Yeh, be good to your neighbour, unless he's an infidel, in that case make him a dhimmi and force him to pay the jizyah in humiliation... You already know all this though sprint don't you? Why you even bothering to still ask?

Look I realise that some just want to hate a religion different to their own, and I am not actually targeting anyone from these forums with that comment, but many actually hoped that the negative messages they had heard about Islam, could be refuted, by muslims that actually know.

Well I was one of the latter, as Grendel will attest from our disagreements over the matter on cracker, but I just do not see any muslim putting any fears to rest.

All the aspects that decent, non-muslims, find troubling, are unable to be contradicted, or effectively denied, to any level of credibility.

The best we get is that, "we only do that stuff when at war"

Now with the number of crackpots describing themselves as at war, this is not very reassuring.
