    The Islam religion is a decent denomination as all are, the meaning is Brothers and Sisters

    of all denominations, shouldn't exibit violence and destruction even deaths and maiming of our

    fellow men, women and children over an insult from a film. I felt the islamic people couldn't be

    so wicked as to show such immaturirty. Your religion, I feel, is one of might, strength, love,

    peaceful natured as well as wisdom. The destrutive nature of the nefarious people are only

    trouble makers and smearing the Islamist good name. I am agnostic but I don't judge any

    religion of any denominations. The people I've known who are Islams are decent and kind

    folks, simple life and hopes to build a place in the world not to hate other religions but to

    learn of them, which may be the key as to our reason of exisistance in the world.
