+ Too tired to comment much more than to say I’ve been reading up on the Muslim Jihad and Mohammad, and it’s no easier to find something sensible on the topic than finding sensible news in general. I did find an intelligent viewpoint written by Mustafa Akyol on al Qaeda and Beheadings at the National Review Online. also check out some of the links provided in the article…I also found a great deal of Christian and Jewish links that focus entirely on a few nasty verses of the Koran. The verses are about killiing the unbeliever, Christains and Jews. I’m no Historian, but Mustafa Akyol is and he proposes that these verses are taken out of context by both the radical Islamics, and those that see the Koran as being hateful. He proposes that these verses were written to instruct Islamic tribal warriors on how to wage, and succeed, in war against their enemies. Their enemies being Christians and Jews. I also read a few of the 13 part article by Mohammad Asghar titled MUHAMMAD & ISLAM: Stories not told before. Which I mostly believe. It exposes the very human side of Muhammad, the Muslim profit who wrote the Koran. -more links to follow.
