I never said that. If you were to read the Qur'an you would on occasion find suras which were not violent or designed to manipluate the believer or which did not inspire the believer to think of non-Muslims as sub-human. Individual Muslims can be capable of great decency but as an ideology it is perhaps humanity's greatest error. Only communism comes close to causing the misery which Islam has, and continues to, cause.

I already know that you are different. I know that you are not a Muslim because you do not believe in the things which you would need to believe in in order for you to qualify to be a Muslim. Like I said before, just calling yourself a Muslim isn't sufficient for you to actually be one. Like if I called myself a millionaire it wouldn't necessarily mean I was a millionaire - only the amount of wealth I own has any bearing on weather or not I am a millionaire.

All followers of Islam are a threat to peaceful people, because they have to hate unbelievers in order to qualify to be a Muslim. Islam's goal is to control the entire world, and since over 4/5 of the world population has demonstrated that it does not wish to be Muslim, violence and terror are the only ways in which Islam can spread in an effective way.

As I've said before in this thread (but which seems not to have been noticed), not everyone who calls themselves Muslim really are Muslims. You are not a Muslim. You simply have some kind of Islamic background, but now you have far more in common with a secular person than an Islamic one. Hence to call yourself a Muslim is to be mistaken, or to lie.
