There is a huge problem with some Muslims

Right... "some" ... like entire countries full of them (and not just a couple of small ones, as I have shown with the PEW data). These are countries where the majority of the general population is OK with cutting off limbs for stealing, stoning people to death for adultery, etc. Let me repeat that: The population is OK with these things.

Slimer
And anyone who is OK with these kinds of things should remain in that country and leave the West alone.

Snit
I think those societies are immoral... but that does not mean ALL Muslims back these things. In polls too many do. No argument here. But I do not back painting all Muslims with one brush, any more than I back painting all Christians with one brush.

Fact: It doesn't matter what any book says or doesn't say, what matters are the actions of people *today*.

Slimer
Agreed. Doing the right thing without any expectation of reward is the way to go.

Snit
I do not think this fact he states in in any debate.

Steve Carroll
Fact: *Today* Islam still has a lot of issues that Christianity has either already worked through or never had in the first place.

Slimer
Agreed.

Snit
This is unsupported.

People of both religions do a lot of evil things.

Steve Carroll
Fact: Way too many Muslim countries *are* practicing outdated civil rights 'laws' don't line up with the civil rights laws they agreed to when they joined the United Nations.

Slimer
Absolutely.

Snit
Agreed. Of course, this is also true of some predominantly Christian nations, too.
