Not OP, but I've thought about this a lot recently. I really recommend Thomas Carlyle's perspective on Mohammed (you can find it in his classic On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History). He specifically left out Christ because he was decidedly not Christian, and this was published in the 1840's.

But his take on Mahomet, as he spells it, really led to me appreciating, understanding, and respecting Islam more. I respect Islam the way I respect wolves and bears. I don't believe they can truly co-exist with us, but I think it would be a shame to see them go.

It seems if you look at the Koran logically, there's two conclusions you have to draw:

  1. Anyone who truly believes this is the word of God, and obeys it, cannot live in a modern western nation.

  2. Anyone who can live peaceably in a western nation while believing this is the word of God is a hypocritical coward.

    I'm not too bothered by cowardly, hypocritical "pick and choose what you want to follow" types because they're not dangerous, but frankly I respect them less than those willing to die for their beliefs.

    And if those people have to be prevented entering our country to keep out the true believers then I don't think we'll have lost anything, considering their spineless natures.
