>>>And by the way the USA did fight to defend muslims in the Serbia thing...Correct<<

Correct, but the word never seemed to make it Muslims worldwide. Proof IMO, of the lack of leadership among some moderate Arabs and the Arab media. Many U.S. actions that benefit Muslims go virtually unnoticed IMO. I recently read a quote attributed to the prophet Mohammed that said "a Muslim that kills an ally will never know the smell of paradise".

IMO Khomenei was a usurper and a weak leader that used scapegoats. Even after those lessons you refer to, the Iranian people have seen the light and have recently voted to become more moderate.

Many religions direct a faithful follower to take more than one wife, including the Book of Mormon. I think an invasion of Utah would be a bad idea though.

And off the top of my head I can't think of ANY major religion that doesn't claim religious primacy for itself. Saying "we are the only true religion and all others are heresy" is a tool for a religion to gain legitimacy.

What does it say about us when it seems I'm the only person defending one of the worlds major religions? Does everyone believe there is nothing good in Islam? A religion espoused by so many decent and honorable people, including the great American, Mohammed Ali?
