Did you put this extensive knowlege "A large practicing" group of muslims from your life in Huston TX?
As point of fact, the opposet of what your saying is actualy true. Read the Koran,~snip~
I have.
@doubtingthomas Said
it obhors violence. Just like the bible does. But that doesn't stop people from taking selected quotes and twisting thier meanings.
Try to look at the bigger picture...
Attempting to compare the bible vs the Koran, purely Christian acts of terrorism vs Islamic acts of terror in present day is a fruitless endeavor because there is no comparison.
@doubtingthomas Said
Would you say the church Jim Johnes founded is a good representation of Christianty? I'm thinking no.
That is an example of a single extremist, no better than playing the Timothy McVeigh card, another loner.
@doubtingthomas Said
Well the Koran has just as many factions and strange interpretations.
Again, you are missing the point and my major concern. I repeat Islam is not a back seat driver and considers itself the endall be-all definitive ideology with all others being literally-inferior. As well as all non-Muslims.
@doubtingthomas Said
Now unless you have sort of degree in the history of the Koran or are a student of all sects of the Koran... I don't think you have any grounds to say what "a large group" of islam is thinking at any given time.
LOL - don't need a degree in religions to read and comprehend factual accounts of Islamic cruelty, expansion, riots, burnings , so-called "honor killings, be-headings, stonings, canings, wife beatings, forced conversions, and most dangerous of all-duplicity by Muslims.
The Muslim population in Britain has grown by more than 500,000 to 2.4 million in just four years, according to official research collated for The Times.

Islam is a very political ideology with a singular goal.
Lawsuit after lawsuit here in the US has unfortunately been won by Muslims currying special treatment in the American workplace.
Sadly, they're actually winning these frivolous and discriminatory lawsuits against their employers because of a climate of political correctness gone quite mad.
I'll leave you with two words. Sharia Law.
