its the ..."ism"

The belief structure of Mohammedism which all "Muslims" adhere to, is based on force and violence . If a person internalizes a belief system to identify as "I am a muslim", or whatever, one can assume that the tenants of that belief system is paramount in that persons life. So it is with Mohammedism. The person should be afforded the respect that any adult human being is entitled and take them at their word.The fact is Mohammed is the model, the idealized individual that all "Muslims" accept, and that model is violent and intolerant. Why do we find it so difficult to accept that all Mohammedians (Muslims) reject, with violence, any percieved threat to the Mohammedian model, and will utilize violence to extend the influence of their belief system. This is the history of Mohammedism.
