As I said before, England hung children for stealing bread in the 19th century. The Koran was written 12 centuries before that, So, isnt it time to 'upgrade' it? Unfortunately, if you lived amongst the muslims, you would realize that the vast majority of muslism still believe in koran as it interpreted by the fundamentalists. And any time a cry is raised 'islam is in danger' they will all rise to defend it. Look at all the muslims signing up to go fight in afghanistan and the many others who are demonstrating their support for OBL and against USA the great satan. And as far as the satanic writings in the chritian religion, no one practices them anymore and no one evn talks about them, at least not in big enuf numbers to matter. >i> Who knows what humans will be like 5000 years from now Hopefully people will have more intelligence than to believe and blindly follow some teachings that were written 6000 years back. but the fact is that we are a mongrel nation. This means that the passions and prejudices you brought with you from Iran will not pass on for very many generations And thankfully so. But thats because they will never come in contact with muslims who live in Iran. But what about the people who still live in Iran? What do you think their children will be influenced by? At this time our cause is being assisted by numerous Islamic nations. And I guess you believe these nations are assisting or supporting out of the goodness of their hearts? Do you know that even as Pakistan is supporting the US against OBL, there are terrorists groups who bombed a govt. bldg. in India killing 42 people. The terrorist group in Pakistan took credit for the bombing. Did Pakistan hand over the leader of that group? For that matter did the US insist that pakistan hand over teh leader of that group? Instead president Bush said that India and Pakistan should 'stand down' while we fight in Afghanistan. So much for ending terrorism around the world or the muslims fighting terrorism to show that their religion is not satanic. One needs to grow up and realize that selfishness is the one human trait that will take a lot of personal effort to eliminate or even diminish. And it is this selfishness that is driving some muslim countries to reluctantly offer their support to the US in Afghanistan.
