You say you're a Christian and I know you're well aware that Christianity has it's own bucketful of nuts just like Islam. The difference is you keep hearing about the nuts in Islam. I know a lot of Muslims and none of them act like this nor do they condone it. Get off the high horse. After all....believing in "intelligent design" is pretty damn nutty as well. The only issue is that Islam and much of the Middle East happens to be socially where Europe (well..parts of Europe...don't forget it was only about a decade or so ago that Serbs were slaughtering everyone else for similar reasons) was about 800 years ago. Humans are capable, and would be better off, evolving socially without religion. There has been more hate and violence perpetrated in the name of religion than anything else in human history. Maybe its time to write it off as a failed experiment? Ya know Joey the slamming of Islam is a bit old.
