I've read (an English interpretation) of the Koran, lived in an Islamic country, visited other Islamic countries, and opted to write a series of very long research papers on the subject of Islam when I was in university. None of these experiences has ever led me to change my opinions on the religion. It is very backwards and responsible for many of the problems we see in the middle-east. I guess it is nice to hold hands and get all lovey dovey about all religions being good and equal, but that is a bit like putting blinders on and looking the other way. Some things simply shouldn't be ignored, but for the last several years there seems to have been a desperate desire to ignore this one.
just what things have we ignored?
Many people tend to ignore, or turn a blind eye, to the stupidities, bigotries and immoral views inherent to Islam, and represented by many Muslims (Islamists in particular).
Or generally have a soft spot of "respect" towards anything religious.
If you don't do that, bloody well for you.
may I remind you that not all Muslims approve of the likes of Bin Laden? Not all Muslims are terrorists.
Who said they did? Who said they were? Who are you talking to?
How bout you take a tardis, go back to the 70's and tell Muhammad Ali to his face, that his religion is ridiculous and stupid.
As I don't really rank the truth about Muhammad Ali's opinions on anything, very highly on my priority list, here's something he said according to Wikipedia:
"Indeed, Ali's religious beliefs at the time included the notion that the white man was "the devil" and that white people were not "righteous"."
... What a bunch of SCHLOCK.
