Scotty,

You are talking a bout ...yourself. You haven't bothered to open your eyes and look at the situation properly. You just assume that the Quran is 'evil' and so ALL Muslims and the Prophet are 'evil' and the 'devil'. Who are you to judge who haven't read any scriptures or the Quran. That is like me saying the Bible is the 'Devil' and messed up even if i haven't read it. Do you see how ignorant that sounds. (I have read it but i don't think it is the devil).

These so called "Islamic" suicide bombers have been brainwashed by individuals in those communities and are in the minority. They have been fed lies and false beliefs and have interpreted the Principle of Jihad completely wrongly. Islam is shown in a very unfavourable light. The media has distorted the view of many, many people... But I guess I will never know.

I have many friends who are Muslim (I am also Muslim) and are very peaceful and respectful of people and speak with more wisdom ...as do my many Non - Muslim friends. I know I am not terrorist and I know I don't hate my fellow citizens who I live amongst.

I also like to mention that Christianity has used force and violence in the name of God in the pass to gain their way. Do the Crusades ring a bell? Do you know what the Crusades were and involved? Probably not. So what I suggest you should do is to go and read a couple of books and do some REAL research in order to build a proper opinion.
