...if Islam is by it's nature such a violent and hateful religion, how come so many of the 1.2 billion Muslims in the world are chilling out while their brothers and sisters are being tortured and murdered? Seriously, a violent and hateful religion by it's very definition should inspire violent and hateful reactions by a whole bunch of them, perhaps 50%, or 600 million people. We don't see that. Okay then, a violent and hateful religion should by it's definition inspire at least a big chunk of them to retaliate with violence and hatred, or perhaps 10%, or 120 million people. We don't see that either.We don't seem to remember that most of these people wanted to send their kids to America for a better education. Seriously. They don't hate our "values", and the average middle-eastern DVD and CD collection quickly reveals that lie.
