I just would like to say that Samaan Sadat's comments are not only wrong but outragrous. The Quran states that "any man be he Muslim Christian or Jew who believes in one God and lives a righteous life shall receive no ill will upon him". Also when the Quran speaks of infidels, it is not other believers in God that it is refering to, but it is to those who claim to be believers in Allah but still speak of nothing but hate. Islam is not a religion of hate and violence but one of love and tolerance.
