I do agree with you. I think that the danger isn't with Islam itself, but with those whose fervor shakes our own inadequacies and fecklessness to the core.

I hope you don't mind my jumping in. Do you believe Islam itself is a religion of peace? I'm not trying to play "gotcha". I believe Islam was founded by Mohamed as he was guided by Satan.

Don't mind it at all.

I have four points you might consider.
1. Most of Islam is a knockoff of Judaism and Christianity. Muslims greatly respect both of those religions and the "People of the Book."

2. No, Islam isn't the religion of peace. Mohammad never said it was. "Islam" means "submission to God." It doesn't mean "peace" and never did.

3. People make war; religions don't. If you believe Satan guided Mohammad, then he guided him using the Old and New Testaments. I don't believe Satan guided Mohammad at all. I don't even speculate.
I do know that many wars and much evil are started in the name of religion, as we see in those insane imams who advocate suicide bombers, but that's all hypocrisy and I truly believe that hypocrisy, especially religious hypocrisy, is guided by Satan.
There have been holy people since the beginning of time who have talked gullible people into dying for their particular purposes. THEY were guided by Satan.

4. I don't listen to and observe those evil imams and then believe that THEY represent the billion+ Muslims in the world. That would be like condemning the religion of Catholicism and ALL its priests for the sins of a relatively few evil pederast priests.

No "gotcha" intended here either.
