    Christians are followers of Jesus, who set a great example. Christians do bad things, but the ideology is peaceful. The Quran is full of hatred. If you follow hate, you will become more and more hateful. It's just the way it goes. The accusations that "all religions are the same" is simply rediculous and getting very, very old.

    I have no problem with you thinking Islam is violent if you can be a little honest about what has led you to that conclusion.

    If it wasn't for 9/11 and the events that followed you wouldn't be making any claims about Islam and reffering to the Quran. You may be right about the one billion+ muslims but would you have this view if it wasn't for the current demonisation of Islam in the media?

    I'm not saying Muslims aren't responsible for most of the terrorism in the world today, I'm just saying take a moment to look at the last 6 years of terror in perspective. Billions of people that are being painted with the same brush as the extreme minority that is attracting all the media attention.

    You have a right to be hate terrorists and those that assist terrorists but its a bit of a hefty stereotype to impose on a group of people.

    Remember when black people were all theiving retards?

    And I strongly resent that part of our past and am happy that things have changed. As to Islam, I have always known Islam is evil. And thank God, out of the actions of 9 11, people are finally talking about and examining Islam openly, and are able to see for themselves just how evil that religion is.

    I guess you have a firmly held opinion.

    Black people are no longer regarded as theiving retards but now Muslims have a tendency to be violent. This new perception/stereotype is even more crazy than the now buried black stereotype. Can you at least see where I am coming from?

    NO, if you follow a violent ideology, how can you be trusted? "Black" or "of African descent" is a race. How come libs always put race, religion, sexual orientation etc. in the same category? That is so ignorant. How do you compare a racial ethnicity to a choice someone makes? Seriously, man: get a reality check quickly, and stop yapping bogus.

    Black people at least have one common factor: black skin. Muslims do not have any common factor they all live in completely different societies all over the world and you think its smart to group them as one. Muslims in Iran and Muslims in Scotland have nothing in common apart from a few trivial habits (no pork blah).

    Most religious people don't 'choose' their religion they are groomed by parents to believe in it. Do you think Muslims go around living by the Quran? I am 100% sure you don't know any Muslims at all.

    You are judging billions of people on an extreme minority - ignorant.

    Anyway, I agree to disagree.

    If u read to the bottom - right to 'Later Research', u will c after some further research, Aisha's age was thought to be 14.

    http://www.muslim.org/islam/aisha-age.htm

    In this article, with links to further reading, demonstrates Aisha's age to be around 19 when the marriag e was consumated

    http://www.muslim.org/islam/aisha-age.htm

    I'm nost saying she was 9 or 19, only ppl of that time know, but there has also been research to prove she was not 9!!

    In those times, it was not only Phrophet Muhammed (pbuh) had numerous wives or married young women, it was the norm for Jews and Christianity aswell.

    "when people hear that the prophet had many wives they conclude without much thought that the prophet was a sensuous man. However, a quick historical review of his marriages, proves otherwise.

    When he was twenty-five years old he married for the first time. His wife, Khadijah, was fifteen years older than he. She remained the only wife of the prophet for the next twenty-five years, until she died (may Allah be pleased with her).

    Only after her death, did the prophet marry other women. Now, it is obvious that if the prophet was after physical pleasure he did not have to wait until he was more than fifty years old to start marrying more wives. He lived in a society in which it was quite acceptable to have many wives. But the prophet remained devoted to his only wife for twenty-five years. When she died she was sixty-five years old.

    His later marriages were for various reasons. Some marriages were with the view to help the women whose husbands had been killed while they were defending their faith. Others were with a view to cement relationships with devoted followers like Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. Yet others were to build bridges with various tribes who were otherwise at war with the Muslims. When the prophet became their relative through marriage, their hostilities calmed down, and much bloodshed was averted. "

    taken from http://www.anwary-islam.com/women/prophets-wives.htm

    Its obvius many of the ppl on site do not like muslims, and i respect ur opinion but because of a handful of people, please do not put the religion down!!

    If you have read the quran throroughly with the hadiths, not only a few scripts, u will realize its a peacful religion, that promotes peace!! And Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) was a peaceful man. Its also worth noting, research how the scriptures were descended and for what purpose. And read between the lines with a 'peaceful' mind and then u may understand the true meaning!!

    I meant 100 years ago when it was the common perception of black people - pointing out that generalising any vast group of people will allways be proven wrong as people learn by intergrating.

    No offence was intended buddy.

    I meant not eating pork is a trivial habit like me not eating olives because I don't like them. Just a personal preference.

    I know, why even compare a race to what Muslims are doing. It's rediculous.

    He thinks he know things, he doesn't know anything, he doesn't seek for the truth ...
    That's a problem, people doesn't explor wide enough, and then you'll see dumb posts ...

    I have 2 cousins who are half African American. I'm deeply offended when they are labelled the same as some terrorists because of the color of their skin. It sickens me when people exploit race for their own political agenda, especially when it is support of terrorists and terror.

    Muslims follow an ideology of terror. So stop writing like some doofus who can't or doesn't want to learn. Whether they actively commit terror or not is a personal choice. They are all following or pretending to follow the same ideology however.
