I have a question for the person who's religion is muslim - Does it say in your book, the quran, that everyone whom is not a muslim must be killed?
Are you an American now and if you should kill other muslims will your GOD not like this? Is it in the quran about killing other muslims?
Are you as upset about isis as other Americans or do you feel like they are doing your GODS work.
Just wondering about your religion because I have lived all my life in a Christian nation.

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. I being a believer in the GOD of Abraham is a person that should be frightened of muslims. Why would American muslims be any different when they all go by the same book? Please someone enlighten me as this is all very frightening.

I think Sophie that you are right. But fortunately in this case all people do not follow the letter of the law in the practice of their faith.

I think that MOST people take the things that they like from the philosophy that they follow and disregard the things that they don't like.

To be very devout in your faith can make you to be like both Mother Teresa or Osama Bin Laden or that man somewhere in Florida, the minister who burnt the Quran. To be devout means a myriad of things to a lot of people.

I don't know how most Muslims think. I don't know how most Christians thing and I don't know how most Jews think, but I do know how ISIS thinks and I know how I think.

Besides the usual back and forth what caught my attention is when a Muslim took umbrage at a photo of an overflow crowd praying outside their house of worship being portrayed in a negative way and then being badgered does not seem what Americans are all about.

There was a lot about it in the news. It wasn't outside their church. Here is a picture of it happening in Paris.

GG, Just go back and look at the picture you posted. Above the entrance it says "Mosquee Adda 'wa which is in Paris.

Why not directly ask a Muslim leader the question? Take a couple of friends and visit the Islamic Center in Clermont which is about a 45 minute drive from The Villages.

I know we're a little off topic but here is a famous clogged street photo from 100 years ago.

Yes, either you have faith in your religion or you pick and choose what you like.
Jesus is the way the TRUTH and the life. Mother Teresa never killed anyone and her life on earth made a better planet.
The truth is we are a Christian nation - how many Christian churches are in our cities, towns and rural roads of America?

On the subject of Islamic terrorists, and other countries, CNN just reported that Al Qaeda is saying they are planning to go to India.

India is predominantly Hindu, a very peaceful religion.

Is THIS what we're supposed to sit like fools and wait for in our streets and tunnels?

Is THIS what we'll allow to show our gratitude to all the veterans and active military who've sacrificed life and limb for our freedoms?

Just like BarryRX. I have perimeters to my beliefs. I don't want to be sucked into a hate movement, I want to be AWARE of what is happening now and try to digest it.

If we start to argue religion, we get off focus of what is happening. The goal of ISIS is to kill all people who do not think like them. Al Qaeda is just as opposed to us. And so is Hamas. They are extreme and we are their target.

That is one way to think of it.
