"Because it is based on the teachings of Mohammad who was a pedophile. "
Quite how he was meant to have sexual intercourse with Aisha without Aisha getting pregnant is beyond me. There have been lots of cases of very young girls getting pregnant. Why didnt Aisha get pregnant? Why didnt Aisha show all the usual symptoms of someone suffering from constant abuse? The paedophilia argument is just another one of the false arguments thrown against Muslims, in the vain hope that something might stick. Do you hate Jews as well since the Torah allows for a marriage to a 3 year old?
"I believe that anyone who follows Islam is condoning pedophilia and mistreatment of women. "
Islamic teachign regarding women is more advanced and progressive than anything Christianity or Judaism can come up with in their teachings.
"When I see groups of Muslims standing up to the ones who have given the peaceful ones a bad name, then I know I can trust them. "
Oh please, such a bullshit argument. They have nothing to do with the people that commit terrorist attacks. Nothing. They shouldnt be held accountable because of what other people, over whom they have no control whatsoever, commit certain acts. Their acceptance into our society shouldnt depend on what other people do.
"Until then, get ready to be scorned. "
until you show some brains and stop being a racist and a bigot, get ready to be ridiculed.
"Why aren't any of them standing up to the terrorist organizations? "
How many terrorist organizations have been banned in how many countries? Quite clearly you know nothing about what happens in those countries. If you did, you would know that Muslims have condemned and denounced terrorists and acts of terror more than the entire Western world combined. There have been literally 1000s of fatwas issued, numerous denunciations, and every Friday they are denounced at the Grand Mosque in Mecca. But you didnt know this, did you?
"If Christianity today were to take part in the Crusades, I would be wary of them as well. "
The US army is aggressively prosyletising, trying to convert Muslims by handing out Bibles and creating Bible classes wherever they go to war, especially in Muslim countries. Some might call this a form of Crusades.
