Torus, I liked your reply to Amein's Ever wonder post. Compare to mine (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=16441483) yours went a bit further in explaining things. You state: > ...I am comparing the fundamentalist* Islamic body of thought...* I really wished people would drop the word fundamentalism and non-fundamentalism when referring to Islam's teachings. There are no "fundamantlism", and "non-fundamentalism" - there is one - and only one - Islam based on the teachings of the book Koran. However, having said that, there are those who are trying to distance themselves from those teachings by "sanitizing" the religion, and in the evolutionary process of doing this they refer to themselves as non-fundamentalists. This is mainly because they are afraid of their own safety for which in the totaleterian system of Islam where there is no line between the state and the church, anyone who questions the teachings of Koran is subject to death. For example, you and I, are already viewed as "Kafars" (i.e. unbelievers) and it is the duty of a genuine moselm to kill us in the most horrific manner for which he would be doing Allah a favor! if you start getting into understanding this religion (in its present form based on Koran's teachings) you will become so depressed and so sad you wonder why God made human beings in such a manner to make one another suffer, You wonder why... Regards,

Torus, you wrote "but I'm afraid you have profoundly insulted me..." if I have truly insulted you, or anyone else, I truly apologize for that... I never meant it to be that way... by the way, how on earth did my post manage to do that ? the "ever wonder" post was an email I received ... and it has a lot of generalizations which no one can refute... the rest of your post my friend, oh well...I did not read much further ... I am not going to dwell on your concept of education... good luck... regards amein alsuezi
