Peace be with you all. Many of the comments expressed in this forum are a result of ignorance. People should learn about something for themselves before passing remarks. We people of the book (jews, christians, muslims) should be teaching love and respect and should be worrying ourselves with issues such as poverty. There are some groups who out of relative deprivation and have adopted an extreme view of islam, however many Mulsims are peaceful - like the 1.6 million English Muslims. All religions teach respect for humanity, if We, people of the book, actually followed our religions teachings then half the worlds problems would not exist!
