Sorry Tony. That part must have got lost in the us versus them and I'm right version of the book you are reading from.

The biggest issue I have is that I see Muslims doing good things daily, and how Islamic civilization has enriched our world.

I see Muslims as ordinary people here in Toronto, with most of them having come for better futures for their kids and they'll sacrifice their generation as parents to make that future as good as it can be. They want simple ordinary lives free to worship and live as they choose and have built churches and community centres and schools and businesses here.

Toronto is a pretty diverse city. Where the rubber hits the ground all faith groups are doing good things here and working together on bigger pictures

As for your Quranic reference, don't know of it and am surprised by it.

Jews and Christians are "People of the Book" as specifically referenced by Mohammed, and all of the Bible's Holy Prophets, Jesus, Mary, are part of Islam

After that everything is about the character weaknesses of man. The manipulation of events by those who can. Using religion as a means to unite minds agains others.

It becomes "They" and "Us" and "They're wrong" and "We're right" Oh and we have God on our side.

Funny thing is Jews, Christians and Muslims and other share that One God of Abraham.

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
