It seems to me that Muslims living in the 3rd world are the very craziest, least predictable people on earth though. That's just my opinion and I sincerely hope that I haven't offended anyone.

The USA has its share of religious kooks, so I wouldn't be so quick to condemn Muslims. Off the top of my head:
- Waco (6 dead)
- Heaven's Gate cult (39 dead)
- Jim Jones (400 dead)
Take a good look in the mirror before you condemn a whole culture. I'd say that the USA is one of the more fanatical nations. Look at the highly placed officials like Ashcroft pushing a religious agenda, or that general in Iraq saying that the muslims are following Satan.
