Quote:Don't you think 1400 years is enough time for Islam to become less murderous?
This seems like a very blinkered view of history---for maybe 700 years Islamic civilization was one of the most cultured and tolerant part of the world, responsible, for example, for the preservation of knowledge from the ancient world that was all but forgotten by what passed for civilization in Western Europe at the time. I can highly recommend reading the accounts of Ibn Battuta, a 14th century Muslim from Morocco who traveled 75,000 miles over 29 years across the entire Islamic world (as well as to Sri Lanka, China, Byzantium and Russia).
