great,and ISLAM is evil.I am saying ISLAM is evil.There is no doubt in my mind that ISLAM is pure evil.If he wants to say Christianity is pure evil,then I don't have a problem with that.

Bottom line is religious zealots from almost any religion can make it evil. I have every concern in the world about today's Islam and the fact that the moderates are backing down. I have already said I see it as an almost facist movement, a snowballing effect. But I see no particular reason that the core of Islam
MUST BE any more evil than other religions.
I dont see why this is so hard to understand. You have harped on some of the written words of Muhammed to illustrate how it is evil and all I have said if you take certain passages for ALMOST ANY religious text you will find some very distasteful passages. Most of these old religious texts are giant amalgamations of many peoples ideas over long periods of time. Look at the history of all these holy texts. Is there any wonder why blatant contradictions abound in all? I am conjecturing that the conditions required to make Islamic Fundamentalism a threat to basic rights are in place at this time in the History of the world.
I am looking at all the stuff going on now in a historical perspective. I see what you are saying right now.
