>>>Islam teaches that Muslims must wage war to impose Islamic law on non-Muslim states.<<<


What's your reference to that? Rush Limbaugh? I can't find anything that confirms what you're saying but I found this:


Q: What is jihad?

A: Jihad does not mean "holy war." Literally, jihad in Arabic means to strive, struggle and exert effort. It is a central and broad Islamic concept that includes struggle against evil inclinations within oneself, struggle to improve the quality of life in society, struggle in the battlefield for self-defense or fighting against tyranny or oppression.

Q: What does Islam say about Christianity?

A: Islam teaches that Christians and Muslims are both "people of the book." By that it means that the two religions share the same basic beliefs articulated through the Bible and the Koran. The main difference between Christians and Muslims is that Muslims do not believe that Jesus was the son of God. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet who was granted special powers by God to show people the power of God.

Q: How does Islam view terrorism?

A: Islam does not support terrorism under any circumstances. Terrorism goes against every principle in Islam. If a Muslim engages in terrorism, he is not following Islam. He may be wrongly using the name of Islam for political or financial gain.

Q: Does Islam tolerate other beliefs?

A: Yes. It is one function of Islamic law to protect the privileged status of minorities. Islamic law also permits non-Muslims to set up their own courts, which implement family laws drawn up by the minorities themselves.

>>>What do you think we should do, just let them kill us if we don't covert?<<<


First off, the premise of your question is bogus and secondly, I've already asked you this but I ask again: How will you pacify the small portion of muslims that does believe in violence by waging war against entire muslim nations? This is what you're promoting so I assume you can explain why it's such a great strategy.
