For [many Muslims], the Koran, every word of it, is the dictated word of Allah (God) as told by the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) to Allah's prophet Muhammad....
Ten years ago, U.S. soldiers being deployed to the Middle East who flew to Qatar or Kuwait on the United Arab Emirates airline, before the UAE's supreme leadership in spearheading the Abraham Accords, reported that on maps in flight brochures, a country named Israel did not exist. Many seem to be working now to make that a reality, not just on a map.

For more background try reading The Haj by Leon Uris. Islam was spread by the sword originally. Jews would not submit. Muslims traditionally carry grudges for generations.

Anyone who reads their Koran must agree with the main premise of the article:
Islam is the root cause of the problem.
In support, here's what the Koran has to say about the matter, and is why muslims the world over hate both Christians and Jews:
"Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them." koran 2:191
I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. Koran 8:12
"Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood." koran 9:123
"When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them." koran 9:5
"Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." koran 3:85
"The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them."... koran 9:30
"Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam" koran 5:33
"Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies." koran 22:19
"The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them." koran 8:65
"Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." koran 3:28
"Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." koran 8:60
"We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority." Koran 3:151
So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]." — Koran 47:4,

As Christian religion is a love of God the Koran is a religion of hate inspired by lucifer.

They might not be sub-human as they claim. But what about being inhuman. They are certainly giving a good impression of it.

They ARE subhuman. An evil religion and centuries of inbreeding will do that.

Muslims also believe it is perfectly right and proper to lie to non-Muslims. They therefore should be treated the same as we would any other known liar; never take anything from a Muslim as truthful, be suspicious of every word they say and every photo and video they offer.

Many years ago, in an effort to educate myself and understand the roots of Islam, I attempted to read the Koran. I found it to be a mass of confusion, and I subsequently learned that even Muslim scholars couldn't make heads or tails of most of it. What a pile of rubbish!!

Seems like only yesterday the media was worried silly that somewhere, someplace a Koran had been damaged.

Jimmy Carter did a lot of inventive cartography as well. A firm antisemite.

Very high numbers of mentally unbalanced and literal idiots is the result.

If a charismatic person emerged today espousing a new message deviating from an already established faith and claiming to be the last Prophet of G-d, we would not hesitate to label said person as an apostate, his message to be heresy and his following to be a dangerous (and deadly) cult.

No.3 You may be right about nuclear war but we need to fear the most are the thousands of muslim terrorists that have been allowed to cross our borders. They are here now and it’s just a matter of time before they start slaughtering Americans and our laws will not allow is to defend ourselves.

The God of the Bible commands we love our enemies. The god of the Koran demands that their believers kill their enemies. The basic precepts of these two religions could not be more disparate. It is a stark example of good versus evil. Unfortunately, as much as we would like it, Muslims will not stop killing because they believe it is a holy command. It is their duty. However the amount of barbarianism is all on each individual jihadi. They are a violent and backward culture. Even their own little girls are subject to unbelievable horror, torture really, by this death cult. They value nothing but death. This is an evil culture that is based upon violence and death. Where is their philanthropy? Where is their compassion for their own people? They have allowed their own people to languish in horrific conditions in order to use their money for weapons. There is no good in Hamas. It is a terrorist organization that lives to inflict pain and death on Israelis, but never doubt that this same hatred is directed at each and everyone of us here in this country. Do not be fooled. They mean it when they scream, death to America.

I love it when Muslims start talking "history". Their take is that nothing that happened before Mohammed is worth knowing and neither is anything not mentioned in the Koran. They believe the Bible is the Word of God; they just don't believe what it says (figure that one out.)
You can kind of see how they are stuck 600s and that their history sounds like an alternate universe.

To #13:
"If a charismatic person emerged today espousing a new message deviating from an already established faith and claiming to be the last Prophet of G-d,",
who also happened to be a genocidal, blood-thirsty, sex-crazed, misogynstic, pedohilic rapist, that claimed his revelations were given to him only, and that by an "angel of light" in a cave in the middle of the night, as mohammed was and did, it would only strengthen our resolve to reject him.
Every time any Western society allows a muslim to stand up in public and advocate for islam, it comprises complicity with every evil thing mohammed promoted...including murder, rape, pedophilia, misogyny, etc, etc etc.

I know how it will all end, and it will not bode well for the Arab, Persian, or any Mohammedan for that matter.
"They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia." Revelation 14:20

That is the question, #16.
Why does a people bring the enemy in with open arms? Several authors have written about this pathology. It is a sickness of wanting to be liked, ESPECIALLY by those who detest you. Why are people surprised when the beast does what a beast does?
From the beginning, Islam has been driven by the passion to destroy the West, or, The Other. This is one reason you will see them make alliances of the moment with the Left, for example beginning with the Bolsheviks, and with fascists everywhere, above all with Hitler and the NAZIs: they share the same goal.
They are driven by "chiliastic frisson" (a phrase I like from Christopher Hitchens). They are among the most violent, merciless, bloodthirsty killers, ever.
We do seem to be fast approaching the final battle, between good and evil, millenarian, ultimate. There aren't enough free countries to ally with in order to oppose the evil. There's no will. There's the fatal flaw of niceness, or "tolerance." We have been Israel's most faithful ally. Now leadership dithers, quavers, dilly-dallies, nail chewing, pant-soiling, morally defunct, busily destroying the most powerful military organization through celebrating every sexual depravity..
