Here we go again. This is an extremely tense time for the world and espeically Islam. If you say anything about Islam that can be deemed to be of a derogatory nature then be prepared for anything... and by saying that i am not saying that free speech should be abandoned, but for a highly charged situation and such a sensitive religion now was not the best time to make these comments.

Those are pretty harsh remarks, not surprised he's getting heat from them. It sounds like something an Islam extremist might say about Christianity. Even on this forum, I think most people know better than to make massive generalizations about the entirety of Islam. Interesting that he's now trying to distance himself from the remarks by saying he was just quoting someone else. That may be so, but when you say that the text you are quoting is the truth about Islam (as he implied), then it's as bad as saying it yourself.
