not making any value judgements about Chrisitanity, the Bible, The Koran or Islam.

let's untie this from religeon...you cannot assume that every muslim is going to follow every edict in the koran with any more certainty than you can assume that every employee at McDonald's is going to follow every edict in the employee handbook.

I have a sinking feeling that the kid who made my Oreo McFlurry yesterday doesn't always wash his hands after using the restroom....

I trust no Muslim. The 9/11 murderers lived among Americans for years while waiting for the order to murder 3000 people. How can we ever be sure that the friendly Muslim who "just wants to be left alone" isn't waiting on a similar order. The truth is that we can't. I assume they're are up to something.
