What a moron you are. You don't have anything AGAINST Muslims, but: " It is fundamental to the religion that non-Muslims must be either converted or killed. The extremists believe it deeply enough to act on it. The Wahhabists believe it very deeply indeed. And there should be no doubt that many throughout Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Palestine, etc., take the premise seriously." Please show me this in the Koran: quod.lib.umich.edu

David, > BUT. It is fundamental to the religion that non-Muslims must be either converted or killed. I haven't really studied the Koran, but from what I've learned, the Koran is divided into two. The first part is the "religion of peace" we hear about in the mainstream media. The second part is the more extreme part, the part that was written after the world rejected the original ideas of the prophet Mohammed. Now I have no idea how Islamic theologians reconcile these self-contradictions, especially considering the chronological order of the Koran. We already see how the Islamic extremist world "reconciles" this, but what about those who don't believe in killing non-Muslims (at least not in this lifetime)? I'm not sure how things will play out, but I can only hope that it doesn't involve WWIII. Maybe the moderate Islamic theologians will finally gain more influence, or maybe the contradictions cannot be resolved and the whole religion of Islam itself will collapse, especially as the Middle East modernizes.
