I don't know that either but that's not the subject of this post. Besides I don't think crazy fucked up Africans, the type who believe AIDS can be cured by fucking a virgin and have no problem giving 9 year olds AK-47s so they can kill other 9 year olds with AK-47s is representative of the average christian. Killing an allegedly adulterous womens while the man is left alone is standard operating procedure for the religion of peace.

OK, so let's try this.
1. I'm not sure who this undefined group of Americans enamored with Islam is.
2. People have used religion as an excuse to do fucked up things since religion was invented (and may be the reason religion was invented inthe first place)
3. I don't think crazy fucked up Afghans who destroy statues and throw acid on girls going to school ... is representative of the average muslim.
4. It pisses me off when I am the one forced to defend any religion. :)

As someone who has spent a few months in the middle east, I have to say I found their devotion and prayer lives to be something appealing. Now I don't know what they were praying for at call to prayer since it was in arabic, but they took time throughout the day to pray. You could hear the call to prayer throughout the city. It was also shown on all TV channels. Imagine the positive impact if Christians and Jews took their faith so seriously. Imagine if congress broke 5 tmes a day for prayer.

I was defending murderers?
Maybe some people want to be "different".
Not all Muslims kill others who disagree with their faith. (Some do.)
Not all Christians kill others who disagree with their faith. (Some do.)
Not all Christians are pedophiles. (Some are.)
I would guess some Muslims are pedophiles. (Most aren't.)
Some people enjoy being a Muslim. Some people would rather be a Christian. Some people don't have any religious faith. But whatever a person's faith or lack of faith, some people will find a reason to kill others.
Some say "I can". Others say "I can't". Both manage to be correct.

You provide a link with a dozen examples, primarily from Nigeria and Afghanistan, and offer that as proof that this is "standard operating procedure" for Islam?
Like I said, find a better source for your information.
