Cyrus seems like a good guy to me, too, and I appreciated his input, but I'm afraid its not representative, and it is, indeed, too late to reconcile my feelings. It is not a religion of peace.

Well you're certainly entitled to your feelings. Sometimes I feel the same as you do, so I know where you're coming from.

I believe a lot of people felt the same about the Japanese (and the Germans) in WWII. And a lot of people felt the same about the American Indians from the 1600's to the 1900's. And all the religious wars in Europe certainly brought out the strongest feelings. Most all those hard feelings have now blown over, and we live in peace with all those groups. I hope that one day (maybe soon, or maybe in hundreds of years) we'll also feel the same about the Muslim world.

Cyrus needs prayers for protection from the rest of the ummah.
