I have no idea why you are surprised with me disagreeing with your take on Islam - surely you weren't naive or arrogant enough to come on a forum and expect everyone to see things the exact same way you do. You have an expectation or belief that different people with different life experiences should still all see or react to philosophical ideas in the same way. That expectation has been disappointed.

Surely you are not going to suggest that everyone who disagrees with your views is in fact covering up for not realising what they were getting into? I was an atheist so not sure why would you think I didn't think things through or read the Quran or talk to Muslims before becoming a Muslim.

At the time I became a Muslim I was well aware that Muslims were viewed as a bunch of violent, misogynistic nutters. But I was also aware that the Muslims I spoke to and interacted with were nothing like the media stereotype - they were thoughtful and tolerant. So I realised pretty quickly that Muslims were individuals with diverse beliefs.

You can carry on believing it is a huge conspiracy if you want - and that Muslims are just biding their time - not much I can do about your beliefs.

You know I TOTALLY agree with you on most you say here !! Honest ?!!?!?
I don't 'expect' anyone to agree with anything I say &, to be really honest, I don't care.
One of the best guys I've ever known was a Muslim & I was very upset when I heard he'd passed on from one of his sons. His family still live in Southall. Him being a Muslim has nothing at all to do with him being, basically, a wonderful guy.
Which goes into this 'grey area' of Muslims being the same as everyone else. Of course !!!
SOME Muslims ARE biding their time, such as IS etc but neither am I so naive to think 99% of ANY people are totally fine. It only takes ONE person to cause absolute carnage. We've seen this in just this last week.

Have they ALL got a legitimate reason to hate the Kuffar ????

When you say "ALL" what do you mean? Are you working on the assumption that all Muslims hate the kuffar? Your evidence for that?

Salaam G
Of course not but you know as well as I do how the Kuffar were viewed in your prophet's time & we must take that always into account as to why religions appear.

Kuffar meaning 'ungrateful', that in itself can be quite insulting too, nah??
Would you please reread my previous post?
