Islam is by the Koran militant

Reader comment on item: [The Need to Name and] Know Thy Terrorists

Daniel, you define "militant Islam as not Islam, not terrorism, but a terroristic reading of Islam."

Fundamentalist Muslims believe the Koran means what it says and says what is means. All other Muslims change the meaning to be "peaceful". But the fact remains that terroristic Islam comes straight from the pages of the Koran.

Islam is not peaceful, but one can say that Muslims choose to live peaceful lives because they have trouble accepting the terrorism (the call to Jihad) found in the Koran...
