THE "FAIR MINDED TRADITIONS OF ISLAM "??

The "Fair minded traditions of Islam" notwithstanding, the "Nation of Islam" adds no more or less than any other variation of Muhammedism. The notion that Islam has "Fair minded traditions" is a leap. One supposes that the "Tradition" of beheadings are "Fair minded" . There is nothing "Fair" about Islam in any form. The NOI is intolerant, bizzare, radical, and hateful. How is that different than any other Islamic sect.. Any nut case that yells "Allau Akbar" can be a Muslim, so why the parsing. Why do non Muhammedians care about the nuances among the Muhammedian hordes. If you are not a Muslim, they want you dead, no matter if its the Sunni, Shiite, Islamism,nation of Islam, or the Islamic benevolent society. In fact, the NOI is less violent in action than are other sects of the Muhammedians.
