OMG Yes you can because that is what the Koran teaches them to do. Quit ignoring me. You are wrong!
Your post reminds me to what an Indian coworker of mine once said (shortly after arriving from India): "I hate all Cristians for what they do. They come into my country as missionaries and give food/money to people if they declare themselves as Christians. Missionaries get people to lie about their religion because their Bible teaches them to do so." When I told him that I am a Christian, he asked how could I identify myself with "those people" he saw in India.
Your "opinion" about Muslims is about as well-founded as his is about Christians. Except for he based his opinion on what he personally saw.
You seem to know pretty well what the Koran says. Did you read it ? He did not read the Bible just had an "educated opinion" about it based on talking to others and watching the (certainly biased) media in his country.
Just like him, you seem to have a pretty good sense to select the true representatives of a community of hunderds of millions of people...
