yes it is a rotten thing to say. there are good things about the koran, the bible, etc. some are very beautiful. why if it is so beautiful are the radicals being supported by the larger group of muslims who do not believe in extremism? why are there still honor killings, women not leaving their homes, etc., etc. because nobody does anything to stop it. for all the crying that this is un-islamic or moslem.

look at those countries and you will see it doesn't change. the u.s. is nowhere near perfect but you seem to want to live a better life here, nobody appears to be leaving the u.s. to go to the middle east to live,, go figure. if islam is so beautiful then help make it beautiful, don't cover it up.
