You just can't resist pushing your barrow, can you?
Who said Islam means peace, anyway? All the muslims I grew up with were
careful to point out that "Islam" means "submission" and "Muslim" means
"slave"
Which they consider an appropriate stance to have before God. I'm not quite
sure where "freedom loving" enters into "relationship with god"
That being said, it bothers me.
