did you mean "with islam" or "in islam"?

islam is like communism. In theory there's some reasonable ideas in places, but it just doesn't work how it should. Plus there's a lot of paranoia in places about other religions when really we don't feel threatened by them at all and in many cases are happy to respect & accept their views.

with. My comment meant imo the best thing non-muslims (like me) can do, is just not say anything.

you should watch sleeper cell. It shows a very good insight into the religion without you realising you're learning, and the differences between the normal muslims & the extremists. Obviously it's all sensationalised but it's a good watch

A very good point. I think they are made of fear.

Being a muslim in the southern US, I find it hard to go through daily life with people giving me dirty looks. Maybe I should just go back to where I came from.
