    Well this is where we probably disagree, The Koran either says to kill the infidel or it doesn't. Either that or there are a lot of misinformed people killing innocent people all over the world thinking their virgins will soon be waiting.Its been a while since I read some of these passages, I won't list all the stuff that I already have above about what is wrong with these types of people.Don't give me the Christian stuff people, The New Testament updated Christianity and the world would be better off if Islam would come into the new millennium instead a bunch of savages slaughtering each other in the name of Allah or anything else. Keep in mind I am not trying to lump everyone together, just the bad eggs.
    The tragedies of 9/11 and other terrorists acts have happened in the name of Islam, the Muslim religion, they weren't Christian or any other religion.
    No doubt many bad people do things in the name of religion but also non religion.
    I am for freedom and Liberty and against oppression whether it be by Muslims or Atheists attacking people's beliefs, going after crosses at the cemetery or the name Christmas, if you don't like it fine but you have no right to interfere with others rights. I am against Oppression also by anyone including governments.

    I have agreed with others about Lowe's right to sponsor what it wants or not.
    This is suppose to be America. People should be upset with this senator for other reasons. It seems like his state has a lot more issues to deal with than this, should be a non issue, non story.
    I disagreed with his viewpoint because he blamed everyone but Muslims. You can't lump everyone together, no, especially after 9/11 and the holy war happening against the world which includes trying to institute Sharia Law in the USA, European Nations and the World.

    For the record, I have been nice, I have responded to those who have a problem with what I have said. I will not stand by why someone claims I have hate especially people who do not know me. Most people who do know me know who I am. I didn't want to respond to some of this, I think it is a waste of time but I responded and played nice out of respect to others. I probably shouldn't care, maybe next time I'll go about my business elsewhere.
    I am more interested in saving the country from itself including terrorists, bad people, etc. I am more interested in protecting liberty and freedom than debating a religion. I wish more people had the passion to stop the TSA from strip searching children and treating Americans like terrorists including taking their freedoms and Liberties away in the name of the war on terror such as the Defense Act. And these worthless politicians, senators have better things to do than go after people who decide to sponsor something or not.
    Edit: Not pointing fingers at anyone, it just amazes me with the way people debate in forums and message boards and yet no one stops politicians from destroying the states or the country.

    This I agree with. I said earlier that some who 'practice' islam are a few hundred years behind in determining what is reasonable to interpret literally.

    And for the record, I don't think you hate Muslims. It just appears to me that this whole issue that the FFA started is born out of a hatred/fear of all Muslims based on a few (or many) bad eggs. I see you are not in this camp and I apologize to you personally for thinking that you were. As you said earlier, it is hard to determine intent on a forum. I know it is hard to put down your thoughts into words in the heat of the moment especially if it is a topic you are passionate about.

    All muslims are terrorists until proven otherwise.

    I agree for the most part.

    It is not wise to take "holy books" too seriously.

    The Christian Bible in various places calls for human sacrifice, forbids you to cut your hair or beard, commands women to be submissive, disobedient children to be stoned, homosexuals to be executed, polygamy is encouraged, daughters can be sold into slavery, one cannot wear linen and wool at the same time, and of course, one must kill anyone with a different religion.
