Ahh, I see where the confusion comes from. When I said all of Adam and Eve's children are fucked from original sin, I meant that from a religious/figurative sense. See, people of the book will argue that free will applies with their relationship with god. However, everyone who is born is already a sinner from the original sin from a biblical/religious standpoint. So no matter how pure and noble you are, you are tainted(fucked) by sin. The only one who wasn't is jesus. I don't mean that all islamojudeochristians are fucked, or fuckers, but that the trap of original sin is the tool employed by religious institutions as a catchall for why you need their doctrine.
BTW, it is not newman, it is new man.
And you did bring up a good point earlier, in that how do we prevent radicalization in the muslim world? The general model is young, uneducated single males, but Hasan obviously did not fit that mold. National Public Radio also talked about how the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks studied in the US for several years, achieving his BS in engineering. Most people feel that exposure to other cultures helps mediate people's viewpoints. but that did not work for Hasan or Maliki.
