It's still hard to convince me that the problem with these ( obviously agressive ) guys is their religion.
I agree that there are countries in the middle-east that resemble the dark ages, both in poverty and in worldview.
But I still think that this is a cultural phenomena.
If passages from the Koran can be found that say that every Muslim has the right to smoke, and anyone without a light available must be stabbed, you will have convinced me.
I have 2 Moroccan friends. Moroccans are not that popular in the Netherlands.
I also have a Pakistani friend. All 3 are Muslim. The Pakistani even was a priest when he was younger.
They explained a lot to me about the Koran ( just found out about my Dutch spelling not being correct, in English it should be Qur'an ). Most things we don't like about Muslims are cultural, not dictated by the Koran.
You should check out this guy:
Rumi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
or maybe you would like this version better

Dschalal ad-Din ar-Rumi – Wikipedia
Please note: The Qur'an was EXACTLY the same then as it is now.
Unlike the Bible which has gone through numerous changes since then.
When reading verses from Rumi, it is very hard to maintain the same view on the Qur'an I think.
