I dont think Pat Robertson has organised any major terrorist attacks that kill 1000's of civilians yet.
I never claimed that every religion did not have its extremists and its nutcases.... but this trait in Islam is out of control.
If you dont think that Saudi Arabia is a problem with regards to the treatment of women, I dont understand you.
If you think that there are Christian countries behaving in this way, I dont know them.
Sudan is NOT a one off. The Taleban are not one off's.
I am not claiming that the only villians in this world are Muslims, but Islam has twin problems - the alienation of Islamic youth from the globalised norm, and the growing connection of religion with violence and opression of women in Islam. These are serious.
I know quite a few Muslims, and this not a problem that the liberal side of Islam ignores or brushes off... its pretty funny that the Muslim Council of Britain has condemned the Sudanese people, and it is only middle class white liberals who are defending them and claiming the school teacher should be punished for "cultural insensitivity"
In the American internment camp where they hold Muslims without charge or protection of international or national law (Guatanamo Bay?) - one of the "tortures" that they use against Muslims is to urinate on a copy of the Qu'ran in their presence. This badly effects the prisoner, and causes utter outrage in Islamic countries.
I know many religious Christians. I cant imagine anyone particularly being anguished if someone urinated on a Bible.
