This guy has a point

Islam does not have a monopoly on Despotic leaders. What they do have that no one else has is the Term Jihad. This term is interpreted in many ways but the fact remains that At least over recent history I know of no other religious/ethnic group that has an equivalent in their vocabulary for Jihad.

The Moorish tolerance of people of the book is long dead. I have a problem with any group that tells another group how to live their lives (especially when guests in other countries) and Sharia law is brutal and outdated. We all need to learn to accept each other as we are, not as we want each other to be.

Islam must change the perception of Jihad. It will take a very long time. Until so I will be guarding the wall with many many others to insure no one shoves their brand and 7th century BS down my throat.,

Salam
