All I can say is no religion is 100% pure and devoid of evil.

Catholic Inquisition, Mormon Mountain Meadows Massacre, Muslim/Islamic Fundamentalists/Extremists...

Crazy people are just bloody crazy.. regardless of religion. Just some crazy people are able to get a bunch of idiots to follow said crazy person and do crazy crap.

Nobody can really claim a "higher" chair here. I've known plenty of good, decent people from all sorts of religions. I served in Iraq for 2 years and met plenty of Iraqi's that loved us over there.. for the most part they were no different than anyone else. Just a bunch of people that live in a country formally ruled by a cruel and malicious dictator; and now suffer at the hands of the remaining "extremists".

I agree with PB in that most of us here are Above-Average IQ; decent; hard working people that are perfectly fine as human beings .. and while you may attribute your "goodness" to your faith or religion that certainly doesn't mean the rest of us AREN'T "good" because we used an alternate method.

For the most part.. this forum has plenty of Fine folk and are not the problem in any of the respective religions (or lack there-of.) And as someone that has both lived in muslim areas and even OWN a Qur'an purchased IN a middle east country (it has both arabic and english translations side-by-side) and I have actually read it; and the King James Bible; I can say that there are plenty of perfectly fine Muslim people. The Qur'an has plenty of dark parts.. but it's not like Revelations had everyone smiling and loving life; or that God didn't send Joshua to slaughter a town (Jericho); including women and children.

Sure.. there's biblical justification for all the darker parts in both books.. but if you are to condemn one; you should condemn all; or none at all.

I'm more with the latter.. I don't condemn any of them flat out.. I just condemn the people that take it "too far"; so to speak.
