>>>If a Muslim believes in the Koran, then they are for the implementation of Muslim law over everyone else. The Koran does not seperate religion from governance, in fact it says you must "Make Sharia your law" (Koran 40:17).

Doesn't that depend on which 'translation' they read? I've read 4 different translations. Some are horrible and support all the terrorist activities, some translations are well, acceptable. Some translations say the 'people of the book' (meaning Christians and Jews) must be respected. The terrorist venue says the infidel must be converted, taken as the true muslim's slave OR be put to death.

This is where I get confused with the propaganda.

Are there moderate Muslims?

Only in the begining of the book, the later part says they must all be killed. If they are Moderate, they are not Muslim. Islam teaches to kill, lie, torture and rape. It uses the Koran and the Hadif. I can point out dozens of passages that COMMAND to kill in the name of Islam. Since Moslems claim the Koran and the Hadif is their Holy book, there is no such thing as a Moderate Muslim.

Now I know Islamics will complain about my claims of rape being taught, but what else do you call killing a man, enslaving his children and marrying his wife that day. I kinda think the wifes view point of the consumation of the marriage is along the lines of rape instead of romance. "Honey, I love you, here is the head of your husband as a wedding gift." Now you are my wife, put on the burka or I will beat you."

Of course there are. Some are conservative Republicans and freepers. Bush won 55% of the Muslim vote in 2000.
