That wasn't a statement directly to you, it was for anyone who was looking to stir up something.
You never hear about an American citizen who happens to be Muslim speaking out against terrorism because the media does not want you to. The current trend that they have found to be profitable is Islamic Terrorism. It's a way to stir up racial tensions, as well as religious, which always breeds violence and returns healthier profits to them. I personally spoke out against terrorism with my pen and my rifle. I spent 7 hours signing the contract, and the next 5 years fighting and killing these bastards.
To answer your first, second and third questions: Yes, Sharia law is a bastardization of the truth. It is a personal agenda. At the dawn of the millenium, there were no police, no soldiers and no citizens on patrol. It simply didn't happen and being the weaker of the two sexes, women were often raped, beaten and murdered simply because they couldn't fight back. Things were so bad that even Muhammed (PBUH) carried a sword. The veil was originally (as best as anyone can guess) used to conceal women's looks so that a man did not covet what was not his to covet. The same goes for not leaving the house without a man, it was a security issue. But sadly women are not always treated equally, and it is still recent history even in this country, where women did not get to vote until the 1970s. Just like you have baptists, lutherans, catholic, evangelical lutherans, protestants, greek orthodox etc etc, we have Shi'a, Sunni, Wahhabi, Sufi, Ahmaddyya (<----the last one is crap, just sayin.) and so on, but there are rotten apples in each individual denomination. 99.9999999999% of the people are average everyday good people, but there is always that .0000000001% of the population that does not understand reality from paranoid delusional violent ****** up murdering. What we need to watch out for are actual terrorist organizations who use religion as a front. And we already know who they are. Will some cease to exist while other new ones pop up? Yes, but that is true with all terrorist groups. Look at how long the British have been fighting the Protestant vs. Catholic terrorism. The media stopped reporting on it almost 15 years ago, but the IRA is alive and well and blowing up British soldiers, police, and innocent civilians, all in the name of religion. As andey said, Christians are quick to distance themselves from Westboro, but quick to lump all Muslims in together with that 1 gazillionth (and declining, Hooah!) of a percent that are extremist. The same is true for Islam, but nobody is listening to us. It's not a religious problem, it's a people problem. Mental illness breeds ill will.
I appreciate the questions, you're one of the few who actually want to know the truth. Instead of screaming "terrorist!" I wish people would ask questions. If you have questions, you can call your local Islamic center. Those are kind of like community centers for Muslim faithful. And before opspec aka mckee gets started on the "Muslim only zones" garbage, our kids deserve somewhere safe to play as well. If there wasn't a constant threat of violence and murder against our children for an offense we and they did not commit, then we wouldn't have them.
FWIW, I worry too. Al Qaeda is funneling thousands of terrorists our way while Obama intentionally turns his back. (And the reason does not have to do with religion...he is a communist, he will say he is whatever religion you want to hear as long as you vote for him.) I've seen enough death, I have no wish to keep fighting.
