Here are some examples of the evil and wickedness promoted by Islam:
Militants Kill Christian Teenagers For Reading Bible, Missionary Says
Suspected Islamic militants have killed two Christian teenagers who were reading the Bible in the disputed Kashmir valley, divided between India and Muslim Pakistan.
They were "brutally murdered" by at least three fighters of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan based Islamic militant "terrorist" group, a local missionary explained. [source - retrieved from www.religionnewsblog.com/free-religion-headlines-ticker-for-your-web-site on 2/8/2011]
Somali Mother of Four Slaughtered for her Faith

Al Shabaab insurgents control much of southern and central Somalia and have embarked on a campaign to rid the country of its hidden Christian population. » [source - retrieved from www.religionnewsblog.com/ on 2/8/2011]
Pakistani churches criticize government’s refusal to amend blasphemy law
Churches in Pakistan have expressed frustration over the government’s refusal to amend a controversial blasphemy law, as urged by the Pope and protesting civil rights activists.
“We are disappointed by the stand taken by the Prime Minister,” said Joseph Francis, director of CLAAS (Centre for Legal Aid Assistance & Settlement), which has defended dozens of Christians and Muslims charged under the law. » [source - retrieved from from www.religionnewsblog.com/ on 2/8/2011]
Police chief: Threat of attack on France hits peak

PARIS – France is facing a "peak" terror threat, and authorities suspect al-Qaida's North African [] affiliate of plotting a conventional bomb attack on a crowded target, the national police chief said Wednesday.
The warning from National Police Chief Frederic Pechenard came on the eve of national protests that unions hope will send millions into city streets, and was the latest warning in a recent drumbeat from French officials that the public needs to be more alert about terrorism.
"France is today under threat. For that matter, French people need to get used to it," he told Europe-1 radio. "We're now facing a peak threat that can't be doubted. There is a specific threat against French interests."
"We have serious indications, coming from reliable intelligence, saying that there's an important risk of an attack," he said, adding that al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, "is targeting us in particular."
Last week, there was a false bomb alert at the Eiffel Tower, and investigators are looking into an anonymous phone call that prompted police to evacuate the most-visited monument in the tourism-oriented country.
AQIM claimed responsibility for last week's abduction of five French nationals and two Africans in northern Niger. Pechenard said the group isn't thought to have the means to launch a nuclear or biological attack in France, but could carry out assassinations or attacks using conventional explosives.
"In order to do the maximum possible damage (such an attack) would be likely to happen in a place where there are lots of people, which could be the public transit system, a department store or a gathering," Pechenard said.
…
France suffered waves of deadly terrorism by Islamic radicals in the 1980s and 1990s, and successive governments responded by strengthening the country's counterterrorism arsenal.
Police officials say that policy has paid off: At a time when other Western countries like Spain, Britain and the United States have faced large-scale terrorism over the last decade, France hasn't been hit at home since 1996.
Let's face it, the real problem is that Islam has never cleaned house of the imams and sheiks that back Al Qaeda and the Taliban. A good example was the Red Mosque imam in Pakistan where the government actually did the job. True, no religion can prevent the infiltration of evil ones who promote violence, pedophilia, and other evil things, but they can take action after these evil ones are found out. The Anglican and Catholic churches for example have a very large pedophilia problem, but they are only half halfheartedly taking action against it. All religions should take immediate steps to throw out evil ones from their religion - call it excommunication, shunning, disfellowshiping, or what ever, but just do it. Doing or not doing the necessary cleaning is one thing that differentiates between a religion striving to meet Almighty God's (YHWH's) requirements, and one that is NOT.
