I'm pleased to see Auraptor out on a limb all by his lonesome self.
Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.

I have a problem w/folks think 1984 is just an entertaining novel; it's a map showin' where we don't want to go, but could easily stumble into.
@AURaptor: please read it.

Actually, there are dozens of Quran passages that call for the death of non-believers.

I agree with you that they are being directed by crazy leaders, but those leaders are simply using what is already a part of Islam to get folks to do what they want. The root of this terrorism is in the religion itself. Do you think that if the Quran never said any of those things and preached tolerance like some Muslims try to say it does, that there would even be an opportunity for those leaders to get religious people all riled up? I don't think so.

That makes it different to every other religion, erm how exactly? How are the Lords Resistance Army justifying raping killing and abducting in to slavery thousands of Children every year?
Could it be...
The Bible?

I don't know where anyone got the idea that I was saying that Islam is the only religion that condones violence against non-believers. Islam was the only one we were discussing at the time, so it was the only one I mentioned. All three of the major monotheistic religions are like that, and probably quite a few others as well.
I was not defending Christianity or Judaism in any way shape or form. You folks just assumed a little too much. Oh, well, it happens.

Then I apologise, it's just that we've had a number of people here recently, including some Christian Fundementalists like Cartoon, who have expressed that exact same view. It gets too me.
