So the prophet Muhammad wasn't a warrior and led 77 offensive battles in which he slayed and gloried in the killing of non-believers and non-conformers? And condones the killing of non-Muslim believers?
If I'm wrong I'd be happy to listen i.e to MetalHead, obviously he interprets it moderately. But I believe it is still there in the Koran stating such acts.
Hence the reason of killing Bin Laden won't quell other orthodox Islamics, the followers of the faith are not listening to one man like him. As MH said they are on their own, splinter cells, separate entities, their guidance and belief comes from the Koran.
It's not like killing Adolf Hitler and the German army surrendering. The German's (most of followed Hitler's ideals) certain Islamics follow the Koran's ideals, not Bin Laden's.
I'd be interested in your views of Christianity.
Christianity led three crusades into Jerusalem that results in the massacres of many innocent men, women and children. Additionally it speaks of the destruction of the wicked. Wicked implying anyone who isn't a Christian believer.
Islam does have more elements of religious militancy that Chriostianity but the vast majority of Muslims do not interpret that as the norm for life.
The problem I see you falling into is stereotyping. You argue that because the Koran uses violent rhetoric and there have been instances of religious terrorism that ALL Muslims and and ALL of Islam must be extremists. Whereas that couldn't be further from the truth.

Kenny you ain't gonna win this one. You can't say ALL or anything are bad. There are good muslems, bad muslems, there are good catholics, bad catholics. Muhammed was a warrior, but so were half of the old testement.
Ask a Jehovahs witness what will happen to you even if you are a good person but are not with them, you will go to hell.
Go to a church of jesus christ sermon and see what they are like. I went to one, a woman had lost a baby about a day after giving b birth, she said the baby was in hell as it wasnt christened or whatever possibly. The whole sermon were cheering, as was she, it was mental.
I have muslem freinds who are the nicest people in the world. To band them all together is just naieve and uneducated. If you read the Koran (I'm no expert but know my stuff) then you will know there are different translations, as there are with all holy books.
According to the Westboro Baptist Church, God is a mean mofo, and that aint true...

I maintain Islam isn't a peaceful religion as it states the killing if non-believers & conformists. What or how Muslim people do with it is a different matter. There are millions of moderate Muslims, there are extremists too but these extremists are orthodox, carrying out everything the Koran preaches.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M IMPLYING NOW?

Obviously you haven't read any of my recent posts, thus you're too eager to catergorise me, before actually having some kind of ''sensible'' discussion, which invariably means you're the tool Mr ''SouthCoastShankly'' lol
I'm not excusing or denying any of Christianities short comings and won't deny it. But what you can't seem to get your PC head around is, Jesus forgives thy enemy or something along those lines and doesn't tell followers to kill non-conformists, the Koran does. Do you get my point now or are you still on that pedestal of yours?
