  1. While I agree that racism can be a serious problem, I think it is important to note that issues regarding different belief systems are not based on racism, but rather on values. Have you read the Quran & Hadith? A Muslim, regardless of whether they are considered to be 'moderate' or not, is commanded to emulate Mohammad, the 'prophet & messenger of Allah' no less than 92 times in the Quran. Mohammad is considered to be the 'best example of mankind' and his perfect example is completely relevant for Muslims today. This is absolutely integral to Islam. If a Muslim denounces Mohammad or refutes this teaching, they are not Muslim & would not claim to be Muslim, or be allowed to claim they are Muslim. So to understand what being a Muslim is, you simply need to study the life of Mohammad. Many Muslims are embarrassed by the fact that Mohammad married Aisha when he was 51 yrs of age & Aisha was 6 yrs of age & that he had sexual intercourse with her when she was 9 yrs of age. Muslims find many ways to 'make' this acceptable such as claiming girls in the desert in 600 AD matured earlier than they do today, or that Aisha was an 'exceptional human being' or it was only okay because it was the prophet. Regardless of these claims, Under Sharia, the law under Islam in an Islamic state, sexual intercourse is permissible with prepubescent little girls & sexual gratification is also permissible with infants.
