I do think most Muslim people are decent and probably overlook the more hostile parts of their religion, I'm sure many individual Muslims are very charitable and peaceful, but the religion is not.

Unfortunately a hell of a lot, if not most, people who regard themselves as Muslim aren't like you and interpret Islam quite differently my friend.

I wanted to see for myself so a few years ago I went out and bought an English translation of the koran.
It took me about 2 minutes to find places where it said things like, "Search out the Christians and the Jews and kill them under the rocks they hide under".

"It is out of context" they cry. Again, anyone who has read the Koran, understands that contexts (and a chronological order, no less) are largely missing.

As Mohammed was illiterate he commanded The Companions to each memorise a portion of what was to become The Koran.

Nonetheless, Islamic scholars were forced to conclude that later statements that contradict earlier statements prevail over the earlier statements. The principle of 'Abrogation'.

Most Muslims don't even know what they are chanting.
Its sad that the Muslims wont integrate with western society, but the fault is their own. Countless western countries has tried to integrate them but their religion forbids it, the result is immigrant crime etc. The west has threaded them kindly, but we get angry people wanting more, and hating us in return. It is not the west that has done them wrong, they have bitten the hand that welcomed and fed them when they were in need, and now we should throw them out of our house for good back into the ruins they came from.

My question was simple, are you suggesting I'm not a Muslim?

It is interesting to note that the Quran itself says that it abrogates nothing. While some scholars throughout history felt the need to include abrogation to explain some things, I'd say it was due to their own ignorance. Most scholars now are falling away from the idea of abrogation (which is good, because it is not according to their scripture).
Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated.
There are certain things in our nation and in the world which I am proud to be maladjusted and which I hope all men of good-will will be maladjusted until the good societies realize — I say very honestly that I never intend to become adjusted to — segregation and discrimination. I never intend to become adjusted to religious bigotry.

"Freedom Go To Hell" huh? Then get your stupid asses back to where you came from. You obviously left your country to GAIN freedom! Take some lessons from 9/11? Be prepared for the real holocaust? Go **** yourselves!
All religion needs to DIE. If this isn't proof of that then I don't know what is.

Ditto.
Words that never rang so true, especially in these times.
We have to remember, lest we forget the painful memories of the past. The rights that were earned in blood in peaceful protest extend to ALL people, and ALL faiths.
We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.
can't remember the author of that one, but relevant.
Peace.
Sometimes fear is good, its natures way of telling you to be alert of something. Fear is what keeps you from picking up a snake of you happend to come by one, its good for you Use your instincts for all their worth, they are there for a reason.
