Shame on you. To accuse someone without a due cause is not Christian.

SweetLiberty posted an extensively documented article on Islam. If you wish to point out where that article was wrong, please do so. Even better, provide equivalent information proving the peaceful nature of Islam. Either way, we would all like to read an intelligent response from an informed defender of Islam.

However, to defend Islam simply by attacking a person who questions it is no defense at all. On the contrary, it strengthens the suspicion that a legitimate defense is not possible.

BTW, it should be obvious, but I'll point it out anyway: To claim that Islam has been accused without due cause is absurd. Shame on you (your words).

Thus far you have only hurt your cause. If you wish to defend Islam in a legitimate way, I look forward to reading your defense.

Thank you for your note. On this thread earlier, as well as other threads, I have reitetated at length my main premise: (i) all holy books are somewhat ambiguous and may be interpreted differently, (ii) we are at war with the "muslim church", not the religion: there is a distinction much the same way as the bloody crusades were instigated and blessed not by Jesus but by Church.

I do believe that the "muslim church" has declared war on us, and we should fight it without mercy. But to pluck out a few quotations from Quran and conclude something about the whole religion is not constructive and wrong. Thank you again for your note.

I have also posted well documented information about Islam which I doubt anyone here has bothered to read because it does not fit into the distorted view you prefer to own. I really have no reason to defend Islam because I don't even have many friends who are Islamic. My defense here is really in an effort to stop my Christian friends from the type of behavior I see going on here. This is a one sided view of a religion that you fail to see is not the view of many of those who practice that religion.

You know, bin Laden has interjected his sick interpretation of Islam into this battle for a good reason. He wants nothing more than a jihad against Christians and Jews! What better way then to get Christians and Jews riled up against half of the world! You all buy into that lock stock and barrel, armed with propoganda that seems to justify your cause. That is what I am against.
