I'm not under any burden of having any particular opinion about Mohammed. As a Christian I am under such a burden. Mohammed called the basis of Christianity, the death and Resurrection of Jesus, a lie. That challenge requires me to reject him as a fraud.

"I realize there are other conflicts in the world. It's just striking at so many conflicts involving Muslims around the world." I agree. I simply encourage you to be skeptical of the hate blog sites, if your interest in getting a better understanding is genuine. I'll give you a mock analogy. We teach our children the history of Early America. You can take the incident called "the Boston Tea Party" and paint a big picture of American doctrine and analyze American conflict and the character of American people from that one incident. Drunken Americans raided a Merchant ship and destroyed its contents to provoke the British who had funded their American operations and provided them with supplies. Some small skirmishes followed and eventually all out war. The results of which were that these men took the British land in America and began calling themselves the Americans. They continued this practice with the American Indians who had helped these people initially in their small settlements on the East Coast of America but the American men began torturing and slaughtering them until nearly the whole population from the coast to coast were killed in genocidal wars. Those who survived have lived for the centuries since in reserved places internment camps called reservations. Now consider this and look at how American militaries have spread around the world. What percentage of modern weaponry including weapons of annihilation like rockets, bombs, nuclear weapons, vast Air, land, and sea forces are American? They bring their drunken culture with them where ever they go and have an agenda to eventually gain control over or at a minimum Americanize every region they occupy. When you bring the Boston Tea Party up they well try to deny that it is the example they use to teach their children the value of laying waste to the property of others in order to create a justification for mass slaughter, plunder, theft and every forbidden thing known to man. Their history begins with it and has continued from the beginning until modern times to engage the rest of the world in such ways. The Boston Tea Party is in their doctrine, which is often taught to elementary school children, middle school children, and again to High Schoolers. They don't like it when you remind them of the Boston Harbor event. They try to deny it has anything to do with the violent operations they support in modern times. They even try to explain it away because their ancesters told the British they wouldn't tolerate taxes, as if we don't know every human being living under any government pays taxes to run that government. Sure some people in America are peaceful just living in a subburb, maybe they don't even get drunk. They just raise children to serve in future military operations around the world. But what can people living in those lands around the world expect from Americans in the long run? Those Americans have been doing the same thing for centuries. Do you think it will be any different now. And when have you heard Americans condemning the evil doctrine of the Boston Tea Party? Ok, I picked an unlikely, relatively obscur event in American history and made a mockery of how it could be used to frighten ignorant people outside the culture in modern times, and further to characterize American doctrine and Americans as evil, refusing to consider the full picture and ignoring the circumstances under which the genuine history of the Boston Tea Party is justified. Stupid, bigoted, Anti-American, and hateful idea huh? I think so. Easy to do though if that is your purpose, is it a fair and just characterization of American doctrine and American Character? Not even close. Be more than skeptical, avoid the hate-blogs like you would avoid the plague.
