everyone who responded to this thread who wasn't a complete moron usually posts in the political forum anyway.
it seems to me that your grandmother considers herself a nationalist and a patriot, but maybe doesn't have quite as broad of a world view as you do. regardless, you always have a right to make your opinions known, especially around family. whether they agree or disagree, family remains so.
i disagree with you about Islam being, at heart, a religion of peace. i think that, since its founding, many Muslims have grown peaceful. in the days of Mohammed, however, violence, conversion at swordpoint, and bloody expansionism were all preached as the will of Allah (in a fundamentally different way than Christianity).
