Submission to the will of Allah though, not submission to other people. It is not about being slaves, it is about being humble and appreciative of being allowed to be alive. Submission can of course be a good thing, as much as it can be a bad one. Submit to the fact that there are things we can't control. Submit to the fact that there are things we can control, but we should not. And what you are left with is the things you can and should control.
Islam is misunderstood and demonized nowadays, but it is untrue and part of an agenda of misinformation. It is "divide and conquer' bullshit.
I have met many Muslims, may be a few hundred, and have yet to meet one who is dangerous or hateful.
And yes, I think Adrian did tip over a little there. It is like the Hitler argument in the sense that you can't blame a man's beliefs (or especially others who share similar beleifs) for his own shortcomings. If an Atheist is bound to be responsible for his own actions, so is a Theist.
I don't let god be an excuse, you disbelievers certainly should not as well.
