The way to religious tolerance is through a billboard - or at least that's the idea behind a display for tens of thousands of commuters in North Dallas each day.
It's not a question a lot of people ask themselves on the way to work. But there it is, hanging above westbound LBJ Freeway near Webb Chapel: "Why Islam?"
The sign also offers a Web site address and a toll-free phone number in New Jersey.
"When the call comes in, it transfers to the team of volunteers," said Adnan Fyed of the Islamic Circle of North America. "And those volunteers they will call you back and they pick up the phone at the same time."
"Why Islam?" is a program run by the Islamic Circle of North America to educate anyone who wants to know about the religion. The website offers information on Allah, pilgramages and even audio lectures.
Visitors can also watch a slide show on Ramadan, and are invited to visit a mosque. There's even a chatroom.
"If you go and become a member of the forum, you can go and ask whatever questions you have," Fyed said.
The chat room addresses such topics as suicide bombings, and hating Christians.
With so many hostile ideas out there, the effort aims to help provide the truth about the religion.
The packed parking lot for Friday services at the Islamic Center of Irving shows how much the faith is growing in North Texas. Now with the hotline and the website, members of the community hope to get out the word concerning what Islam is all about.
How symptomatic that the first thing to be dropped is the koran *grin*
Where is General Pershing to clean up this mess? (rhetorical question)
I'm telling you, we have to laugh to keep from crying.
Just like the one 9-11 terrorist. He lived in Florida for a long time. Wore suits to work, had a wife and kids. Belonged to the PTA. A regular joe.
Then, he got 'the call,' and he flew to Boston. And the rest is history.
I know all of the Muslim's in America aren't terrorists, but when they come across the borders in droves, what better place to find refuge then in a Mosque? All large families have their black sheep.
Throw them in the sea and watch them swim home to Arabia.
Right, but we don't need their sheep
<< Islam is only "tolerant" and "peaceful" [In accordance with its definitions, not Merriam-Webster's] so long as you agree with and submit to its dictates. >>
And even then, if you're a young girl or woman, it'll rape you until you're either pregnant or dead or both -- either after or before slashing off your clitorus and internal and external labia.

I think this thread will be of interest in view of the fatwa issued in Spain last week.
Taqiyya...........lying to the Infidels.
"I know all of the Muslim's in America aren't terrorists"
No SheLion, all muslims are not Active terrorists.
The rest are keeping a low profile and biding their time.
They are waiting for the jihad to end all jihads...then they will partake in the spoils of war.
I know. But I am afraid the black sheep are here.
From all previous threads, they really are here among us.
...just another circumstantial lie; don't let yourself blinded by it
All I can do is pray and hold on for the ride.
"All I can do is pray and hold on for the ride."
Yes we are praying mightily and holding on tightly.
It is well to make sure our homes are strongly secured for what is coming.

"Why I left Islam", by Dr. Ali Sina
"...the real Islam is not what its philosophers and mystics have inferred but what is in the Quran and that is the Islam of the fundamentalist and the terrorist. The real Islam is the Islam that abuses women, that allows men to beat their wives, that imposes penalty tax on the religious minorities, that wants to dominate the world by subduing all the non-Muslims, that calls for Jihad and killing the non-believers until Islam becomes the only dominant religion of the World*.""The enemy is Islam and that is the target of my attacks. I do that, despite knowing that I have become the magnet of the hatred of fanatical Muslims and my own life could be in danger.
Yet I know that by eradicating Islam we can save the world from the dangers of a catastrophe that otherwise is looming over our heads and could cause more disaster than the 1st and 2nd World Wars combined."
Islamic terror based on Qu’ran: ex-CIA official
"A former top official of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency paints a menacing picture of the relationship between Islam and terrorism.
"Islamic terrorism is based on Islam as revealed through the Qu’ran," keynote speaker Bruce Tefft claimed in a panel discussion at the University of Toronto on jihad and global terrorism.
And, he added, "There is no difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism, which is a totalitarian construct..."
According to Tefft, the Qu’ran enjoins Muslims to believe that the whole world should be governed by the principles of Islam*, an expansionist religion that has historically grown through conquest..."
-- Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998
The difference is that such individuals and organizations go against the commandments of their holy book, while Muslims that do not lie, deceive and spread Islam by the bloody sword go against theirs. 
I hate talking about it, but if we don't talk about it, we are just burying our heads in the sand. I believe a lot of American's have fallen back to sleep since 9-11 as it is.
Well said.
Uh, let me take a stab at this one.......Nazis, maybe?
