text: I will believe that Islam is not a violent terrorist religion when the following happen:\n\n* Muslims can find their way to believe other religions without being condemned to death.\n* Crowds of gun-toting men do not celebrate terrorist acts against America, Israel, Europe, or India.\n* Muslim nations agree to Israel's right to exist peacefully without the threat of annihilation from its neighbors.\n* Palestinians are respected as people and given state assistance rather than being condemned to refugee camps by the same Arab nations who claim to support them.\n* Westerners are no longer kidnapped and beheaded.\n* Young men and women no longer wrap themselves in explosives in the delusional belief that suicide and murder will be rewarded in the afterlife.\n* Women are allowed divorce rights without losing their children.\n* Women are allowed to drive and to pursue careers.\n* Women are considered people and not chattel to their husbands.\n* Muslims are allowed, and even encouraged, to think for themselves and embrace individualism.\n\nUntil then, it doesn't matter what the Koran may say in theory.  Actions matter.  And actions in the US, the UK, Spain, Indonesia, Turkey, Tanzania, Kenya, Israel, Egypt, France, and India make it clear that Islam is a culture of violence and murder.  If this is not true, it's incumbent on every Muslim in the world to stand up and fight those who besmirch their name.
