Islam does NOT teach this. Only the extremist element teaches this. Get it right.

You can not equate the Koran with Islam, any more than you can equate the New Testament with Christianity. Neither are followers of their original principals.
That being said, The modern Islam DOES preach killing of Christians and Jews and everyone else who is not a member of their sect. You can't go back to the original teachings and argue "see, they dont believe that". Their actions speak much louder than the acient books...
Then why is it that where ever Islam and Muslims locate.......DEATH AND DESTRUCTION follow. They talk and talk and talk about how peacefull their religion is, with all proof to the CONTRARY.
We have got it right. Look up Surya 9-5 if you haven't already.
This "extremist fringe" numbers in the hundreds of millions and controls entire nations.
