I'm tired of all this  fighting, prejudice hating, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Black White Brown Red and Yellow. I'm tired, of all of it, every bit of it I don't understand why we all just can't  get along we're all different we all believe different none of us are better than other. CANCER AND DEATH sees us all EQUALLY. I'm tired of all of it.

I hate no one. I don't want to fight or kill anyone over their beliefs or not. Any peaceful person can be my neighbor or friend. 

I can talk to anyone peacefully about anything and agree to disagree. Most importantly I can peacefully move on.

Speaking as a non-Muslim who doesn't really care about the beliefs of others, I think of Muslims just like I think of anybody else. They are people who believe what the want because of how they were raised. Nothing more or less. We all pretty much belief what we do because of accident of birth and life experiences, so to me Muslims are just like anybody else.

I don't have a problem with Muslims in general. I've known many that are great people. I do, however, have a problem with those Muslims that wish to kill me because I'm not Muslim.

Religion has nothing to do with my judgement toward the people.

Every religion exists for the goodness, to give hope and calmness to people, to make them find confident and peace and spread kindness and so many more positive manners. Each religion somehow completes each other.

But unfortunately some stupid group of people from each religion exist as well. They make the whole world to find negative outlooks about other religions. We shouldn't let some particular people around the world define each religion.

We are all humans regardless of the background, skin colors or religions. I do have so many great friends from Muslim countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan ect . . .

But in the same time, i'm not religious that much, and personally i have my problems with the religion Islam, simply i don't like it's rules and behaviors. But it doesn't mean that i would hurt other feelings or disrespect how people believe. I'm okay as long as they don't bother me with their religious beliefs.

I'm hostile toward religion, in general.  Islam annoys me the most of major world religions.  Buddhism annoys me the least.  Religion just leads people to feel self-righteous and to think they have a right or even duty to mistreat people who don't agree with them.

Islam never teaches Muslims to mistreat with non-Muslims

You are just wrong about this. Islam condones the enslavement of non-Muslims. It also condones the sexual abuse of female slaves, including children. Review the passages on "those whom your right hands possess".
Mahnoor Ali Khan Yousufzai
Enslavement is only upon the captives of war and upon the slaves you buy. The holy Prophet used to buy slaves and free them and also the captives of war. Moreover, the founder of the Shafi'i madhabs also confirmed that stance:

If a man acquires by force a slave-girl, then has sexual intercourse with her after he acquires her by force, and if he is not excused by ignorance, then the slave-girl will be taken from him, he is required to pay the fine, and he will receive the punishment for illegal sexual intercourse.

— Al-Shafi'i, Kitabul Umm, Vol.3, p.253.
And Islam doesn't allow sexual abuse with children and free women.

In the same way that I have few opinions about Christians (or Muggletonians for that matter) I have no real opinions about Muslims.

The problem arises when bad things are done "in the name of Islam".

Equally bad things were done "in the name of Christ" in the past, and there were even sectarian killings in Belfast during "the Troubles".

Now, as then, right-thinking people of all religions (and none) should distance themselves from wanton acts of terror.

I do find it disturbing that a survey of young Muslim men in the UK found that over 30% of them refused to condemn the Charlie Hebdo attack. If that survey was accurate, we can look forward to serious problems going forward.

Scary stuff huh?

I really feel that Islam is living in their "Dark Ages" much like Christianity did. If you look at the history of Islam during the period between 800 and 1100 CE they advance the world in math, astronomy, medicine and many other sciences. Then came along this guy named AlJazali, that changed all that, and reinterpreted Islam, much the same as Augustine did for Christianity. Both of these men set their religions on a destructive path. During the Christian Dark Ages, Islam was advancing in science, I look forward to the renaissance of Islam. Unfortuanatly I see Evangelical Christianity tryiing to sink the Christian world back into the Dark Ages.

As a practical matter for me, I just see them as having a different culture from me.  (And there is a dab of cultural anthropology in my previous university studies.)

I guess I feel a little like a tourist when I involved with them---it's different and interesting .
