No problem man, if its a civilized reply I will gladly answer..

Your are absolutely correct in saying that the women in parts of the middle east are abused and treated very badly. This is completely wrong and is stated that it is wrong in the Quran. But this is more of a cultural aspect then religious.

As for the Quran stating taking lives in the name of Allah, that is only to be done if your religion is being suppressed. If warefare is being conducted because of territory, then taking your life and saying it was in the name of Allah is completely wrong. the only reason a Muslim should take his life for religion is if someone is actually suppressing his religion. That is also why you dont see all the other middle eastern countries jumping on the badnwagon when someone from Iraq or whoever calls for Jihad. Most of them know that it is not truly a Jihad? Or is it?

The thing is that the Middle East is very primitive, and they like it that way. the problem is non-muslims coming in and trying to make democracy there. They dont care for that. All there governments are ran via Islam.

In all honestly though the bible and the quran write bad things about the Jews, and history has always told us that. Me personally I have no hatred against anyone. Majority of Muslims living in America do not either that is one of the reasons they moved here.

So hopefully I dont offend anyone in my statements, I apologize if I did. I was just typing as I was thinking.
