This directly relates to the topic at hand since Thailand is going through a Buddhist/Muslim struggle. There has been a rash of bombings on Buddhist temples, attacks on schools, and police stations.
Would you therefore, be kind enough to explain them to me and put them in context?
Did I misquote what Mohammed said in his final words to his disciples? Did he not say, "I was ordered to fight all men until they say, "There is no god but Allah."
I'm struggling to understand Islam and how it can be a religion of peace. Maybe you can provide some insight.

Do you really think that if _Opi_ was to explain anything to you about Islam, that you'd *BAM* all of a sudden have an epiphany and fully understand Islam....umm I think not.
How about you take some classes on Islam, read the Quran, do something and LEARN FOR YOURSELF.
Just like you said, its easy to take something out of a book and misquote it....so STOP doing it.
