Amein,
You said, "it is truly unfortunate that there are incidents that misrepresent Islam and by Muslims nevertheless... however, one should be able to discern the difference between such behavior and the message of Islam..."
I am investigating. And I am coming up with this violent behavior is justified in Islamic scripture. I know, I know, you don't agree with me. However, lets not get into that right now.
I would like to ask another question, if you don't mind. If this violence, horrendous behavior is not true Islam, what is true Islam doing to clean it up? Why aren't the "so called" true Muslims out there cleaning up this mess? If Islam is love and peace, and that is the majority of Islamic people, this should be happening, right?
I think you must properly observe what is currently going on Islam right now, as evidenced by the majority or the current Islamic people, and their behavior, to know what the message of Islam is. With that being said, where are they now, and how are they out in mass cleaning up this mess? Why aren't all the true Muslims turning over bin Laden, instead of supporting him and harboring him?
Lets not go deeper than the current Muslim behavior to be the true judge of what the message of Islam is...
