Anybody surprised?
Yes or no..........
Westerners believe that Islam is just another religion, a facade that Islamists support until their numbers in an area are strong enough to change the local political system.
Bullseye...........
Even when a movement like Islam insists that their intent is to destroy you and when they make clear statements to that effect, you still won't believe them, and think that some "compromise" can be reached that will allow both sides to live in peace. History is full of the graves of people who thought the same way.
And once again, I emphasize that Islam doesn't worth that way. Islam is more than just a "different religion", it is also a political movement, and one that demands that it be the sole political (Sharia law) authority as well as the sole religious authority. You might as well try to categorize Ebola or Smallpox as a religion; doing so will make you no more immune to their ultimate effects.
BTTT to you friend.............you've nailed it.
One possible reason is that there were no Moslems when the Bible was written.
There weren't too many Hindus in the Holy Land either.
You say the most stupid things.
