He's not a massive religious extremist who stones anyone who does anything vaguely against the Qu'ran and, as I've mentioned before, Iran on the whole is a very progressively minded country.

Not that it's entirely relevant. I hate George Bush but I'm not going to pick up a gun and start taking pot shots at him. And although Nuclear is a very scary word, there is a massive amount that has to be done to turn a nuclear power station into a nuclear missile. Them building a power station does not make them missile capable.

no ones saying it does, but anyone w/half a brain can see that the 2 go hand in hand. and if you can prove to me that the president of iran is not muslim ill pack my bags and go home. no?........exactly.

Pick up the Qu'Ran, it states that all children of Abraham will go to Heaven. This means Christians and Jews get to sip ****tails with Allah. Very few Muslims anywhere advocate a militant dominance of Islam over other religions. It's like taking the actions of godhates***s.com and implying that the entire Amerian population (as it is a largely Christian nation, and godhates***s are Christians) are a bunch of homophobic and general haters. If you reserve the right to be not lumped in with extremists, then so does Johnny Average Muslim.

Did I say he wasn't Muslim? I said that he doesn't hold the power that you're implying he does, and I say that he only represents a very small minority of the Muslim population. Anyone with a full brain looks up the implications of Nuclear power and realises that a power station doesn't make a missile.

look everyone knows that there is a difference between muslims and terrorists. the problem is that no one knows what that difference is.

muslims are a people group


terrorists are an organized group of people who plot to for lack of a better word terrorize other people.

Islamic people belive in islam just because you're muslim doesn't mean you follow islam

I'll give you a hint - one has a bomb strapped to himself/stuck in a car engine and is telling everyone that the west/British Government/other power source to kick out at should burn in hell. The other wants to live in peace with everyone regardless of race, gender, sexuality or religion. It's a bit of a tossup as to which is which, I'll admit to that, but I'm going to have to ... YES! The terrorists are the peace loving ones!

Oh so clear now.
