On another hand there are way more terrorist acts done by Muslims than members of other religions, and I doubt that it's just a case of their attacks getting more media coverage.
here's the thing: lets set aside what i said. lets pretend we know nothing. dont you think that they wouldn't be out there if muhammad had said to be patient with people of other faith, and to love everybody? it has to come from somewhere right? that is why they kill in the name of allah and muhammad.
I don't really understand what this paragraph means exactly. What do you mean set it all aside and pretend we know nothing? I'm not following. In the latter part are you saying that Muhammad instructed all Muslims to kill people who don't share their beliefs? I don't think you are qualified to make that statement as you have already admitted your ignorance of the Koran. Now I don't think I'm an authority on the subject either as I haven't read the book, but I do try to maintain a fair viewpoint.
