For anyone even remotely interested finding out more about Islam.

[Theorist]

I remember in my government class, we were watching a video about extreme conservatives who wanted to ban the (I don't know if this is the right term, but) 10 commandments of the quaran from being legal.

I asked a muslim kid I know "Aren't your rules pretty much the same as the 10 commandments in the bible?"

And he said "Yeah, they're almost exactly the same."

I wouldn't be against a religion, only the followers ISV. All major world religions have very strict moral codes. If people followed those codes, the world would be great. It's just people don't follow them sometimes, and so they do bad things. But this is the person/people, because the religion does not say. No holy scriptures anywhere say to kill Americans, or cause terror, people just get power hungry.

I think of it like this. Do I like America? As a country, no, I'm not really proud to be an American or anything. As an idea? I think it's a great idea. America was founded upon a great idea so in that respect I do like America.

Much like religion, almost all religions I know I think they're good ideas, about peace, love, and tolerance. But the people who kill in the name of religion are generally just using it as a copout, and not actually following the religion
