X the Unknown. You said...." Mankind has a lot of enemies. I'd say some of the fanatical Muslims qualify, but so do fanatical Jews. and Hindus, and Christians. Be afraid."....

Agreed. Religious fanatics are a danger to any civilized society but at the moment it is islam fanatics that are the biggest problem.

As for the article you posted this hale guy sounds truly despicable and as suggested there appears to be similarities between his cult and that of islam. However they are at this time only 80,000 strong and could do a lot of damage to innocent people but they are not the threat to the civilized world that islam is.

The one big difference that I see between hale and his cult and islam apart from size, is that islam has no concerns about race so islam is not a racist cult. Maybe this is one of the reasons why they have been successful in recruiting a billion and a half people. Also a good portion of the islam cult is for the most part uneducated or born into islam and really have no choice in the matter.
Anyway IMO both are a sick cult and will have to be dealt with at some point. But the hale cult sounds sicker to me because of the fact they are supposed to be well educated people. Democracy may some day...soon... regret ever having freedom of religion. It permits the teaching of hate by some so called religions.

As for this statement...." We tend to forget that stoning to death is never mentioned in the Koran "...

I am not sure about this but will try to find out. We do know though that stoning is done by islam today.
