I also believe that Muslims have the same rights to their beliefs as the rest of us do.

Do you know what they believe?

Islam's Immigrant Invasion of Europe: What sense is there in respecting those who don’t respect us?

Secularists

are Muslims who do not have a knowledge of the contents of the Quran and only know a verse or two to justify enjoying their life such as: "Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world" (Surat AI-Kahf 18:46).

Moderates

know the Quran but seek to make their faith relevant to modern life. They try to reconcile the contradicting verses in the Quran in such a way that Muslims may tolerate Jews and Christians living among them. They emphasize the verses that came to the Prophet Muhammad when he was weak militarily and in need of the support of Jews and Christians.

Islam means Peace, so they tell us! Several articles by Silas investigate aspects of Muhammad's life and actions that raise questions regarding his prophethood which is the core doctrine of Islam: Muhammad and the Death of Kinana, The Death of Muhammad, Muhammad, Aisha, Islam, and Child Brides. Further: A Rebuttal of Jamal Badawi's "Wife Beating".

Being a non-Muslim under Islamic rule:The theory and the reality ...

The central goal of Islam is to establish Islamic law in every country, and this is the declared purpose of many Islamic organizations also in the USA and in Europe. What could the implications be for your life? What can we learn from the past?

Muhammad, Islam, and Terrorism The below following article "Muhammad, Islam, and Terrorism" was written nearly two and a half years before the terror attack of September 11th, 2001. This tragedy has shown again how important it is to understand the reasons and dynamics fuelling Islamic terrorism. Determining the right response is not easy. But some kinds of response are definitely wrong.

Top Shi'ite Cleric Bans Muslims From U.S. War ``It is not permissible for any Islamic party, country, ruler or political movement to extend any military, security or economic assistance to the United States in its war against any Muslim country or any Muslim faction,'' Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah said in a religious ruling faxed to Reuters. Fadlallah is a former spiritual mentor of Lebanon's Iranian-backed Hizbollah guerrilla group, but he is widely respected as a scholar among Shi'ites abroad, including moderates.

I know what they believe and I defend their right to believe it if they can do so without criminal activity.

Remedy, tell me how many religions in the world you do agree with? The concept of religious freedom does not allow us to pick and choose a persons beliefs no matter how crazy they seem to us. I believe in that freedom.

You and I share the same basic religious beliefs, but the salvation we know is a free gift that we could take or leave. If it is not freely chosen it is meaningless. Christianity is perfectly compatable with religious freedom. Islam may not be but as long as they stay within the law they're entitled to those beliefs. We can't play thought and religion police if we want to protect our own religious freedoms. That's my point.
