Do we really care, as non Muslims all that much, that is, within the context of what we have to deal with and confront? Do rational people honestly worry about the Muslims next door down the street in Boise, Toronto or Peoria? Or are we simply giving more credence to rednecks and retards than they are due? See, non Muslims don't really know or care much what it does or does not assert in Quran. All they know is what they think is a touchpoint for all the things they fear and hate. Someone told them its in Quran they repeat that to their friends. Soon everyone states it's in Quran. Big deal. Whether it is or not isn't going to change their bigotry.
In the Islamic countries there is no monolithic structure that most Westerners think. there is a lot of common factors between the Christian fundamentalists in the US, or their Jewish counterparts in Israel, or their Islamic counterparts in the Middle East - however - within all these regions there are different class forces - with different and conflicting class interests - there is not one large, amorphous bunch of people with some overriding fundamentalist dogma. Projecting that so-called clash of civilizations makes things easy to make war - to deceive people - to spread mass fear and ignorance.
In the end it is about getting along. No one here is going to change the world - no one will ever eradicate religion from human civilization. Those of you so vehemently attacking Islam (while defending Christianity, which is a laugh) are not wrong, not unjustified in your stance - you are just irrelevant.
ALL religions include violence and peace, hate and love, anger, fear, retribution, and a sense of superiority, because ALL people include these traits in their human nature. You may not be wrong in what you say - that Islam has foundations on violence and political power struggles - but that does not mean that you are right about everything. Being that we have had, and will always have, religion as an integral part of society and civilization - what good does your railing against one religion or the other do?
These posters, railing against Islam, are here, hidden among us all, pretending to be rational, or reasonable. You cause as much fear as a Mohammed Atta, because like him, you're trying to pretend you fit into decent society, but inside, harbor deep, festering hatred, and hope for aggressive, even violent solutions to change things to the way you want them.
People who refer to "Islamofascism" display their prejudice and ignorance all at once. Islamic fundamentalism is Internationalist in character vs. the extreme Nationalism of Fascism. Also Islamic Fundamentalism lacks the other characteristic of Fascism the fusion of the Corporate and Political spheres.
