Oh really?

I spent six years living and working in Kuwait, Egypt and Pakistan. I´ve visited Dubai and Bahrain and Qatar. I know a lot of Muslims and the ones who don´t actually practice Islam I call my friends. I dated a Palestinian Muslima for over a year (in secret, of course, because her family would not stand for her seeing a kufr). I´ve read the Koran and an untold number of books about Mohammed and your religion.

I have NO fear of God´s wrath for insulting Mohammed since I am 100% convinced he was simply the greatest con man that ever lived, and since I believe God to be a loving God, so I know He would NEVER make a man such as Mohammed a prophet. You "hate" me? Gee...gosh. I hate your religion and its so-called prophet for all the misery and pain and death and hate and bigotry and sociopathy it has brought into the world the last 1400 years, as we see today. Imagine a world without Islam. Bliss. And by the way...do you think I should be killed now for insulting Mohammed? Your religious scholars and clerics think I should be. Yes...loving and peaceful Islam indeed.
