→Split criticism on Islam into two sections: one on the doctrine of Islam in the Qur'an, and one on the corrupted version of Islam known as Jihadism: new section
While Islam certainly has parts that are very objectionable to Judeo-Christian society and Western society today, it needs to be remembered that the Islamist terrorists are practicing a corrupt anti-Semitic version of Islam that denies to tell to its followers that the Quran recognizes Moses and Jesus as a prophet and that Islam was founded as an Abrahamic faith. Islam has been highly corrupted by Arabic and Turkish warlords who used it to justify imperial expansion for their selfish goals. Islamist terrorists probably don't even know that Jesus is a prophet in Islam, "Islam" is just a word by the terrorists to justify their anti-Semitic views of Jews and Christians. There are moderate Muslim conservatives in America's Republican Party today, see here: [http://www.muslimrepublicans.net/].--[[User:TheQuestioner|TheQuestioner]] 19:19, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

== Split criticism on Islam into two sections: one on the doctrine of Islam in the Qur'an, and one on the corrupted version of Islam known as Jihadism ==
The terrorists responsible for the 9-11 attacks were [[Jihadism|Jihadists]] - a corrupted version of Islam preaching anti-Semitic and anti-Christian bigotry that ignores that the Qur'an itself is an Abrahamic faith that mentions [[Moses]] as well as [[Jesus]] as a prophet, though not the son of God.
There are legitimate criticisms of Islam in its non-corrupted form, such as its repressive attitudes towards women, its allowance of polygamy, and its longstanding paranoia towards threats to Islam by other religions, even in the Prophet Mohammed's days.
The bigotry by Muslim Arabs to Jews that has spread to other Muslim societies like Muslim Iranians, is the result of Arab nationalist bigotry - not even directly associated with Islam. Arab nationalism arose in the 20th century in opposition to British imperial rule, because the British allowed Jews from outside to settle in what is now Israel, Arab nationalists blamed Jews as tools of British imperialism and vicious anti-Semitism exploded. Arabs and Jews are both ethnically Semitic peoples who in the past had far less tensions before the rise of Arab nationalism and Jihadism. Certainly Muslim Arabs like the Prophet Mohammed believed that Jews and Christians should be aggressively pressured to abandon their faith and join Islam, but Muslim Arabs back then wanted to assimilate Jews, as a fellow Semitic people with a related faith, into Islam.
So as I've said above, we need to split our criticisms into one section on criticism of the doctrine of Islam and another section on Jihadism - the corrupted version of Islam based on anti-Semitic and anti-Christian bigotry.--[[User:TheQuestioner|TheQuestioner]] 11:54, 4 August 2012 (EDT)
