No, it is not a generalization, because I was talking about ONE thing, the koran. I was not putting all muslims under the umbrella of strict interpreters. As I said though, the koran does teach that stuff. The Crusade analogy is useless, because the Bible never instructed Christians to go on a Crusade, whereas the koran does instruct muslims to murder Christians and Jews (and as a Christian of Jewish blood, surely you can see how uncomfortable the religion makes ME feel), to subjugate women, etc.
If any thought that I was wrong, and the koran didn't say that, I would have been more than happen to quote it and explain that it does. Is the saying the truth about a religion offensive now because the religion is offensive?
Also though, people on this forum make similar ascertains about Christianity all the time, why do they not get banned as I have? It is because of one-sided, politically-correct moderating.
And just so you know, I think people are ignorant a lot of times when they say such things about Christianity (because I has actually read the Bible and know it is not true), but I do not get offended, and I do not report them. I discuss it with them. Looks like you can have discussion of islam though...unless it is about how best to praise it.
