1. NoKnowing that some people in RF does not have a good view on muslims.
I was wondering.
1. Do you see every muslims as evil?
2. Do you see every muslim ad a terrorist?
3. How much do you actually know about Islam? And how much do you listen to news organizations and believe their covetage of islam?
2. No
3. I know enough to know that you only need a sizeable enough minority of wicked people to get away with a whole lot of killing and oppression, and that most of the oppression in Islam in my opinion comes from hadith which in my opinion can't be disproven without a historical Muhammad to use as a yardstick for refutation of the hadith in question.
As to the extent to which I believe mainstream media sources about Islam - I would have to say that mainstream media as opposed to fringe media is in my opinion usually able to back up the claims in their news reports with evidence, so I would encourage you to take the time to question their sources rather than dismiss them out of hand without adequate investigation.
