Unless you're stupid, you know as well as I do that it's not Islam that is the problem, but militant Islam.

That being the case, Islam is still refered to as a "Death Cult", "Gutter Religion", and other such niceties...Not to mention refering to all Middle Easterners as "Rag Heads" and what not.

Of course any fool knows that if the enemy truly was the whole of Islam, their 1 to 1.6 BILLION worshipers are the most undermotivated blood thirsty maniacs ever.

I don't have a big problem with this kind of language because I think open debate is a good thing, but let's not kid ourselves...Much of it could be classified as "Hate Speech" very easily.

And then of course are the Homosexual threads...

Islam is a cult, at least according to my faith. They deny the divinity of Jesus Christ.

So, on 9/11 with all the Palis dancing in the streets as the towers fell (so much so that Yessir I'mARat had to stop the media coverage of this) they were all "militant Islam"?

You delude yourself. Take a trip to Pakistan or Afghanistan, or Albania for that matter and take a good hard look at "Islam."

You might be interested in knowing that the World Health Organization announced not long ago that female genital mutilation is still practiced in EVERY Muslim country, and that such barbaric practices affect 90% or more of women in many of those countries, especially in Africa.

In most of the North African Muslim countries where my family spent time (my father was an oil company executive who spoke fluent Arabic), an actual "wake" of sorts always accompanies the birth of a daughter, so despised are women as a central tenet of the religion you defend here.

I've experienced Islam up close and personal by living in its midst, and I have to conclude that anyone who would defend such an arcane, anachronistic, despotic, and wholly sexist dogma whose modern locus is based largely on hatred for Jews and other non-Muslims, is an imbecile.
