Life of Brian. The best Documentary every made. Certainly the most accurate portrayal of first century Judea ever made. Except that bit about the aliens. That was more postwar France.

True. They need to figure out the 99 names of god instead (that's one for the whole shebang and 7 groups of 7 paired concepts - that's how wrath and mercy are the same. No weirder than any other religion) Then there's the whole dual nature of jihad and the evidently ambiguous language about Jews, Christians, women, Wine, Song, and a host of other things. No more or less confusing and nonsensical than any other religion. Unfortunately I don't know enough about it to even try to figure out the 1% that's worthwhile (though I bet you it's somewhere in Sufism.)
