I mean...what do you REALLY know about it??

It's always interesting to me to engage people who express anti-Islam feelings. I don't look for an argument, I merely ask a simple series of questions.

1) Have you PERSONALLY ever opened a Q'ran and read it's scriptures?

2) When was the last time you attended Mosque?

3) Have you ever sat with an Imam and engaged in discussion of philosophy and theology?

4) If you have no positive answers to the above questions, do you realize your perceptions are all second-hand ideologies and media manipulations?

Start thinking for yourselves. "Research" doesn't mean "google it". I have a number of Muslims in my life that are wonderful friends and brothers, and that I would happily give my life to protect. Oh, and i'm Jewish....if you believe the media and hype, you'd think we should be enemies.  You see, as the Depeche Mode song says, "People are people". 

I too, cant understand what makes a man hate another man, if they've never met.  Please don't bother me with the same old nonsense about what this extremist or that one said.  I fully acknowledge that there are those who use their religion or ideology to promote hate and look for every excuse to either convert others to their belief or to destroy them.  After all, look who just got voted into the White House, and look at the resulting behavior among some of his faithful.  

Listen, my point is this, and i'll keep it short.  IF you want to judge ANY other person, based solely on their beliefs, than maybe you should try to understand their beliefs from a firsthand perspective.  If you base everything off of media information and second-hand talk,  then that makes you simply sheep.  Stop following the masses whose only source of "information" is The Huffington Post and Fox News.  You're not being educated. You're being indoctrinated. There's a significant difference in those two things.

For the love of all things holy, people, start thinking for YOURSELVES!!!!
