I judge people on their individual merits, not whatever group(s) they belong to. For example, I know some really dumb Marines, but I don't conclude that all marines are dumb. There's a word for this, but it escapes me right now.

If you study Islam a little as I did for the 6 months I had an Iraqi Sunni instructor who daily extrapolated on the pure awesomeness of Islam, you will begin to see that there is no area in Islam that allows for one to be "liberal, tolerant, and peaceful". Non-believers will either convert to second class Muslims, pay the
jizzya, or die. Period end of conversation. Interpreting the Quran in any way other than what you can read on paper, death to you. Translating the Quran to a language other than Quranic Arabic, death to you. It is not and never will be a peaceful religion. The people that call themselves peaceful Muslims are in fact
Kafir and should be treated according to the Quran...DEATH. Lovely beautiful religion idnt it?
As for the Marine example...yes, most Marines are stupid.
