This thread was not started as a Muslim intolerance thread. It was started as a thread that highlights the aspects of Islam that promote tolerance.

Knee-jerk liberal response. I know Christians in the UK don't throw acid in the face of their wifes because they didn't attend church. Is this is not backward??????

I'm not a liberal.

Men who are not Muslims do horrible things to women in Britain all the time, David (and sometimes they even kill them). And I know that some of them believe they are entitled to because God created Eve entirely for the benefit of Adam, and because the Bible tells them that it is their right. Many of these men are Christians.

And then there are the non-Muslim men who abuse Muslim women just because they are Muslims.

I have never said, and you can look, as their is probably 20 instances when i have said, that i believe it is unfair to say all muslims are guilty, all i am saying, is that the muslim community needs to look at extremists on their doorsteps, and in their mosques and protect especially their young from being misled.

Every time you say "Islam is" this or that, you are blaming all Muslims. There is no monolithic entity you can point a finger at called "Islam" that you can make blanket statements about. As I have repeatedly said, there are too many different kinds of Islam for you to be able to do that. Every time you say "Islam is" you are including all Muslims in your statement. And in that way you spread hatred and intolerance.
