Most of the responses on this thread are a good example of why FR detractors are able to portray this site as hate filled and FReepers as bigots.

So you're saying it's wrong for me to be bigoted against a bunch of people who say they're commanded by God to either convert, enslave, or kill me?

Why I had no idea how closed minded I was being. Thanks for pointing up the error of my ways.....

Yea, that's sarcasm by the way.

For about 1500 years Christianity pretty much held the same beliefs. Eventually cooler heads prevailed and most saw the error/hypocrisy in this position/policy.

But the portions of the Bible that the held out as justification for torturing and murdering hundreds of thousands, if not millions, are still there. The difference in the two was how one intepreted it.

Do you believe every single one of the one billion muslims in the world want to enslave and kill you? (I left out conversion because there is nothing illegal about trying to convert someone).
