Reader comment on item: Lamyaa Hashim, Supporting Burqas and Suicide Bombers
in response to reader comment: Al-Shaitaan Loves Radicals, So does Satan

Submitted by DesertDawg (United States), Feb 26, 2006 at 15:56

Nikki has it wrong, Islam is not a "religion of peace," and the person whom she has attacked as read the Quran and understands its message all too well.

Referring to the Crusades and Inquisition do no one a service; the difference here is that, while someone who commits violent acts perverts the very teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, a Muslim who fights the "infidel" is fullfilling the commandments of Muhammed: "Force them to submit until they have paid the jizya and feel themselves humbled..."

There are far too man scholarly resources for Nikki and people like her to continue to spread the dangerous "head-in-the-sand" approach to Islam and the mortal dangers it poses.
