    @D#2 Khun NorDevil: If the good Muslims open their mouth they are automatically turned into infidels and apostates and will be killed by the ignorant simple minds who are brainwashed by radical Muslims.

    Religions are control system, nothing more, nothing less!

    Religions please die already.

    Yours sincerely,
    The future of mankind..

    They say that it is " bad " muslims that kill others . . . . but what are all the so called " good " muslims doing to stop it ? NOTHING ! Religions is said to be about Gods love for all people yet one certan religion kills women for wearing thw rong cloths.Kills teachers because they want their own country and try to kill others for drawing a few pictures.If a person from an other religion try to say this wrong he/she is called a racist and put on a hitlist.It is time for the so called " good " muslims to do something to stop all this and to show that their religion is about respect and love for all.
