Is Fear of Islam unfounded?

http://iranian.com/posts/view/post/28961 The author has a set of balls for admitting Islamic crimes against the innocent, but to me, the last sentence does not imply anything except that the killing will continue, and there is no way to stop it; including talking.

QUOTE: Once again, a violent attack by Muslim extremists astounded the world, they murdered a number of innocent students in Nigeria just because they were attending school and learning what their attackers called Western education! Is this the religion whose prophet allegedly said “Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave”? I think the world have seen enough images of atrocities committed under the name of Islam: Blown-up buildings, burning cars, beheading, flogging, arresting innocent people for no reason, butchering of a British soldier in a street of London, Boston bombing, Train bombing in Madrid, fatal shooting of 13 people by army major Nidal Hassan, public executions in street, death threat against, or assassination of, writers or those who express their opinions just to name a few.

Sometimes I ask myself is this what Islam is all about?

In light of all of these, we, Muslims, keep telling others how peaceful our religion is which reminds me of that famed Wendy’s “where is the beef” commercial. Aren’t Muslim influential leaders guilty of implicit complacency by remaining silent and not publically condemning such atrocious acts or taking a firm position against them?

We may not be able to change this madness; at least we can say something about it. END OF QUOTE

Really, did a Muslim touch your bottom?

If you want to understand the underpinnings of any 'ism,' RTFB.

Mein Kampf, the Koran, the Tanakh, the Christian Scriptures, Dianetics, the Communist Maifesto, the Book of Mormon and rather a few other works are available for your perusal.

The Koran, in particular, is a compilation of quotes from a source that makes Jeffrey Dahmer look well adjusted (not that Joseph Smith was much better).

Whether your take is 'gosh, that's wonderful!' or 'gee, that sucks out loud!' it's all there in black and white (Holy Typos and redaction, too!).

I think South Park has the whole thing dialed in pretty well.
