My Views on Muslim: I post these to let you know what I, as an individual, feel about the Muslim faith. It is not intended to be critical, only what I have learned through reading, TV broadcasts, and conversations. I definately could be wrong on all matters! Please tell me if I am wrong. 1) Muslims have historically destroyed vs. built societies. 2) Muslims have historically hated and killed Jews. 3) Muslims have historically treated women like 2nd class citizens. (i.e., Why 72 virgins?) 4) Muslim states (except for Turkey) do not stand up and critize these outrageous acts (WTC). They kill each other and anyone else that interferes with their agenda. 5) The Muslim faith is built on war. 6) I know of no Muslim that has been a positive influence in the world. (has any Muslim developed a patents; assisted in peace solving; developed an invention, etc.) 7) Muslims are not tolerant of others. (Saudi Arabia does not allow other religious beliefs to be practiced.) As you can see, I have nothing positive to state about the Muslim faith. I know of no Muslim person that has had a positive influence in the history of mankind. Based upon my understanding of the Muslim faith, the people are uneducated, racists, and violent. I wish my opinions and thoughts were different. But I haven't seen/heard/read anything that indicates otherwise. I would welcome any thoughts to correct my ignorance.
