					<description><![CDATA[In response to Don Franck&#039;s response. Obviously Don&#039;s knowledge of Islam and the prophet (peace be upon him) is very very incorrect.
I ask that you get to know Prophet Muhammed before you decide

					<description><![CDATA[In response to Don Franck&#039;s posting, I find his (opinions) conclusions a little absurd and unfounded. It is rather unfortunate to read such words considering the violent histories of both Christianity and Islam. Once again, he may be referring to Islamist Extremists, but to say this of Islam in general and as a whole is upsetting - because if we look at Christian acts of extremism (which we never do) we could come to the same (although uneducated) conclusions about Christianity. I would argue that Muslims are great and intelligent people, and that followers of the Quran do not deserve such remarks left by Mr. Franck above.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s great to see one of our own professors, Dr. Laremont, performing in such a role, and it goes to show us all the caliber of the professors we have here at Binghamton University. I have learned a lot from Professor Laremont, and I am glad (and thankful) to say that I will be doing an independent study under his direct supervision during my last semester here at Binghamton. His work has always related 100% to the areas I have been interested in during my political science studies, and that has helped me enjoy my time and studies at BU ten times more. I believe, because of Professor Laremont, I will now pursue attending graduate school so that I can one day be an expert like he is! Thanks Dr. Laremont!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Having read the Koran I came away with conclusions based on that and other reading and also talking to Moslems.

In summary I concluded that Islam is not a religion, it is a way of life and an invention by Mohammed and his clerical followers to control people and perpetuate their power. 

1. Mohammed and his clerical followers created the Koran simply for personal power to control people and further their own power. For instance, every other power center, versus Islam&#039;s clerical power,  has been removed by the Koran,. ie, No bank interest, subjugated women, no alcahol, praying 5 times a day, justification for the elimination of competing religions,and the use of Sharia law to control people.. 

2. Mohammed was personally a violent and paranoiac individual with little if any moral scruples.  

3. Islam under the clerical fanatics had expanded all the way from the Middle east to Spain and into France until in 714 Charles Martel threw them back. They were also beaten at the sea battle of Lepanto in about the 1400&#039;s.  They expanded into the Balkans until confronted by the Christians. In short they have a kinder appearance while they consolidate power and justify violent takeover afterward.  Their intention is to convert the world to Islam run by unelected Clerics who use Sharia Law to control people. Sharia law is the antithesis of Democracy and Western Culture.   

4. Islam is a danger to world harmony and particularly Democracy.
