You seem to be inferring that that is true of the Koran, and that each of its
1.6 billion adherants interprets every tenet identically.

there is no doubt that the basic tenet is; Submit & Recite.

Of course there's a doubt. When some Muslims publicly say that they don't
subscribe to that interpretation, then there is a doubt.....at least in my mind,
if not yours.

.....And an identical interpretation by every single muslim, past and present,
public and private, on the record and off, here and there, then and now,
just isn't necessary to make the point.

You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to not share it, and don't.

From what I have read
of how Muslims address that point, they claim it is not true.

They have conquered in it's command for 1300 years, starting with Mohammed
and his Companions.

Translate into a coherent English sentence, please.

Now, if you think
they're all lying and trying to hoodwink you, you might want to consider how
to deal with your paranoia problem.

It's not 'paranoia' when they kill you by the thousands and tell you why.

We are talking about three billion Christians (that's with a "B") and 1.6
billion Muslims (also with a "B") and you see thousands of deaths as a cause of
a new Crusade? Sorry, but leave me out of that kind of thinking.

What they hope, as translated by you, is immaterial. Since you're not even
qualified to speak for us, you're hardly qualified to speak for them. Muslims
world-wide are no more of one voice regarding their religion than Christians
are.

But Muslims are also enjoined to take the part of any muslim over any dhimmi
or infidel for any reason. That's why you don't see any opposition to the
terrs, and damned little condemnation.

I'm so happy that, by reducing a complex problem down to a simple sentence,
you've managed to make fools of serious scholars who conclude otherwise. Must
make you feel good about yourself and how smart you are.
