My Only Mohammed is Ali

Is the Muslim religion really a peaceful & misunderstood way of life that has a bad reputation based solely on the words & actions of fringe extremists? The short answer is, no. The more I see or read about brutal crimes happening in the US, the more I learn about how 23% of the world's population lives. There is no shortage of Muslim criticism around, but here is my shorthand version of why the religion sucks-
Women get treated like dogs. Get raped? Death penalty. Love your husband? So do his other 7 wives. Have an opinion? Death penalty. If your husband wants to beat you up, the only rule is no broken bones, and you do not have a say in whether, when, or where you have sex.
If a father believes his daughter has embarrassed him or the family, it is his duty as a Muslim to MURDER her. This scenario has happened in the United States (in one instance, a Muslim American father purposely ran over & killed his daughter & her friend with a Ford Explorer because he saw (non-trivial--fully clothed) facebook photographs of her with male and female friends.
I don't believe that it's our job to police the world, and I don't think that everyone should believe in the same things, but I will definitely be happy to see changes made in the middle east. And as for the US, right or wrong we do things differently here, and we don't take kindly to abusing animals or human beings, so be ready to join your wife's suffering sooner than later if you bring it to our house. AMERICA! YEAH!
