Sorry but Islam is alot more logical and simple than Christianity. People like you and Profits of Doom make me sick really. I've studied all three major religions during my time at uni and people like you two have become an epidemic, I seriously think it is some sort of mental illness, obsessed with muslims.
Profits of Doom you could not be further from base, "praying facing Mecca, from Judaism, to Mecca in an attempt to make Islam appeal". That sentence makes no sense anyway. Muslims don't hate Jews, that's a pretty huge generalization to make, most of the hatred comes from the current Israel-Palestine conflict, not because of some fairy tale in your propaganda book.
There are around 1.5 Billion Muslims in the world, and it is growing fast, it is set to overtake Christianity in the next 5 years, 50,000 people in the USA converting each year, most of them women and not for no reason. I don't care if people diss religion, but at least have your facts right, I hear people everyday talk shit about Muslims and stuff but they have no Idea what they are talking about, I have a few Muslims at my workplace, and guess what surprise surprise they are human beings.
