I will think about it.

I want to thank well-meaning non-Muslims who, in the
wake of these attacks, have emphasised that they have
been carried out by a small, twisted minority. A
terrorist's goal is to sow hatred and discord, and by not
giving in, you are defeating their plans.
But I want to say that as a Muslim, I wish that we
weren't so quick to emphasise that this has nothing to do with us. While I personally have never killed anyone and none of my friends and family have ever resorted to
violence, radicalism has everything to do with Islam. And
the failure to address that out of a well-intentioned
commitment to tolerance is making the problem worse.
ISIS is a Muslim organisation, and it is an Islamic
problem. Let me say it again to be perfectly clear. ISIS is
a Muslim organisation, and they are a cancer at the
heart of Islam. And the problem will not go away until
Muslims confront that.
ISIS attackers scream 'Allah hu'akbar' during their
attacks.
ISIS recruits cite Qur'anic verses as justification for the
rape and enslavement of women.
ISIS soldiers kill archaeologists, gay men and women,
and people who refuse to convert to Islam because they
are blasphemers.
There are no Christians in ISIS. There are no Buddhists,
Jews, Pagans, Taoists, Houngans, Catholics, Wiccans,
Hindus or even Scientologists in ISIS. ISIS is a Muslim
organisation and they kill in the name of Islam.
So don't say that ISIS aren't 'true Muslims' or that they
are 'not really Muslims'. Like any large organisation, ISIS
exists in a spectrum. You have the aimless, restless
teenager who never amounted to anything in his life
and traveled to Syria because he can't find a job and
doesn't know if the Qur'an is to be read from left to right
or right to left. But you also have pious professionals,
businessmen, and academics who read their Qur'an cover
to cover, pray every day, were seduced into radicalism,
and truly believe that the Islamic State's goal of conquest
is a noble one. The so-called 'Caliph' Abu Bakr Al-
Baghdadi has a doctorate in Islamic studies.
So if you feel that Muslims are being oppressed or killed
in Muslim countries, I expect you to also be just as
outraged by ISIS. Because they have killed more Muslims
in Iraq, Syria and Jordan than the entire US army. They
have done more damage to the name and reputation of
Islam than any Western nation. ISIS is Islam's biggest
enemy, not the US, not Israel or France or Germany or
the Russians.
We have to own the problem. We have to admit that this
is a religious problem, and we need to renew our
commitment to a secular country which treats all
religions equally. I have believed in the importance of
secularism all my life, and with every day that passes
that belief grows stronger. Religion is no way to govern a
nation. Not any religion, and not any nation.
ISIS is not America's problem, nor the British, nor the French. ISIS is not Syria or Iraq's problem. ISIS is a
problem for Muslims. And if you can't admit that, you're
not really a good Muslim either.

So , it follows that Christian nations should not welcome islamic refugees

Thank you for being honest. I really need something cleared up as well. Does the Koran really encourage the killing of "infidels" and those who leave the faith?

Even my dog knows they will never do that

An eye for an eye or the code of hammurabi was solely meant to serve as a means of justice for those who had been wronged to take matters into their own hands and not against innocent persons who hadn't committed any wrong. Eventually though, God's Son, Jesus Christ from whom the teachings of Christianity flowed from, said in Matthew 5:39 not to resist (or fight) the one who is wicked but to turn the other cheek if he slaps you and in Luke 10:27 admonished that we should love our neighbor as ourselves, using the good samaritan as an illustration to show that we should treat those who are not of the same faith with kindness. . Please do tell me, does Islam honestly encourage the same? Or better still can you show me a verse in the Koran where Mohammed said to love those of a different faith and to live in peace amongst them?
