"I also read that the Quran (sp?) also encorages Muslims to kill Americans? I don't think that's true but what would such a statement from a seemingly intelligent person stem from?
For some reason, my quoting doesn't work. Anyways, no where does it tell Muslims to kill Americans. Was there even an America back then? We are taught to respect other's religions. Islam means peace. (It's Mohammed btw (PBUH))
