Are you allowed to request the murder of someone for burning a book? 

Of not, what are these guys?

i think we both know the answer to that. this reminds me of a religious cat fighting. not entertanning in the lest. i burn your what ever and i kill you. muslims are just playing catch up to chritians and the amount of death and percecution they caused, but they don't have enough time.

You have got to be kidding me... Muslims have killed hundreds of thousands more people in the name of god over the last few hundred years then Christians.

But I understand why you took the conversation there... you have no other response. Someone had done an indefensible act, so instead of being a man and admitting the wrong doing in this action, you just point to something that happened hundreds of years ago.

It's small minded. You can do better then that.

Not a "religious institution".  But then I wouldn't say the Moral Majority was a religious institution either - rather a religiously motivated political organization.  Maybe you disagree? 

yes, and KGB americans  *rolls eyes*

Of course.  Who would suspect them, especially 20 years after the fall of the Soviet Union?  It's the perfect cover! 

I don't really care what you call it, I am just saying these guys would not exist if not for Islam.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda

Al-Qaeda ideologues envision a complete break from the foreign influences in Muslim countries, and the creation of a new Islamic caliphate. Reported beliefs include that a Christian-Jewish alliance is conspiring to destroy Islam,^[11] which is largely embodied in the U.S.-Israel alliance, and that the killing of bystanders and civilians is religiously justified in jihad.

I think your assertion that these religious extremists would be peaceful if religion was out of the picture is not well supported to say the least.  Just because their goals/justifications are related to religion in this world, doesn't mean that in a non-religious world they would not have similarly extreme goals with secular justifications.  A lot of this is cultural stuff between ethnic Jews and Arabs as much as between religious Jews and Muslims.  And a lot of the violence is fueled by diehards exploiting people so poor they feel they have nothing to lose. 

One difference I can see is that it would be harder to convince people to throw their lives away if they didn't believe in an afterlife, but that's hardly unique to Islam is it? 

That quote from wiki is wierd... because it is clearly stated in the Koran that Christians and Jews are disbelievers and so are part of the warring terretories in the eternal Jihad.

The realistic dose may just be that the Koran itself over the centuries has been an enabler, many never mention that after the Muslim prophet Muhammad there were many other alleged prophets who took to editing the Koran with divine revelations of their own. Al-Qaeda seems to be going about it in a more... western way and instead of just changing the Koran they are feeding off of it's intention to keep a constant aggression towards Non-Muhammad worshippers of one god. Honestly the if someone over the internet came and enacted or made clear a belief in the Koran's values today without me knowing that such a thing were involved in the real world then I would just face palm the rant.

It's clear to me that Ignorance in America towards Islam is a result of intention by the Islamics. I've had friends back in the early 90's who went 5%er but they would suddenly look at me like the enemy, years two of them appologized but I made it a point being that I believe in a right and equal justice to point out that Muslims to be specific the Arab Muslim were just as much if not even more so involved in the African/Black Slave trade as the white race. In fact the Arab Muslim in all his depravity would castrate the African Male (man or child) in a belief that their sexual tendencies were insatiable. The issue is that they still do it to this day.

Tolerance... in Egypt it is illegal to make or repair a house of worship if it is not muslim and thats a nation with good relation to Europe and US.

The Conquerer of Constaninople Mehmet II said all those who have another form of worship under him would be safe and may worship what he never mentioned to the world was that their children would be a tax to him and made to serve some seperated from all they knew. What he never said was that if they converted to Islam to leave the taxation they could never go back to their original religion without being branded apostate.

Not saying that Mehmet II was a bad guy. I never met him personally.

I just find that quote wierd because thats not the belief ot Al-Qaeda that is the value found in the Koran.
