Also here is something that most people mistake about islam is that "Islam hates other religions" for this I say, Islam does not hate ANY religion

My religion is drawing cartoons of Religious figures having dirty nasty sex with pankakes, a buffalo and Paris Hilton. When I do so for Allah how many Muslims will call for my death? When I do so for how many will call for my death?

The answer for the second is "almost nobody"; for the first is "a lot".

IRL I don't draw cartoons of Religious figures having sex. In fact I don't draw at all. But I love the freedom to do so about any topic that I should choose. That's freedom. If some people can't respect my freedom then f'ck them.

I think this is the problem with Islam. The religion says that it is okay to use violence against people who do not share their faith and people who leave their religion.

Granted many wars have been fought over religion however the teaching of the other religions at least preach non-violence.

That's not what Islam says. What kind of religion would condone violence?

If you follow that kind of logic, what would you consider the Crusades?

Christianity teaches that one faces enemies and adversity with the mind set that they will triumph regardless of pain. No where does it say that it's a christian's obligation to be defenseless or unwilling to do what's necessary to defend who you are, not to mention your family and country.

Crusades were a defensive reaction to the muslim attacks against byzantine empire and christians in the middle east - muslims swept through and killed zoroastrians, christians, and jews unless they converted to 2nd class slave citizens at best.

Jews and christians and other people were there for hundreds of years before muslims even existed.
