I gather that you think the world's 3 billion some odd Christians all
speak with
one voice, since you apparently expect the Moslem world to behave that
way.

If a basic tenet of Christianity commanded us to go conquer the world,
require everyone to Submit to our Religion and Recite an Oath to our god,
one might well worry about what voice was being heard.

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

If
you really think the world is that way, I'm not going to bother taking
exception. I don't have enough time left in my life to fritter it away on
projects of that magnitude.

It doesn't even matter whether you are tolerant of them or not, because
they're not tolerant of you.
They *hope* you're 'fair'; just makes you that much more vulnerable.
They hope you're reticent to fight; makes conquering you that much easier.
They hope you're divided amongst yourselves; fragmenting makes you easier to
kill.
They hope you abide by your own Geneva Convention- they aren't bound by it
at all.
If you want to see the Muslims as they are, look at East Africa.

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.
