They want to see Buckingham Palace become a mosque

You openly admit that there is a difference of opinion among Muslim's as to what exactly is and is not Islam, and you have the audacity to state that you have determined exactly what Islam is and is not, to the point that you will even attempt to persuade those Muslims who will listen of the merit of your perspective! You say, "I have travelled, and read books, and so I know what Islam is really about - in fact, I know it better than the Muslims do!" WTF? And all the while you fail to realise the arrogance and hypocrisy in your stance?

Take for example the part of your post where you compare Jesus with Mohammed, in which you explicitly declare the contents of the Bible to be null and void in order to make your point about Christianity... then compare that to your insistance that the full contents of the Qu'ran must be considered when evaluating Islam. Not only is your "logic" inconsistent, it's also just plain silly both fronts, since neither Christians nor Muslims follow their holy books to the letter. I'm sure you well know that there's some pretty disturbing stuff written in the Bible. An outsider could easily read that stuff and conclude that we're all freaking bonkers, and start trying to persuade us of his point of view and campaign to stop churches being built... and eventually some pr!ck claiming to be Christian might get annoyed and send him a death threat. It doesn't prove anything other than that guy is a pr!ck.

People are not defined by what it says in a book, nor by the teachings of prophets. If that were the case then Christians would be defined by forgiveness and we both know that's a load of bollocks.

I shared a flat with a deeply religious Muslim guy for two years. He took his religion very seriously, but also intelligently. He said, "The Qu'ran says I can marry more than one woman as long as I love them equally. I don't think it's possible to love two (or more) women equally, so I'll just marry one." He also used to eat bacon for breakfast and get sh!tfaced with me on Saturday nights. So you say he was not a true Muslim? Then I say: there is no such thing as a true Muslim, at least not by your definition, just as there is no such thing as a true Christian.
