Thanks for the chance to reply Node:
I am not uncomfortable. Most posts are crude and out of context but some are good.

I have never met anyone that even remotely suggested what everyone is spouting off on here about Sharia, world domination and killing anyone. This will still leave a huge hole for the hate mongers to reply I am a liar or whatever. The people with any clue know I make valid points, add some opinions, and join the sarcasm as anyone else. They still may disagree but you don’t see them acting without class.

Come to a Mosque during Friday prayer, there is a speech at the beginning and see if you find your expected want-to-be-murderes and so on.

I can’t believe that you used the words indigenous people. American Indians, Native Americans…they had every right to defend themselves but they could not so just forget about that right? Might makes right, right?

The Quran has pre and post Meccan included. They are not separated but maybe someone has organized them in that fashion to make it easier to study.

There is some confusion but fortunately there is a large resource of writings that have not been clogged by Orientalist attempts to discredit. The lack of a Khalifa is indeed an issue that can cause confusion and is causing confusion.
