Re: OT - I may be in the minority

Anyone who believes the Muslin religion is based on hatred is either
ignorant or sadly misinformed! Muhammad was a very remarkable man. He won
victories and freedom for his people. The Koran, which Muslims believe is
God's word delivered through Muhammad (who was illiterate) is a very
beautiful book. I have read an English translation of it. I have Muslin
friends.

Lumping all Muslims with al Quida (don't know how to spell that) would be
like lumping all Christians with the likes of Falwell or other radical
Christians. I think it is safe to say most Christians are not that extreme.

Religious extremism is a dangerous thing--in any religion.

It's really no different than Muslims. Most of us believe they are a
religion based on hatred. THere are those Muslims who say they are not.
Most of us don't pay them much mind because of what we see being done my
the big-mouth zealots. Same thing here. Some may consider Falwell and his
ilk idiots and laughing stock, but they are no laughing matter. A good
number of people hang on their every word as if it comes from the throne
of GOd himself.

sense know that you just can't use a wide brush to paint ANY large group
of people. Anyone who uses their religion to further a personal agenda
is straying pretty far from its intent, IMO.
