Biased interpretation or essential warning?

Over the past few days I have been reading the online version of the Prophet of Doom by Craig Winn. He is also the author of Tea with Terrorists. It is hard to deny his arguments. The benign face of Islam penetrated or just a far right Christian with an axe to grind? Appears to be the former.

You might consider that some people are moderated by their faith and Islam is moderated by the goodness of man.  

I am no scholar of Islam but have studied in the context of the people that practice it, mainly in the ME.  It is somewhat dismaying to read a literal translation.  I have also read the Arabic version and it is also appalling.

7.62mmFMJ,

Can you expand on what is dismaying and what is appalling in the texts you have read?

I always considered that particular following just an excuse for immorality and ciminal intent, not a religion.  If you follow it religiously it simply demonstrates your intent to follow the immoral and decadent behaviors of muhammed.  My 2 cents worth.  Mikey.

One need look no further than the founder of Islam.  He was nothing more than a bandit, robbing camel trains until he married into money.  He then became altruistic......yeah, like Jim Bakker.....or John Kerry.

Here's something that you'all probably don't know.  Mohammed's favorite camel was named al Kaswa.  I don't why this was his favorite and would rather not hear your suggestions. :)
Don't believe everything you think.
