he didn't make the top 20, i was surprised at so many musicians, athletes, and american born writers/journalists.

I don't think putting two murders on your list really supports your side that islam isn't violent. Mark Kools and an SS officer? You can do better than those clowns. And rappers aren't exactly fantastic law abiding role models, either.

[Tremor14]

If the extremes have their way, you will face this question.

[Tremor14]

Yet.

That's purely up to you.

Are you confusing "aware" with "scared" or merely using this as a stepping stool towards actual conversation?
Shaming people into believing they're scared is no different than shutting down open dialogue under the guise that a differing view is racist.

**i will not touch this, because i still have a question that i am uncertain of the answer. Is this an attack on the race, or the religion. One of the main points for this post, was to say that every race can read this particular book and take it as their own interpretation.

There is no reason for anyone on this particular website to say anything against either; the race, or the religion; unless you are willing to stand behind your statements for either or.

And if you do, put it out here one time, without edits or vagueness, speak your mind.

Us moderates are being outspoken by the radicals on either side of the fence.

However...

What if we're the nonsensical dreamers, though?
What if our idea of living peacefully with everyone is actually an unattainable goal?
History has a pretty good record of always having issues with Islam/Muslim nations.
Plato was very influential in the rise of Islam.
Homer wrote about the constant turmoil in the Middle East.

However, Christianity has come a long way. Maybe there's hope.
