The history of the MUSLIM religion is that it will cause its adherents to kill you if you do not agree with them. The only reason that your friends haven't killed you yet is that they are not yet strong enough to do so with impunity. You cannot love America and be a committed Muslim. There is a name for those that foolishly hope against hope that the Islamofacists will not kill - it is Appeaser. Sooner or later either they will triumph or we will.

Actually, the Islamofacists relate to regular Islam the way Christian Identity relates to Christianity. There's plenty of Old Testament stuff that can be used to justify violence against others. But we're not Old Testament folks - we don't keep slaves, we don't stone women to death if they are not virgins when married (Deut 22:20), and we don't kill all the men and enslave all the women and children when we conquer an enemy (Deut 20:13-14). So - just as it is possible for Christians to move on and become more civilized, it is possible for Muslims to do the same. And many do.

You seem to miss the fact that Islam has no New Testament that overrides all that Old Testament "kill the non-believer" stuff. There aren't significant percentages of Christians in the Christian Identity-type groups. You can't say that about Islam. There aren't significant numbers of Muslims trying to stop their crazed breathren. Most Christians would turn in a Christian Identity movement person who had committed a crime in a heartbeat.

Comparing the two as you have is an apples vs. oranges situation. One of these is not like the other. One of these creeds, as practiced in the world today, is evil.

Period.

Wrong. Regular Islam is the equivalent of Christian Identity. Difference being Christian Identity has 7 followers and Islam has 1.3 billion.
