Good luck, because it ain't there.
Alright you guys are missing the forest for the trees
For the most part Muslims that live in the United States are peaceful loving people who just want to practice their religion peacefully and live their lives. Also this is true in many other countries throughout the world but not in Islamic states such as Iran, and Pakistan, etc.
The problem is not the Quran, which excluding its punishment for adultry and apostasy, is a good guide. The problem is Islamic Law or the Sharia, Hadith, Al-Qiyas, and Ijma' which is used to indoctrinate muslims into believing that people who do not believe in Islam are second class citizens or infidels. Under the Sharia christians are viewed as infidels because we believe in the trinity which muslim law views as polytheism. Atheist are infidels because they are ungodly and do not believe in god. I could continue but islamic law has an exception to every other religion for why they are infidels.
Under Islamic Law non-belivers are called Zimmi's and these Zimmi's have very limited rights such as:
- Zimmis are not allowed to build new churches, temples, or synagogues. Yet, Muslims, if they wish, are permitted to demolish all non-Muslim houses
of worship in any land they conquer.
- Zimmis are not allowed to pray or read their sacred books out loud at home or in churches, lest Muslims hear their prayers.
- Zimmis are not allowed to print their religious books or sell them in public places and markets. They are allowed to publish and sell them among
their own people, in their churches and temples.
- Zimmis are not allowed to install the cross on their houses or churches since it is a symbol of infidelity.
- Zimmis are not permitted to broadcast or display their ceremonial religious rituals on radio or television or to use the media or to publish any
picture of their religious ceremonies in newspaper and magazines.
- Zimmis are not allowed to congregate in the streets during their religious festivals; rather, each must quietly make his way to his church or
temple.
- Zimmis are not allowed to join the army unless there is indispensable need for them in which case they are not allowed to assume leadership
positions but are considered mercenaries.
- The Shafi`ites declare that a Muslim who assassinates a Zimmi must not be killed, because it is not reasonable to equate a Muslim with a polytheist
To sum things up Islamic Law justifies the subordination of non-muslims plan and simple. Whether you think so or not we are in a holy war a sort of Islamic crusades. So the fact that a simple comment like this from the pope can raise this much fury should tell you something about the direction this world is going in.
