Well, in my vocabulary -and the vocabulary of any sane person-, evil would only mean "taking what is not yours".
Plain and simple.
Examples :
1-Taking my life ? that's evil.
2-Taking my cash ? that's evil.
Etc.

Extend your mind, to realize, that Muslims do not have to be Sunnies or Shia.
Don't bring me a video; instead read the source -Quran-, and fetch me a verse that says : "kill those who commit apostasy"; that's closer to a reasonable case, if you get the verse; I mean.

Quote:In olden times, particularly the time of the Salaf, apostasy was seen as treason, hence you had the Apostate Wars, but then, for a while, the Muhammadans were actually better than Christians in terms of tolerance. It's only recently, with the rise of the cultural hegemony of the al-Saud family that you have these Fascists killing people all the time. Blame the Americans for supporting the spread of violence and intolerance around the world.
It was a religious world after all; kings and warlords never hesitated to use religion to rule; killing an apostate was a very effective way to element political foes.
And sadly, until this day this mentality of using religion to "divide and conquer" still exists. Ironically, I agree with Lenin on this one; that religion is an opium; though I believe that "forged religion" is the opium, under the Quran, people can never be led like cattle; it's what I believe.
