Ok, first off I'm not a Muslim..I hold no negative opinions of Islam, but I am a Christian and happy as one.
Second, I have some questions about Islam.
I've recently returned from Iraq, and I've heard literally hundreds of stories within' the Army and elsewhere about the "Evils of Islam" so I figured that I would be stupid to take them all to heart without ever even asking a Muslim about them. If I offend someone, its not my intention, I'm just looking for answers.
#1. Does Islam in any aspect tolerate a husband striking his wife?
#2. Does Islam in any aspect advocate conquering non-Islamic states and forcing the populations of those states to convert to Islam or die?
#3. Does Islam condone genital mutilation of females?
#4. Does Islam condone the killing of a rape victim?
#5. Does Islam, in any aspect, condone violence? If so, when is killing acceptable in the eyes of Islam?
These are basically the things I've heard that have bothered me most. Like I said, I'm not here to offend anyone, I just want to know.
The website is titled "Correcting common misconceptions' after all.
Thanks.
