There is nothing wrong with Islam as a religion, only in those who pervert it to their wills.miacanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959752117715238351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-91054100839770283352009-03-18T15:59:00.000-07:002009-03-18T15:59:00.000-07:00"Unlike Catholics, there is no centralized Islamic..."Unlike Catholics, there is no centralized Islamic religious hierarchy which could issue a statement like the Nostra Aetate -- or for that matter, one which is promulgating the sort of anti-Semitic ideology that required that proclamation in the first place."<BR/><BR/>Who the hell are the "they" in your comment?

The history of Islam is full of discrimination against Jews (and Christians), acts based on the Koran and the actions and sayings of Mohammed.<BR/><BR/>Asking them to renounce this anti-Semitism and acknowledge that Jews have the full rights of anyone including those of Moslems (and I'm not even including women or gays here) then and only then would we have the beginning of a true accommodation and the possibility of peace.<BR/><BR/>But to do this they would need to reinterpret the Koran which they refuse to do.Cycle Cyrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652830857909607093noreply@blogger.com
