Mary,

My 'thesis' is that there is a problem in Muslim society and I thinks it stands up to any kind of scrutiny, and its not a guess.

Whether this has anything to do with Islam as a religion is an entirely separate issue.

Dogma, core beliefs and practices create big differences.

Examples:
Did Jim Jones defile Christianity with his cult, did his actions slime all of us? Did Christian belief lead him to violence or was he simply an aberrant individual who in another society would have sone something equally bizarre?

As a committed secular atheist - Josef Stalin presided over the murder and extermination of whole societies. Are secularists inherently evil?

If our society was producing dozens of Jim Jones per year we might want to reconsider lots of things about our morals and ethics. And this would have nothing to do with Christs teachings or the Bible, but with the circumstances producing these types. If we had religious schools producing the violent preachers, we might want to look at what was happening there.

John
