    It is amazing to me how different the views are. One on side you got Westerner apologists whose knowledge of Islam is what they half remember from a video they saw on YouTube ten years ago on the other hand you have the Taliban. Both sides claim to know what real Islam is about. Well sorry not sorry I am going to believe the people who live with the Koran vs you.

    You know good Muslims? I do as well. Does that make the tenents of Islam good? I don’t think so. Does that make them true? Nope. All you can really say is that you know people who aren’t following their own religion and as a result they are good people.
