Speaking of cheap talk, Mr.Muftuoglu, actions always speak louder than words: like C.A.I.R. condemning the U.S.Justice Department every time they break up a plot and arrest terrorists,or imams standing before the cameras calling for the deaths of Americans,while other imams tell us what a just and peaceful religion Islam is.

Well,sir,I just don't see it. With news of the slaughter of 3,000 Americans in New York City, millions of Muslims around the world flooded into the streets IN CELEBRATION of the event. I realise everyone is human first, but it seems that Islam does all it can to marginalize and de-humanize non-Muslims and has done so throughout it's history. It is my opinion that a closer a Muslim gets to the Koran the more radicalized and dangerous he becomes. Islam needs to reform the Koran, Hadiths and Sira. All the violent passages and verses of warning and condemnation of Jews and Christians need to be removed from the "scriptures" of Islam.

If the violence against Christians and their Western democracies continues unabated the stage will be set,unfortunately,for open warfare between Islam and the rest of the world.I would not like to see this happen,but it may come to the point where Islam will not leave unbelievers any other choice.I have nothing against you personally,sir,or any other Muslim.

I realise there are many Muslims who just want to live a good life and raise their children.But if just one tenth of Muslims harbor death and destruction in their hearts against infidels it means there are over one hundred million Muslims who want to destroy every other religion at ANY cost.I seem to have gotten off topic,but just wanted to make the point that history reaveals that Islam is anything but a peaceful religion. Peace be with you.
