Friend, I do have to agree with the gist of Magnus's comments, in that the Muslims we see committing such atrocities in the name of their religion are really just as evil and sinful by the terms of their own religion (Islam) as the medieval "Christian" Crusaders sent out by Kings and Popes to wage war and commit atrocities against Muslims, Jews, and even fellow Christians in the Holy Lands. (One crusade even sacked Byzantium/Constantinople, a center of Orthodox Christianity at the time.) For a more recent example, look at the supposedly Christian-based KKK (*spit*). What makes it seem that Islam itself supports this Evil is the currently great number of extremist Islamic religious leaders (Wahabbists and others, both Sunni and Shi'ite) who command such large followings, especially such large armed groups committed to Jihad and terror. They are the most visible, but truly, they are Evil even by their own Book.

Well, since I do own and have read a huge chunk of the Quoron I'd have to say more than most of my fellow non-Muslim citizens. And thus I know much like "Christian" extremists killing people over abortion here in this nation those Muslims who kill other Muslims or Christians or Jews are committing a crime in their religion which specifically states that all three are People of the Word and this brothers and sisters to be treated as such. Saudi Arbia is indeed not a good nation and if we were really about freedom and such we'd stop be allies with them and see what we could do about removing the House of Saud from their ruling position, or the Earth I'm not particular. Bloody barbairians.

You know very little about Islam then, or its history. I do have one question for you. How many Christian churches are there in Saudi Arabia?

Extremists do not a religion nor a people make.
