Good to see that there is not religious animosity here. Are you trying to point out that there is no underlying hatred of Islam, while espousing that same hatred? What a self defeating argument.
When a cult teaches nothing but hate, directed against "infidels," why would any practitioner of such a cult expect anything different in return? I had no problem with islam before 9-11. I know better now. How much respect would Al-Qatami show the Bible or Torah? No, I don't want to hear any whining about how islam is not understood, how it should be respected, how we should all be tolerant. NO! islam needs to show some tolerance and stop killing people over what they believe.

Oh, we certainly DO have a high level of animus toward the P.R.O.P.* {Phony Religion Of Peace}, and will reserve the right...
Until islam will collectively renounce its stance on: women's rights (or rather the extremely pronounced lack thereof),
their plagiaristic, paedophiliac false prophet who inaccurately lifted (on a wholesale basis) the basis for his "religion" from Persian Zoroastrianism, the Jewish Torah, Christianity, and Arab peninsular pagan pantheism,
their historically demonstrated propensity for spreading their death-cult via war, stealth, and political intrigue...
...I believe we are well within our reasonable bounds to hate islam itself in general - and to take its practitioners on a case-by-case basis, contingent upon their words and deeds.
That does not a self-defeating argument make - especially given the P.R.O.P.'s stated goal of taking control of the White House, and transforming the U.S. into a 6th century islamic state, dominated by imams, mullahs, and Sharia law.

I never claimed to not harbor bad feelings towards Islam. From nearly everything I've seen regarding Islam, it is one of the worst influences the World has ever known. And the people whom I've known personally that followed Islam never impressed me as what I would call "grownups."
I wouldn't give a hoot if every Muslim in Mecca burned The New Testament, because it's just so much paper. Nothing can change what's on the inside, and burning a million copies would only serve to combine carbon and oxygen. Nor would I give a hoot if someone left a Koran on my doorstep and it happened to be disposed of in a manner that disagreed with a poster here on FR or anyone else.
Can't speak for others. I simply noticed the hypocrisy of it all-- the knee-jerk reflexism- cum victim status of CAIR frothing at the mouth that their customs have been raped yet again-- if only the world would understand them for the sweet wonderful people that they are -- when in all reality no crime was committed. The FBI need not be involved. Will an apology be forthcoming to this slur on all non-Islamic Americans, I wonder?
