There have always been radical religionists and Islam is no different. Islam needs to live up to its true meaning of love. We can't have assholes like Iran's leader or even America's leader, Bush in office because they use religion to their own advantage.

People are just fucken dumb and should realize the true meaning of religion.
Yes, yes, Christians killed in the name of God too. BUT, their is somewhat of a diffrence here that I see. Events such as the crusades happend because of crazy people, and by that I mean it was them themselfs that commanded these things. There is no passeges in the christain bible that condones the slaughter of a person just because of non-beliefe. The crusades were a horrible event and they were totally in the wronge. BUT, if you read even a few of the 160 some odd Holy war verses in the Koran, you can clearly tell where these radical muslims get their ideas. Here is just an example

[2.193] And fight with them (infidels) until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors.
[4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

These verses can easily be taken in a negetive way (thus the radical muslims) once a bible starts speaking of killing thoes who oppose its God, then things become sticky.

Another diffrence between the 12th Imam and the return of Jesus is that Jesus is to reign for 1000 years, after taking out the anti-christ and all his followers. The 12th Imam comes to reign for 7, creating peace during the start of his reign. He does this by basically "restoring" the earth to an all Islam state. Or at least, an all Islam ruled state. I'm not so sure how the Dijaul ties into muslim end time prophesies though...
