Mind, no matter how you cut it Mani nailed it: It is no way Western Civilization will adopt or even bother to understand Islam, religion frozen in over 1000 year sand of Arabia, thus the gap between two civilization can never be breached, only widened, leading to confrontation...Can Islam adopt to 21 century, 22 and beyond?

As for the allegation that Islam is opposed to progress, science, and technology, this is an absolute distortion of the truth. Islam is not opposed to the pure science or technology and we would remind the West of our great scientific heritage. Islam is only opposed to science, technology and industry where it is applied in a manner contradicting Islam.

Are you sure that is in the Koran? I thought that was in the Sharia.

Re <<They either convert to Islam and pay a tax or it is permissable to murder them.>>

Wow! Just when I though your level of slander could not get any lower!

Let me ask you this, don't you think it is prudent to check your facts before making such strong statement about someone's religion?

I think it is human decency to check the facts before swinging mud.
