Addi,

Have you ever read the Bible? let me quote you from just one or two of very many:
Blasphemy is punished by death - LEVITICUS XXIV #16:
"And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him"

or, the punishment of a city that has strayed from God:

DEUTERONOMY XIII #16:
"Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword."

So God was not that loving and forgiving in those days was He?

Again, and I am getting tired of repeating myself, the problem with Islam is not what the Koran is saying. The problem is the interpretations it is getting from the Mullahs etc. who are trying to establish the same rules of behavior that were set for the nomads of the deserts 1400 years ago.

What I am saying is that the educated Muslims of the world must take the responsibility to prevent these Mullahs from taking charge, and confine them to the deserts where they belong.

You are absolutely right that some Islamic countries are currently controlled by these nuts (at least we have one less now in Afghanistan). Iran is probably the most dangerous one, as it is closer to owning nuclear capability. I hope our government realizes that Iran is the next potential world terrorist haven and takes steps to stop them.

This is what I think, and there are many others that think so.
