Seattle, you have not said "radical freaking Muslims do not exist". BUT ...
You have been insisting that the rampant, worldwide violence and barbarism of Muslims represents only an insignificant and errant
"fringe". So,
yes, you have been tacitly "saying" Islam is a "religion of peace" and overwhelmingly populated with peaceful believers. I suggest that you re-search & re-THINK your position and understand why there is so much terror inherent in Islam. First, please read (and assimilate) posts #27 & 28 where I factually establish that "the Muslim problem" goes well beyond "just" the many 10's of thousands of Islamists rabidly inflamed to personally slaughter infidels ... or even other Muslims who are "not Muslim enough".
And then consider this:
True Christianity is a religion of Forgiveness, Love and, yes, Peace. Jesus' message was to "love your enemies and to do good unto those who hate you". There are no Gospel verses in which Jesus tells His followers to slaughter non-Christians —
none! Despite that (and human nature being so damn inhuman) over the centuries, "devout" people (calling themselves Christian) have perpetrated countless acts of cruel death, destruction and depravity in the name of Jesus — acting absolutely and totally
contrary to His mandates clearly specified in the New Testament!
History has shown how all the peaceful, loving teachings of Jesus can be so terribly corrupted by so many "believers" for so long. So think, THINK about all the horrific fruit that must necessarily fall from a faithful reading of the Quran. There are well over 100 verses ("sura") in the Quran where Mohammed very explicitly condones, commands and extols the "blessed virtues" of slaughtering, beheading and mutilating non-believers. Go to:
www.TheReligionOfPeace.com/Quran/023-violence.htm
Read thru the verses/sura there and the commentary (all the way to the end) which explains and puts them in context. If you're at all capable of restraining your biases and presumptions, you will begin to grasp why & how the horrors done in the name of Mohammad and Allah are much, much more "mainstream" than you had wished to believe. Perhaps not all billion Muslims. But, at a minimum, a few 100 million ... and counting.
