CAROL WROTE:

First of all, one might say that Islam was virtually the inventor of
religious tolerance, and for a thousand years while Jews were being
persecuted in Europe the Islamic countries provided a place of refuge
not only for Jews but for "hetetical" Christians. Most of whatever
culture medieval Europe possessed they owed to the Arabs and Islamic
culture. (Arabic numbers came from India, but it was the Arabs who
introduced them to europe.)


THE ABOVE IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS STATEMENT. ISLAM IS NOT AND NEVER WAS A
RELIGION OF TOLERANCE. ASK THE 100,000 HINDUS WHO WERE KILLED EVERY DAY IN
THE 14TH CENTURY AND BEYOND...

CAROL YOU FORGET - THAT MR. MACHO MOHUMMED SENT A LETTER TO KING OF PERSIA
SAYING : CONVERT OR DIE. IS THAT TOLERANT.
