I hope you also read a page I provide a link to at the end, called "30 Facts About Islam." Also, I strongly suggest you read a comment left by a Robertson/Falwell clone, who claims to be part of the Army of God, named Rev Spitz.
What I forgot to mention in the blog is Becky Fischer, who stated, in the film Jesus Camp, "I want to see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam, I want to see them radically laying down their lives for the gospel, as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine."
So, Islam is not a religion of intolerance and terrorism, like people think.

Religion can be dangerous because it leaves the door wide open for radical interpretation in times of need.

Yep, I'm not promoting religion or anything with my blog, I'm simply stating that mainstream Islam is peaceful and tolerant, yet the religion is sometimes hijacked by radical elements such as those of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the Taliban.

Thanks for your article. It is good to educate and to remind us that it isn't the religion it is how hatred, power, and other issues impact the people who practice a religion.

Almost all organized religion is nothing more than hoaxes and scams. I wouldn't count Buddhism, but that blurs the line between religion and philosophy.

It is more like the Anglophone western world is in a rage of islamophobia, not the whole of the western world by any stretch. I haven't seen any islamophobia in Switzerland, Italy, Sweden and several other countries. In Britain, it is quite intense, though. France, even though it has a relatively high proportion of Muslims, is not all that islamophobic at all.

Its easy for the west to have Islamaphobia.. do you not remember seeing crowds of Palestinians CHEERING as the World Trade Center fell to the ground?
I agree that Mainstream Islam is peaceful and tolerable.. they need to do something about the crazies that've highjacked their religion.
And there is a difference between wishing youth would commit, and youth actually committing terror killing and dying in the name of god.

The children taught to die for Jesus in "Jesus Camp" are still young, most likely, so those who don't grow a brain might grow up to be terrorists. Also, there have been a few bombings of abortion clinics and murders of abortion doctors.

I remember being taught in bible school that if someone asked you if you believed in Jesus with a gun to your head ready to shoot you if you said yes, you should say yes no matter what. Thank god I'm agnostic now.
Islamophobia is just the aftermath of the fear campaign the Bush administration successfully lied it's way through the last 8 years.

For the most part, I don't think organized religions are bad or evil. It's the people who proclaim themselves as the voice of god. or the messenger from god, that cause all the trouble. They pervert the religious texts into something they were never ment to be. These people take a peaceful religion and turn it into a hurtful and hate mongering version of their own making.It's happened over and over through history.

Finally someone realizes the truth!
However, it is a shame that people abuse religion for their own ends, like the Ku Klux Klan. Also, people act so violently cause of the physical and social oppression they are forced to go through. If you keep on beating some with a stick he is going to fight back sooner or later, like in Palestine. I don't agree with all this killing, just saying this is what happens.
Keep it Real. Cc*

What happened to freedom of speech? My previous posts were removed. These are dangerous signs of dangerous times. When information, facts and discussion are blatantly censored instead of being intelligently responded to. What are we trying to hide?
In response to "Islam not the religion of terror and intolerance" please study the following articles and think again. Mainstream Islam has a long history of violence, world conquest and intolerance of non-Islamic beliefs and cultures.
The holocaust of the Hindus and Buddhists during Islam's invasion of India being the most notable.
