Before 9-11, I, as most Americans, had very little incentive to concern myself with "Muslim Affairs". Since then, and after reading extensively just what most Muslims believe, I have come to the conclusion that the Muslim community overall was better off for that lack of scrutiny. What I have learned from looking at their professed beliefs is that no true believing Muslim can ever be the friend of a "Non-Believer". It's in the Koran. Check it out for yourself. Muslims do not have the freedom to change their religion without fear of a death penalty being levied against them. This is the very definition of ternary. No religion can claim legitimacy when it's members are coerced under penalty of death to practice it.

ternary
\Ter"na*ry\, a. [L. ternarius, fr. terni. See Tern, a.] 1. Proceeding by threes; consisting of three; as, the ternary number was anciently esteemed a symbol of perfection, and held in great veneration.
2. (Chem.) Containing, or consisting of, three different parts, as elements, atoms, groups, or radicals, which are regarded as having different functions or relations in the molecule; thus, sodic hydroxide, NaOH, is a ternary compound.
I was following you up to that point.

No religion can claim legitimacy when it's members are coerced under penalty of death to practice it.Interesting footnote is that in almost all countries that are predominantly Muslim today the people were converted by force. The Koran or the scimitar, or by heavily taxing the non-Muslims, forcing poor people into the mosques. Basically "Pakistan" used to be India and the people were Hindus, until their ancestors were put to the sword. Very few Muslims have been converted by reason or a heart change.
