Religion is supposed to improve our lives, not make us into raving fanatics in the name of an angry and vengeful deity. Ptui!

The problem is that you have to improve your life *their* way. If you don't want to do it *their* way, you have to die.

Not true with Christianity, not really sure about Islam, but in Christianity its not a physical death (I'm assuming that is the kind of death you mean) you suffer, but a spiritual one. In this case it is God who makes the judgement, not the followers. Unfortunatly many "Christians" think that they are have the right to judge. BTW the Bible says that God will judge based on the individual's experience.

You didn't read the other posts about there being different 'types' of Muslims? The ones you're refering to are not a true representative of all muslims.

Wrong.

As others have stated here and I have stated in other threads, your remark is untrue. It is a broad generalization where its precision matches perfectly with its accuracy. Don't propagate the stereotype. Find out for yourself.

In fact, your statement cannot even stand on its own merit. You're obviously alive--you're posting. You're obviously not one of them--you refer to "them" and not "us".

Think for yourself, don't believe lies, exaggerations and stereotypes.

You're right in saying there are many different types of Muslims. Spex is right in saying there are some that feel we must go along or die. It's just a matter on numbers....how many we have to worry about and how many we don't.

Just because Spex is alive doesn't prove there are not people who want to kill him for his faith, or lack of it.

Those radicals are the ones we have to prevent from winning the hearts and minds of the rest. You know, the opposite of what bush is doing.
