"Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. Allah does not guide the wrongdoers." (5:49, Quran)
"Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (48:29, Quran)
"When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and pay the alms-tax, let them go their way. Allah is forgiving and merciful." (9:4, Quran)

About 90 percent of Indonesia's 210 million people are Muslim. Islam in Indonesia is generally moderate and peacefulThe second statement is a contradiction of the first, apparently.

You can quote barbaric passages from the Old and New Testaments too.
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." and "If a child shall curse his mother or his father, then that child shall surely die." are from Exodus.
The Judeao-Christian-Islamic religion has a dark side. No reason just to pick on the Islamic strain.

Indonesians do not appear to be very grateful for the American boys who died freeing them from the Imperial Japanese Army.

>>>``We are angry, our blood is boiling. Until the end of time, we will defend all Muslims,'' thousands sang together, led by protest organizers using loudspeakers.
Some waved Palestinian and Afghan flags, others carried banners attacking President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair over the Afghan assaults.
``Bush and Blair, you are so cruel, you have started a crusade,'' said one banner.

``Bush and Blair, you are so cruel, you have started a crusade,'' said one banner.Is she saying that Bush and Blair stole planes, manned them with insane Muslims and used boxcutters to fly them into the towers and kill thousands?

Rueters/Yahoo appear to really be keen on this moslim protest stuff, although I do not know why.
I doubt Americans care much about the uninformed opinions of a bunch of ignorant water buffalo jockeys.

AGAIN AND AGAIN, indivual mulims in vastly overwhelming numbers and all their nutty cleric demonstate that a "them versus us" philosophy is the product of the Koran, regardless of what their governments attempt to achieve.
By their actions they are demonstrating that a line exists in the sand between the Islamic evil-doer and his non-Muslim victim.
Bring back Richard Coeur d'Leon!!

Whooo boy, was I ever a dumbass for wanting to take a consulting job there a few years back. Glad I didn't.

"The Judeao-Christian-Islamic religion has a dark side. No reason just to pick on the Islamic strain." That may be, but where in Bible or the Torah, exactly, are Christians or Jews exhorted to literally hunt and kill disbelievers?
The Spanish Inquisition, you say? Well, that took place during a time that we in the West freely admit was dark and uncivilized.
The time has come for the civilized peoples of the world to bring the light of reason and knowledge to those who have wallowed in the darkness of ignorance and repression.

Do you think they'd like a few hand grenades to play with?
To: Pericles
Like it or not, the allegedly highjacked Islam of Bin Laden appears to have quite a following. They have decided, no matter what our President will say, that this is a war against Islam. Fine. Our enemies are defining the battle. We ignore their statements at our peril. We cannot put our heads in the sand and pretend that since we don't dislike them, they must reciprocate. THEY HATE US! We are facing hundreds of millions of angry Muslims. How do we intend to approach the problem? Placate them? Wage war? This problem is not going to go away on its own. We must face it head on.
I would put the Indonesian government on notice. Reign in your crazies or face our wrath. If not, we can expect Indonesian suicide bombers too.

More than 10,000 Muslims, some singing ''our blood is boiling,'' Islam means "peace".

``If we continue demonstrating, our country will become a poorer country,'' he warned. ``Many foreigners have left the country and the impact has been felt by our hotel industry and business community.'' Duhhhh!!!!
Civilized people generally don't go in for the shouting in the streets kind of stuff when they want to do business or take a holiday.
