FFS... as sensible, reasonable, and rational as I try to be, things like this make it very hard to come across that way when I offer any response.
Regardless of what anyone in their particualr faith may say, 'true' Muslim followers are hate filled warmongers because their religion dictates as much. All these moderate and peaceful Muslims... aren't Muslim. If anything, they're closer to Catholics who call their god Allah, and preach Mohammad over Jesus.
They're all too bound up in what their book says about who was special, and so on, and so forth... how about living a peaceful and moral life based on common sense ideologies? Hell, I hate to referrence Dogma (the movie)... but hell, that movie has it just about right on how religion should be treated! We don't KNOW anything about religion besides books that have been written.. by men, not God (et al.for names...). Therefore, all religious texts are fallable unless they were brought into spontaneous existence through divine will. Even if some did trully convey the 'Word of God'... it's a conveyance.. a 2nd hand account... subject to interpretation.
I am devoutly Agnostic... I have some good ideas, but admit to knowing nothing about the truth of existence. I live because I do. I do right and good as I see right and good to be. I hold beliefs from a broad assortment of belief systems/religions as they suit to be sensible to me. Out of all of this research and rationale I apply in my reading... I find the Muslims to be the hardest hit by an obviously oppressive and violent religion. If I were to make a conjecture about it's "true" origins, I would say it was a means to establish central power under the guise of Divine Right as perpetrated by Mohammed. Honestly... about the same as most other major religions. If God were as the Catholics/Christians/Jewish say God is... why is an organized religion even necessary? Wouldn't all sensible and good people end up following out of a desire to see good in the world... not because a book says so?
Though the anti-Muslim movie in question was undoubtedly nothing more than 'flamebait'... the response it has elicited hardly does anything to help support their faith being 'peaceful'.
