Furthermore, I see these idiots just riling up the media with their "freedom of speech". No one stopped the European media from publishing those cartoons so now these people are probably just testing the same rule. I don't see them performing any public executions, or following through on that bullshit written on the posters.

True, but they messages in those cartoons, and the messages urging the "SLAYING" "MASSACRE" and warnings of more "9/11" attacks is a VERY different message than the one portrayed in a cartoon. True, we should not judge all Muslims and Islam based on these fanatics, but ALL Muslims and practicing Islamist should put down, of their own accord, extremists like these.
I won't quote the rest, but your arguments are just supossitions. How do you know they're NOT as real as they seem? Granted, it is a little far fetched, but no less a possibility of it being real. TO claim these photos are chopped...kinda weak argument IMHO.
For the pictures of the hotels and buildings:
Claiming that Islam and Muslims are not backwards thinking because they are building really expensive buildings? Wow, way to look forward. The way a society exploits and uses money is in no way reflective of their culture. And rich places like Dubai and the UAE are hardly representative of the rest of the middle-eastern world. Posting a bunch of pics of the few places on earth that can afford to do something like this because they sell oil to the REST of the world. I don't understand what that has got to do with religious beliefs?
Not that I neccessarily agree or disagree, but one point I wanted to bring up to see what you people thought about it. Most practicing Christian religions, along with others that have not neccessarily fit into life in the 20th century, have made certain ammendments to make the religion more relevant. Ok, so Catholocs still believe that homosexuality is wrong, but they sure as hell don't advocate KILLING. I guess my point is that Islam spreads a much more hateful message towards non-believers than the messages of other religions. All people are free to practice that belief which they so chose, but for long can each religion survive with the belief that they are the superior, only true one.
Couple of quotes I a little offensive:
"I was ordered to fight the people until they believed in Allah"
In reference of non-Islamists "Those who inclur the wrath of Allah"
I simply cannot agree with any religions writings with messages such as the above, no matter which religion it seems to be.
Further, it seems that a religion that so strongly views women as beasts is a little outdated...but it won't be changed, because the weak, dependant minds of the masses would not be easy to convert to a new way of thinking, a way that conflicts with the preset conventions of the last thousand years....
I don't want to insult anyone by my opinions, I just want to express them here, and see what others think...
