Half of it is wrong. Allah = Christian God.
That "Submit to the Mullahs" part is wrong too. He's not instructed to marry four women. And even the Bible tells the man to lay the smackdown when the wife disobeys (old Testament). Every Muslim government is dictatorial because the US supports it because there's OIL in them thar hills.
It's an email written by a prejudiced moron, who doesn't even take the time to properly research his insults.

"The answers given to the questions are supported in the literature from the Islamic Society of Greater Kansas City, 8501 E.99th Street, KC, MO. 64134."
First of no you didnt, it's a dumb chain letter passed on by idiots. Second of all, if you replace Muslim with Christian, the half of the above text works just as well (you shall have no other gods before me.) :roll:
Interestigly enough I actually have muslim friends (even though Im Catholic by background)... how could that be? I thought muslims would cut me to pieces because of their angry god?
If you want to summarize "down south" in one ignorant article, the above would work.

Too all dorkos here...I suppose if this were something about the Paris Hilton video or Anna Nicole Smith...it would be okay..
so..the statements contained there in the post should require scrutiny, that is why I posted it...
most of you turds are so funny how easily you get on your friggin high horse...lighten up...
The only thing that "went down" was your wife, on me. What, you didn't know she was pulling a little one-on-one in addition to your "swinging"? Shame on you.
Theory: OP is testing this email here before he forwards it on to his buddies at the laundromat while they're doing the Extra Hot Water Rinse w/Bleach of their Friday Night outfits.

One dude in Saudi Arabia said you can't be a good Muslim in America.
Huh...
There are over 1 million Muslims in America, wonder what they have to say about it....

Yeah, she mentioned that, it was hard to understand her because she was laughing so hard. Something like Little, flaccid, no wonder he has nothing else in his life...has to make up for things...and that you were whining because your wife was stepping out for a real man... and that you went and huddled in the corner and wet yourself.
Bait all you want fVcko....we can go round and round if need be...however...this will be the last from me...enjoy your pathetic life....
Some of those raise interesting points, but a good number are just plain wrong (eg the one about not being able to have non-Muslim friends...not true; Muhammad worked quite closely with the Jewish community in Medina before the relationship turned sour).
If one interprets the Qur'an literally, then yes, the question is a valid one (after all, in the Qur'an it says to strike unbelievers wherever you meet them). One could say that about the Bible to some extent (though not as much b/c of the whole "render unto Ceasers what is his..." etc). The problem, in my opinion, has become somewhat more acute for Islam because of the way the Qur'an is viewed. While Christians see the Bible as God's words written by believers, Muslims see the Qur'an as the literal word of God, and therefore no room for interpretation is possible (in the Bible, it says dont wear mixed fabric for example, but Christians have interpreted that as out of date/not applicable, but it is much, much, harder, if not impossible, to do that with the Qur'an).
I think another interesting aspect is the fact that Islam, even moreso than Christianity, goes beyond being a religion and is worldview and lays out a whole body of rules/laws that inherently conflict with the notion of a separate public/private secular/religious divide that is the basis for secular Western democracies. For one example, merely look at Canada and England where there is a strong movement among Muslims to try and get the right to control some "secular" and "civil" (as seen by non-muslims) issues such as marriage, inheritance, schooling, etc.
I recommend the book "Infidel" by Ayaan Hisri Ali (Somali refugee who was a Dutch MP...she helped make the movie that got Theo Van Gogh murdered by the Islamic extremist). She deals tangentially with some of the issues raised in this email you posted, especially when it comes to Muslims and women's rights in western society.
