The fact is that you want to send muslims back to the 7th century and your motives are no different from osama, and quite frankly, they are very violent.

When have I ever said that I want Muslims to go back to the 7th century. If you read my posts you will see that I want Muslims to educate themselves and surpass the west in technical fields; I want the Muslims to unite and protect themselves from the in-dignity imposed on them by the west. I want the Muslims to implement the laws and freedom mentioned in the Quran. What's wrong with that?

There are those that stand to loose from a cooperation that would exist if the muslim world lives peacefully with the rest of the world, and you are one of them.

Muslims have lived and will continue to live in peace with their non-Muslim neighbors as long as they are respected. Don't forget Islamic history. Those running around calling Islam barbaric should go and read their western history books. The period between 700 A.D. and 1500 A.D. does not exist in the minds of Europeans. As if the world never existed in that time period. Well, let me tell you. It was a great time in history. And if the Muslims were such barbarians then how come sizeable Christian and Jewish communities still exist till this day in the Islamic world. After 800 years of Islamic rule in India, Muslims are still the minority. After 600 years of Islamic Spain, Muslims don't even exist there. Why didn't the Muslims just wipe out Christians and Hindus from Spain and India?
Co-operation exists when both parties trust and respect one another. I ask you, does Europe consider Islam and Muslims as equals and do they respect us? Listen to their leaders about letting Turkey join the E.U. I only see the same feelings they had during their crusader and colonial periods.
Yes, Muslim countries have great problems. We are being run by ruthless dictators and kings. Extremists are using our religion to further divide us and giving wrong impression of Islam to the rest of the world. Muslim countries are generally un-educated and hence act as such. Still, this does not give the west the right to treat Muslims like animals.
We are trying to change ourselves, but this will take time. In the meantime, we will continue to take note of how the great western powers treated us during this time.

One day you say Christians and all other non-Muslims are enemies of Islam, the next day you say America is the enemy of Islam. What are you suggesting, we wipe out every living non-muslim?

I don't say it but your beloved Chritians in Euorpe and American's say it. First colonialism, now war on terror and invasion of Iraq. When will you realize it, when the Stars and Stripes is flying in Mecca and Medina?

P.S. Great Move by the Bosnians, apparently they are not as narrow minded as some other Muslims.

Bosnians are not narrow minded. They were raped and killed in a war by the Serbs; Muslim nations deserted them by not helping them; Europe told them to accept their Serb masters and choose whether to live or die.
Bosnians have chosen to live like a jackal for 100 years than like a lion for 1 day.
