Most Muslims aren't killing people. The terrorist threat was non-existent till fairly recently after we established bases in their holy land. You are judging a religion based on their extremists.
But just remember that every religion has those. Every religion has been used (most) to justify the murder of many many people. Calling the Bible innocent is stupid.
Heck, even the Hindu religion was used as a reason to kill Muslims in India. It isn't billions btw.. Frankly? Religion is retarded and just gives people excuses for doing horrible things.
You still haven't responded to the fact that hundreds of millions of Muslims are peaceful. Reading the Koran is tricky, you need to disregard a lot of passages. Why?
The Koran was not a one time deal. It was edited several times, each time they set a rule where the latest passage overrides the other. The problem is that a lot of those super violent passages were written by political reasons by men who probably just saw God as something to exploit.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
