Ok, we can't agree on that. It is just my opinion that you know nothing about Islam. Do you even know the most basic Islamic principles as clearly stated in Koran? I know little about Islam; have never read the Koran; have never practiced Islam. For that matter, I was raised a Christian and know little about Christianity. I can only base my statements on the obvious. While there are, no doubt, peaceful sects of Islam, it is clear that a huge minority if not a majority tolerate, even demand, these suicide bombings. This, taken alone, is sufficient to characterize the religion as "violent". The concept of martyrdom for these murderers is further evidence. Now, for those who practice a peaceful form of Islam and speak out against these random killings, I have no complaint. But Islam is going to continue to take the heat for these killings until we hear Islamic leaders in the MidEast strongly condemn them. Would you argue that Islam IS NOT THE CAUSE of these problems?
