    First of all I must say I am a US citizen born in Christianity and converted to Islam!! Other than some of the strange remarks to this post about clothing and culture I have found this; Islam and the countries that practice it have a far less violent recent history the last 100 years than the those who consider themselves christian, communist, jewish and or democratic. List the large wars and large stockpiles of massive destructive war machines and materials. Literally 1000's and 1000's of war ships, planes, and armies. List the Big wars and the main participants and suppliers and users of killing equipment (WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, Korea, etc) Most of the recent wars in the areas where Islam is dominant have been more or less localized, mainly because the only real so-called dangerous Islamic countries are still reliant on the Christian west to supply them with war making (affectionately called defensive by the manufacturers) materials from AR 15 rifles, fighter jets, cruise missles etc. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a US or western (so-called christian) leader coming out of church on Sunday afternoon and authorizing the dropping of bombs on Sunday evening. Islam has it's issues but the countries and people that practice it may have some terrorists and anarchists in their midst but their means to make war are limited. 1,000,000,000 muslims have done a lot less damage in this world than the few million US christians have.-- And we haven't even started talking about environmental and economic exploitation.---Just a counter view to put on the other side of the scale..

    I have thought about this topic long and hard in an attempt to find anything remotely positive about Islam but have decided to draw a veil over it...

    My mother taught me that if I have nothing nice to say, I shouldn't say anything at all.

    XJW4EVR, seems like you have learned many things from the bible, following Rabshakeh’s example that is!

    You shouldn't be as suspicious of a person that has converted and gave some thought into the beautiful tenants of a religion before converting, than someone who was just brought in a told what to believe. I'm not here to challenge the validity of any of the world's great religions, good and bad doctrines and people in all from atheism to buddhism and all in between. My reason was this, "it's beauty, the strength and courage of the true believers along with the fact that it just scares the hell out the small minded westerners that are afraid and baffled by anything that is different than what they know".(smile) Sort of like believing that someone is stupid because they can't read english, so let's mock it with one liners. Oh, and by the way, virgins really don't appeal to me that way, regardless to what you have been taught...
