Lorne, you said: islam is much more than a religion, it is also a form of government.

I agree. But that aspect has lost its relevance today. I can see why Mohammed said so when he was living in the arid lands with bedouins. That does not apply today. We have nations, we have laws in those nations etc. Remember Osama is also trying to imitate Mohammed's lifestyle (just the bedouin piece)

...all the crimes committed in the name of islam.
It is the messenger who should pay and not the message which should be labelled as flawed.

You have said you are a Hindu, You must really love the muslims to turn on your own people but that is allowed if that is what you believe.

Indian history is replete with instance of invaders who have pilloried and plundered India. The invaders were Muslims as well as Christians. India was the crown jewel of the British empire. So what if it is also a crown jewel of a Muslim emperor also. And by the way Hindu is not a religion. It is a way of life and tolerance is one of its basic tenets.
