Great interview with the former Muslim / Christian convert. His comments implicating Islam as the problem resonate strongly in my heart and soul. Anyone who has taken an objective glance at Islam from an outside perspective could see it's innate problems.
Along that topic, prior to my OIF trip I had a crash course in Arabic. During this class, our teacher showed us a documentary about the history of Islam. It was made by PBS and extremely positive and overt in bias. During this documentary however, a Islamic studies professor told the story about Mohammed's first 'vision' or 'divine inspiration' and described it as a horrible, terrible feeling of dread washed over Mohammed and urged him to "recite" the verses of the Koran. I've tried to see the direct story behind all of this but I've been unable to find it. If anyone else has some knowledge of this topic I would definitely like to hear from you. When I think of God, the terms "horrible" and "dread" are far removed from my thoughts.
You will know the true roots of a religion by the fruit it bears.
