It is pretty good, but I'm not sure it isn't just propaganda. It does support a view that many people already believe.

I'd bet my posting rights on this board that not even 1/3 of the "many people" that already have negative assumptions about Islam have not read the Qur'an. I doubt the "Christians" in that "many people" group have never glanced upon Surah 3:3-4 or have any idea what the Jews/Christians are known as to Muslims (hint: it's not infidel). Sure, the jihadists will launch attacks on the secular states of the world as they have for many years, but person to person we can't just blanket the whole religion in the same way we are afraid of them blanketing us all as infidels (unless it is assumed that Muslims are not rational people, in which case we might as well deem all religions irrational and just shut our doors and not talk to anyone).

If one has no choice but to look at Islam as antagonistic, then at least attempt to look at it and see it as a "don't start no , won't be know " mindset. It's a defensive religion, and guess what? All this bull makes them defensive and when you back people into a corner they go crazy and don't cooperate with all the other kids in the sandbox.

And just for the record, those Sharia Courts suck for Germany, Sweden, and England...but I'm not scared of screwing up our justice system and our country caving into Islamic pressure - the Muslims that live here know better. One set of laws is good for everyone here.

I think it's safe to assume that many who demonize Islam get their only information from specific places.
