First of all thank you for some personal insight and a well written statement.
I am not a great scholar - it is just that there is always this possibility to "legitimate" violence in the name of Islam. There are some "muslim" countries in which ppl are not that much indoctrinated with hatred - Morroco for instance or Bosnia or Russia.
But if you look at Pakistan, Iran, Saudi-Arabia and some other countries then you must see that there are some very crazy ppl with too much power.
In my opinion true justice can only be achieved if there is ONE LAW, which treats everybody equal regardless of gender and or religion. And in that regard the Sharia law has some really bad passages.
Some might argue if you dont agree with the Sharia Law you are no real Muslim...
I am a Christian Catholic but I don't agree with everything the Vatican says. I can say that gay people have the same rights as everybody else... ppl having aids may use condoms... I can differentiate between good and bad. And I believe in the teachings of Jesus. I mean it is impossible to behave like Jesus but in my opinion he is a great role model.
