And you are wrong about what "our" problem with Islam is.
It is a diseased mental illness passing itself off as a "religion," which standing alone may not be of much concern to me or most folks.
But part of the mental illness of that diseased scumbag religion is that it calls upon its adherents to do evil shit in the name of "Allah." Thankfully, I do not require a "by your leave" to address what they do.
Muslims may be, by and large, plenty good enough people. But their religion is a cancer.
Hi IM: it's the factor of "unforgiveness" that causes mental imbalance and illness.
And yes, when Muslims or Christians or anyone mixes "unforgiveness" with religious
justification, then this get out of hand, and can easily become either abusive, cultish, oppressive and/or violent.
You are right that there is a problem teaching Islam or ANY religion without teaching "forgiveness" along with that. If you look at all cases of mental or criminal illness, crime or violence, there is the issue of unforgiveness, where people take past issues, project that BLAME on to some other person or group, and in the case of religion justify making others pay with judgment and punishment as retribution. None of that chain of escalation would occur if the root cause was forgiven in the first place.
