Please note that, while we invite your comments, the My Fellow American Channel was created to offer a new narrative about Muslims in America and offer people a safe platform to discuss their opinions. While we invite healthy debate, the comment portion of the channel is not intended as a forum for personal attacks and destructive postings. If that is your intention in commenting, we ask that you go elsewhere. Further, because this is intended to be a community friendly channel, we ask that you also refrain from the use of expletives when commenting.
Our guidelines include:
1. To speak personally, for yourself as an individual, not as a representative of a religion or a group,
2. Avoid assigning intentions, beliefs, or motives to others.
3. Ask others questions instead of stating untested assumptions about them. If you comment in a respectful way our channel can be a positive environment for productive dialogue.

Pleas if you don't know things about Muslims don't write bad comments about them I wanna curse so badly to all of you that abused my religion (Islam) but in Islam I'm not allowed to so please we Muslims don't write bad things about christianty but y do u?

[kuttenkijker]

Did that imam showed you peaceful and tolerant verses from the Quran? They're all abrogated by the hateful and intolerant verses revealed in Medina. Damn, you're so stupid, unbelievable! Read 16:101, Allah substitutes verses in the Quran. What a libreal dumbass, stay away as far as possible from those liars.

@elhamh if you were intellectually honest we could engage in a dialog.. but as you are an apologist and islam is centuries away from reasonable reform.. no conversation is possible..

[daNDayati]

@elhamh Yours is the apologists position, "ignore what the other faithful are doing. they got it wrong".. now that is ludicrous.. islamic dogma is part and parcel of the way muslims behave.. .. and you pretend to teach to me? I can learn (and have learned) well from the good examples from the pious muslims I have seen.. My religion? now that is a presumptuous and offensive question. I am secular.. (you know, the ones who actually gave the world the notion of human rights)..

[daNDayati]

@elhamh ok.. police report released there this month, every single solved case of assault-rape in the country in 2010 was carried out by a Muslim immigrant. (re:Immigrants aka muslims, behind most cases of aggravated sexual assault, "aggravated sexual assault, which resulted in rape. All of them were carried out by non-western immigrants to Norway"., Norway Post, 16 April 2009.

[elhamh]

@daNDayati Alright then, please stop looking at what Muslims do and look at the actual teachings of Islam. People aren't perfect they make mistakes, you can't look at Muslims as Islam. Islam is a religion, Muslims are it's followers. And most of what you're saying are lies, like how all sex crimes were committed by Muslims, it's ridiculous. If you truly want to learn about Islam I can teach you, What religion are you? Islam is very closely related to the major religions.

[daNDayati]

@elhamh I am prepared to substantiate. This is not rage nor gratuitous citations from disreputable sources... a lot of what I have said is first hand knowledge..with very few exceptions I know many of the countries islamic world..and can bear witness.. I am reasonable and receptive... if you are... so.. we can help each other then..

[daNDayati]

@ironicdevil666 "lol" denial? "In islam" sounds familiar... (the christians say the say thing) being a true follower.. (right?) The tenants of islam seem to support all kinds of antisocial behavior (e.g. ALL violent sex crimes committed in Norway 2010 were by muslims).. and in the aggregate we could (with space) spell it out by country subject to islamic rules.. there is a common thread..
