Much of it is misinterpreted.

If I wanted to spread fear I would just tell you to read these books.

I'm not attempting to misinterpret the present. Fundamentalist Islam is a problem in the world today that threatens lives, especially those of Americans and Western Europeans. I don't see an obvious solution to the problem and I still don't buy the argument that Islam is inherently more violent or intolerant than any other faith, regardless of what those books might say.

I have to be honest and admit that I have not read any of them but I also have to say that all it takes to get a book published is for it to be provocative and therefore marketable. It doesn't mean that its true or that it isn't biased or misleading.

The Islam faith has not progressed through the ages as say Christianity hence it has its extremists. They take their holy scriptures literally when religions need to be updated.

I agree to a point. Part of the problem is within Islam itself; it needs to be reformed somehow to discourage fundamentalist interpretation of the Koran. Remember though, Catholic masses were given in a dead language that none of the lay people understood until Vatican II in the sixties. Religions tend to take time to change and I'm inclined to wait rather than to disparage the Muslim religion.

but hey you had your fundamentalist Christians with the crusades and the Spanish Inquisition.
some people say that zionist are fundalmentalist jews
and now you got fundalmentalist muslims... i says its just the flavour the day.
You have to go back hundreds of years to make the comparison between the two? Why not talk modern?

what i meant was to say crazy muslims are the flavour ...of the century

HAHA,

I was listening to an ex Muslim woman the Daily Show and she was saying "no Muslims question the Islamic faith like Christians have over time."

Not too many people can say the 100% of the Christian bible is relevant today. Things like stoning people, touching the skin of a dead pig etc is no longer relevant.

I am not sure how long ago the Qur'an was written but sure a lot of it is no longer relevant and can be updated?

It's time for Qur'an 2.0.

Does anybody think that Islam will have a reformation anytime soon? It seems that anyone who speaks out about radical islam gets death threats.

I recall 2 authors on the Stephen Cobert show...but couldn't find their names to cite here.

I'm sure if Islam had become the norm in western Europe a few hundred years ago and Christianity had caught on in the middle east then today everything would be exactly the same now.

here is quotes from the bible and look how simple it is for me to accuse the Bible as being evil too.

Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

Exodus 22:20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

Luke 19:27 "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." -Jesus Christ

Matthew 10:34 "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." -Jesus Christ

2 John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Romans 1 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Actually, much of Islam is focused on peace and serenity. If you study it for what it truly is, and not what you hear about it, it's a beautiful religion.

Read Life of Pi. Although fiction, what it has to say of Islam is true.
