Thanks for a sober, rational review of Islam. While I am weary of religions and their delusions, I read the Koran and Hadiths to gain insight into a major problem in the world: Political Islam.
I encourage Westerners to investigate the Koran and Hadiths to learn of the 1400 year reign of terror that is Political Islam and the 100s of millions of brutal deaths and enslavements at their hands . Muslims also need to read these documents to learn what Islam really is, a program to subjugate the planet. They need to not take the word of the clerics as their guide, but study for themselves and decide rationally whether they should participate in such a religion. Of course, this means they need to be killed as per the dictates of Islam. Nonetheless, the religious aspects of Islam are just silly notions of a bygone era perpetuated into the 21st century. On the other hand, Political Islam is working hard to undermine and destroy Western Civilization.
