I have had the great honor and privlage to work with many Muslims. I have learned alot about Islam and come to respect the religion. I have also come to see that it is not all "evil" like some would want you to believe.
Hang around them all you want, thats great. I'm not saying all Muslims are evil, however, what I am saying is that the Koran teaches them to kill those who will not convert. There is no ignorance in what I said about that. I have studied it and you have not, so you would be the ignorant one on the subject, no matter how many muslim people you work with.
How is that no different then Christian missionaries converting the "savages" of the New World? You either joined or died. The fact of the matter is BOTH religions were used as effective and bloody tools of conversion.
The difference is that an reference in the Koran is being used agianst people of Islamic faith. Shall we dig deep into the bible and find references about those who do not accept the word of God shall suffer a horrible death? I know it is in there.
Look behind the words, Corbett. This reference is being used to foster stereotypes and racist ideas to promote hate, so that this "war on terror" can still be successful.
