RE: As a Muslim I would like to pointed out several points:

Yes, as with most religions, Islam was given by God through its Prophet Mohammad for the benefit of all mankind. That is true. As was each of the self-declared evangelizing religions and many other philosophies.

I agree Islam has among its foci a peaceful existence and co-habitation with others in the world.

Almost without exception, each faith/religion has had or presently has among its followers those who take extreme positions in most cases not supported or advocated by the religions original tenets and founders. Unfortunately, the present state of the world confirms Islam is no different from other religions/philosophies which have had extremists and had portions of its followers advocating philosophies, attitudes and approaches which are harsh, exclusionary and punitive in nature.

Tuhar93, thank you for your comments. I believe they serve as a starting point wherein all reasonable, interested and caring people can begin to learn and respect one another.
