Hi, just saw this... how are you! been a while!

To learn of the horrors of islam, do a google search for "prophet of doom".

Al Qaeda doesn't exist as an organised group. Go to iamthewitness(dot)com and theinfounderground(dot)com and get up to speed. Al Qaeda was just a network of sellouts employed by the CIA. Do you know what Al Qaeda means in Arabic yet? Do you know a toilet is also referred to as a base? Get with the program please. Still look hot by the way.

secularism ftw

You're absolutely right. In fact, many of the heads of Al-Qaeda and other radicals are very educated people. However, they have no strength just themselves-- their strength lies in the many people who follow them, who I believe are more likely to be marginalized..

Additionally, a devout Muslim can certainly read and study the Koran without reaching such a conclusion. In fact, most Muslims are not radicals. Out over a billion Muslims far fewer are radicals than not.

@ambreality

thank you for your good answer about devout Muslims, and I confirm that by saying that if being a devout Muslim means being radical, you would see hundreds of milions of Muslims join these radical groups.

yea i know that most Muslims arent radicals but after having seen several passages in the koran that call for the extermination of infidels I find it no wonder that someone who believes the koran to be the perfect word of God goes of and kills infidels.

[Zillaroo]

jam454,you are contradicting yourself.

[jam454]

i really don't think so, could you explain how?

[Zillaroo]

you said that most Muslims are not radicls, at the same time you said that the Quran calls for the extermination of infidles, FYI most muslims read the Quran from cover to cover at least once a year, but there are still non-Muslim minorities living among them.

[jam454]

If you are saying whether or not the Koran actually says this here you go.

I realize that most Muslim people that read these passages dont go out and kill people. All I am saying is that I can understand someone that does.

[Zillaroo]

these passages talk about war times,and not time of peace or when they have a treaty with the non-Muslims.

[jam454]

well i am no expert on the koran so i am in no position to argue that with you. do plan to study it soon though.

[jam454]

i think that radicalization is a much deeper issue. A devout Muslim who studies they koran and believes it... the logical conclusion would all out war on non Muslims. I mean thats what the koran says. These terriorsts are really just being more true to their faith than the less radical ones. There aren''t necessarily marginalized or uneducated.
