the myth out there that Islam is a peaceful religion. And who are you to judge this a myth?

What advanced degrees in religious studies and theology do you have to breath out accusations with such ease?

All of a sudden so many people have become experts in religion, especially of others --- religions of which they knew not a word just last summer. Shame on you. To accuse someone without a due cause is not Christian.

Go do some studying beyond plucking out a few quotes from Quran before you start throwing around judgements like that!

This is a free country, Mr. Islamist-defender. He's an American, and he has the right to voice his observations.

"What advanced degrees in religious studies and theology do you have to breath out accusations with such ease?"

Get real. It doen't take degrees in aeronautical engineering and architecture to recognize the fact that your islamic friends attacked my country on 9/11.

Frankly, at this stage of the game, the onus is upon he who asserts that islam is a "peaceful religion".

No, shame on you. How shameful for an islamist advocate to stand in judgement of a Christian -- specifically a Christian who is being attacked for having stated the obvious.

One need study little more than a newspaper these days, to realize that islam is rife with violence.

SweetLiberty posted an extensively documented article on Islam. If you wish to point out where that article was wrong, please do so. Even better, provide equivalent information proving the peaceful nature of Islam. Either way, we would all like to read an intelligent response from an informed defender of Islam.

However, to defend Islam simply by attacking a person who questions it is no defense at all. On the contrary, it strengthens the suspicion that a legitimate defense is not possible.

BTW, it should be obvious, but I'll point it out anyway: To claim that Islam has been accused without due cause is absurd. Shame on you (your words).

Thus far you have only hurt your cause. If you wish to defend Islam in a legitimate way, I look forward to reading your defense.

I think that it is very easy to judge Islam. Take a look at the countries where Islam is in the majority!! There is no peace there. Repressive goverments must suppress the religion and keep it from governing (Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria..)or it governs with repression of the people and the brutality of the Dark Ages (Afghanistan, Iran, Saudia Ariabia etc...). It is our duty to learn and keep evil far from us.

As a matter of fact I have had quite a bit of training and education and spent 2 years in seminary. I began studying comparative religion 25 years ago, so I'm not just tapping into the headline of the day and running with it. Perhaps you should not automatically make that assumption.
