However, once people start learning about Islam and really dive into what Quran and the other Islamic teachings (such as the book of Hadith) say, no one in his/her right mind would accept Islam as anything but a manipulative cult with evil hidden inside it

Of course this is not how everyone would see it. I agree with you with all my heart, but there are over 1 billion people in the world that do not.

Most of my Islamic neighbors have more American flags on their houses and cars than the rest of the general population. I imagine the American flag has a completely different meaning to me than it does to them!

Addi,

I have contemplated your statement listed below. And I came to the conclusion that people who have absolutely no understanding of, or willingness to understand some very basic American beliefs, they do not belong in this country.

Regretfully and as is the case, Americans tend to respect novelties such as human rights, freedom of expression, liberty and justice and the fundamental principal of "a person is innocent until proven guilty". These are the concepts that the Islamic world has absolutely no understanding of, or the willingness to understand!
