That's not a defining element of their culture; if it was, all islamic states would have declared a Jihad against ALL other cultures on the planet.

Also, every culture is unique; American Culture is different than British culture, just like Palestinian culture is probably different than Iraqi culture. It seems to me as if you talk as if you live in Planet PickACulture, where it's alright to stamp out anything you deem intolerable.

BTW, Islam does not promote itself by killing other, nor does any other modern religions of the world.

Edit: Minor grammatical error

Another Edit: I'm pushing this towards an OT discussion. I'll stop replying further.
