I see most of the comments seem to point to Islams intolerance. Its is not Islams intollerance of things, Islam is very tolerant of many things.
The problem seems to be the extreme minority always seem to command the media interest, we never hear the more balanced view. Majority of muslims would not condone the behaviour of people doing this sort of thing in anyway shape or form, since there is no justification for it.
The simple fact of the matter is that if you dont like your situation then you have got the choice of quitting (he could have just left the army at the earliest opportunity). Islam in no way preaches this type of indiscriminate killing, instead this is simply something that extreme individuals/groups use to justify their own sick and twisted interpretation of what they think is a reflection of reality.
I really dont know why the majority of you get into the religious/political arguments without taking more balanced views. :dunno:
If you don't like it then leave. Your not going to change someones views with hatred.
Yes thats my point exactly
We should start hanging traitors again... but that's another topic.
The problem with the Qaran is it promises heavenly reward for killing "infidels." That is something VERY different than any other major religion.
Where exactly did you find that information from? I would verify that again, or better still get a view from a more moderate source.:dunno:
I think that the lack of adaptation and integration of muslims in a christian religious based society is more difficult than one would admit.
Could the same not be said perhaps about the Jewish faith?
Brings up an interesting question: Can a "tolerant" society accept people who preach intolerance?
No it's not. Just like all Christian do not want to assassinate abortion doctors.
A voice of moderation.:hatsoff:
