Wow there is just so much to tear apart here I just don't know where to start.
I'll leave the first couple of posts, I think it was established about the connection between faith and religion. So lets start here:

If god is so just and fair and all this bullshit ..... how would he deal with extremist muslems who 100% BELIEVE WAT THEY ARE DOING IS RIGHT BY THIER GOD they DONT KNOW NE DIFFERENT so how could god judge them for killing innocent people when wat they did in there own minds was completly right and true but then again wouldnt he have to judge them becos they BROKE the 10 COMMANDMENTS and NEVER asked for forgivness????
LOGIC GOTTA LOVE IT
Your post here kind of delves into quite a few issues that I am sure you are unaware of. It depends on which religion you talk about to what consequences would happen to that "extreme muslim", if it were Christianity, the general consensus is that he will go to hell but in saying that none of us are here to judge and only God knows where he will go, if it were Muslim, he would go to heaven and get 50 virgins or something. The thing is here, you actually have no idea about the Muslim religion and whether or not this is true. There are extremists in any faith/organisation/political party anywhere that take one snippet of something and take this as truth. Clearly these are flawed values as if you accept one part of something, it seems very hard to reject the rest. Furthermore, you also must have zero idea about the Christian faith as the ten commandments do not apply to this day and age, they were under what is called the old covenant (basically applied to those back in those times). People from Jesus' time onwards are under a new covenant that is a little different. That being said, the commandments stand, but under the old covenant if you broke one you could not go to heaven without sacrifices (or something etc can't remember 100%) whereas now we can repent and be forgiven due to Jesus' sacrifice.
So that was going off the point a little, but since you are just throwing stuff out there I thought I would correct you. Moving on now. The Muslim dude you were talking about being right in his own mind, well that doesn't always make it right either. If you think it is OK to steal, does that make it right? If you have to steal to feed your family because they are about to die, does that make it right? These are all questions that pertain to many different beliefs and ideologies such as Utilitarianism, Altruism and Hedonism etc. Now I won't bore you about what they are because it is actually quite a bit of reading and I take it you aren't the kind of guy who likes to read much. Basically what I am saying here is that no matter what you believe in, you are believing in something. Faith is always there behind whatever it is you believe albeit science, religion, politics etc and your arguments are not specifically against religion being flawed, it is about a certain view of something being flawed. When it comes down to your view vs someone else's view, there is no winner and only long debates. You cannot prove that my view is wrong and I cannot prove your view is wrong, we can only prove or disprove points on issues with each.
Moving on a little to your further post about blind = flawed, everyone has blind faith in something. Whatever you cannot prove 100% is faith in a form. Several years ago they thought the world was flat, does that mean the world was stupid and flawed because they believed in one thing that turned out later to be false? Same again with light where many thought it was a particle and others a wave when we found out it is actually both (and who knows what we may find it to be in the future). So I reiterate again, your argument is just a spiral of misunderstanding of the topic you are talking about. Read up on a few of these points I brought up in this epic wall of text and you may learn some interesting things :)
Cheers
