Don't be afraid, we won't kill muslims

Much has been written about Islam being a peaceful religion, even by Mr. Pipes.

Yet Islam, as practiced by its most visible adherents, appears to be a violent and racist ideology. It is difficult to view it any other way when muslims engage in these obviously violent and racist activities. Furthermore, for "peaceful" muslims to protest when this obvious truth is pointed out is blatant hypocracy. None of this will end until those charged with interpreting and teaching Islam delegitemize its violent/racist version, and this is not going to happen any time soon.
