Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

Just to comment on the original post. Not all muslims are hateful. To group them all in with the haters is just plain narrow minded and hateful in itself.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville

So what is your point? I don't see any. The religion is a religion of hatred and slavery.

Testifying of God's oneness, prayer, giving, I can't remember the other 2. What is your point?

Fasting and pillgrimage are the other two.

Where is the hatred in these pillars, which are what Islam is built upon?

Well thanks for straightening me out. For a minute there I was sure it was muslims killing all these people all over the world. I'm glad we got that fixed. You should run for president.

You are assuming that the religion is a religion of hate based on the interpretation and actions of a few muslims.

This is similar to assuming that Catholicism is a religion of molestation based on the actions of a few priests.

Clearly, you have never read anything in the Koran. Am I wrong?

You are wrong. "Clearly", you must have read different passages than I did.

very well said..
Some people make their goals the stars,
They may live and die never reaching them,
but in the darkness of the night, those stars will guide them to their destination,
because they put them in their sights.
