Sorceror to be beheaded

[--Pete]

Hi,

6) The primary tenet of Islam is to practice jihad* against the infidels until the entire world is Islamic.

* By jihad, I mean the definition of the word in the Koran as a "struggle against infidels" (jihad al-kuffaar). This is done with law, pressure, or by force when necessary.

All the rest are, pretty much, trivial. This one is the crux of the matter. Unfortunately, spreading Islam and Islamic law to all nations, and treating non-Muslims as second class people is so fundamental and so ingrained that it probably cannot be excised. It is that attitude that makes Islam so dangerous now, just like it made Christianity so dangerous fifteen hundred years ago.

One would think that, with time and proximity, there would come tolerance. Then one looks at the Balkans and loses hope.

Damn, I liked your other post better. It lifted my spirits.
