Right on Lee :-)
Adam Husmo you’re absolutely right stay away form the Great USA, we don’t need more muslims in this country, we already have more than enough. Go somewhere else like Europe or Australia! We will be fine and dandy with less of your people in my country.
i am as a muslim live moderately and peacefully here. :) anything u say about muslim i just smile back at u
Lee.. You’re really making a fool out of yourself here.. You dont have to leave your comment if you are that ignorant.. you seriously watch too many screwed up movies.. And I think you just gave us a new explanation of Islam-phobia..
Mini you obviously are a muslim or else an idiot. The KKK was run by Democrats you idiot. Do your research before you show off how stupid you are. Muslims are all about hate and killing off anyone who doesn’t share their views. I’m sure there are plenty of planes that will take your sorry ass there and we will be glad to see you go. Enjoy your burka.
***It is too bad that Dr. Oz was not asked about the more insidious aspects of Islam, such as Mohammed’s pedophilia (he married a girl age 6 and violated her at age 9); female genital mutilation; men allowed up to four wives; temporary “marriages” to legitimize sex; sex with animals and with children, both legal in Iran; husbands allowed to beat their wives at will: honor killings of offspring who “violate” some part of Islamic law; the Koran’s calling for subjugation of Christians and Jews, and if they do not pay tribute they are to be killed; stoning to death of women for a variety of “offenses”; etc. Dr. Oz’s moderation may be an anomaly in America as the more radical adherents are making huge inroads into American society.
Well… another Islam hater. Read Al Qur’an… not watch bad quality movie. Islam support one woman man. Read again Al Qur’an before write wrong statement… really, make me laugh…
@Alfred Green , Stop watching Bad quality movies about islam please , all what you said is WRONG …
please read Al Qur’an before you say anything stupid …. ( mariage & sex with children’s & animals …. are you kiding me !! please at least if you want to say wrong opinions about islam , make them bearly acceptable for human mind )
Neil Armstrong was the victim of a hoax. He was not a muslim, but a deist. He believed in God, but not the Trinity, miracles, or the inerrancy of scripture.

Hi there,
I’m a Turkish atheist and some people act that im a muslim too when they hear that i am a Turkish. Of course thats not a problem for me but then they are beginning to criticize Islam without any reason.
I have criticized the Islam during all my life but not against an atheist but well against a muslim that defends Islam.
Thus i have always been treated good by the people as a caucasian an educated person, but when i say that i Turkish roots have, then some people treat me like a muslim and Arabic. Thats racism.
By the way all religions are nonse and dangerous not only Islam. But Islam had never reforms like Christianism. Thus i can say that we must criticize Islam until they reform. But not provoke well criticize.
Sorry for my poor English.
Peace
Levent
Lol Alfred, go to your local Mosque and the imam will correct whatever you said perfectly.
1- The Real question – Could it be is “The Holy Qur’an” doubted ?
- According to facts, it couldn’t be as much as it proven be right with very modern science of view (for a book comes from more than 2400 yrs ago , WOw)
2- How u bring this assurance of terrorism view about Islam ?
- Just as nonsense for reckless individuals actions as it would be for all nations – The only different it’s under the misuses of spotlight – The only difference is the claimer don’t bring up real proofs that Islam asks its followers to make terrorism; for a religion called peace in mean
- I finally conclude – DO NOT READ ABOUT ISLAM, DISCOVER IT seek real MUSLIMS to get the facts
Lee you are such a liar – you reading another religion legislations may be Christian as it has been faked lately – I challenge u to read us one verse of Holy Qur’an ask people to kill – it’s in Arabic – Translate it and show off the real source via direct-link
This verse explicitly speak about the Kill (seek translation if you don’t trust ur fingers)
{وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللّهُ إِلاَّ بِالحَقِّ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطَانًا فَلاَ يُسْرِف فِّي الْقَتْلِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مَنْصُورًا}
The translation is (And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly – We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].)
Do you want to Know the rest of unjust spells in it Ok here it’s
- (And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned, And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is the best [way] and best in result, And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart – about all those [one] will be questioned)
- ( And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], “uff,” and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word, And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, “My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small) How could it bring terrorism thereafter.
- Christianity doesn’t ask its followers to tell lies about other – Does it, Lee?!
