Hi Nadine - You know what I am going to say now, of course.

>>Unfortunately Islam has more of them, and they are killing people much more energetically.

You know better than that. It is all too easy to classify all Muslims around the world as some sort of pyromaniac cavemen with a psychotic twist and an aversion to skyscrapers, but this is just not true.

The rise of Islamic fundamentalism over the past decade or so is due at large to the conditions Muslims around the world are living in - they are deliberately kept undereducated and in line through religion so they will not rise against their autocratic regimes. Besides, they see other Muslims around the world living in similar conditions of oppression. Unfortunately, the total aggregate of these conditions plays too well into the hands of religious fundamentalists.

You don't like religious fanaticism, and neither do I. What to do about it? Is there anyone out there who really believes they can eradicate all followers of Islam from the face of this planet, as Darren seems to think?

Someone must have a more workable solution.
