The same goes for some of you people who have posted in this thread already. I've rarely, if ever, heard a positive come out of your mouths. If summarising, and essentially stereotyping muslims in such a negative manner isn't an example of intolerance and bitterness then I don't know what is. Maybe you wanna examine yourself before you go about judging other people as a whole?
My once-best friend who lives in another part of the country is a typical example of this kind of Muslim I have mentioned.
He's a muslim of pakistani origin and he used to be one of the coolest people I know - we've been friends for over twenty-five years.
However, as his interest in Islam has grown over the years, I have watched him grow from a decent happy-go-lucky guy into a biter, angry, disillusioned, and selfish individual who is incapable of giving other religions the respect they deserve.
A few years back he went out with a white catholic girl who wasn't particularly religious but he turned round to her and said if she wanted to marry him, she must convert to islam. Naturally the relationship broke up. I once asked him why he didn't convert to Christianity and he freaked out at me.
He has become more religious as the years have gone on and he now goes to the mosque all the time and does all the Ramadan shit and prays every night facing Mecca.
Has it made him a better person? I doubt it very much.
Incidentally, he actually gets married next March to a muslim girl (who is apparently more religious than he) - I have been invited to the wedding, so we'll see what that's going to be like.
