Quote:Bull, Muslims have behaved this way against any and all rival religions and cultures consistently for 1,300 years. This isn't something that just happened since 2010, 2001, 1982 or 1946, it's always been this way because it's an innate and unchangeable pillar of the religion. It will always be this way unless they have a major reformation though that seems unlikely.

Personally, I have found a great deal of inspiration in Muslim writings, as I have in other religious writings by those such as Theresa of Avila or St John of the Cross. I have found nothing of your "innate and unchangeable violence" in them. I will also note that some members and sects in the Muslim community were far more progressive towards members of other faiths, and women in general, hundreds of years before Christians. So I am not sure about what you are talking. If it is the Shia-Sunni divide, yeah, that has been some pretty violent stuff, as was the Protestant-Catholic violence Christians have experienced. But I am not seeing anything innately more violent or expressionistic than actions take by those of other faiths. Maybe you could elaborate.
