Zeev..good points... I know that Christianity had their share of outright kooks. Some of the Protestant religions did some very strange things...Heck even the Mormons had to take a hard line attitude in order to survive once they reached Utah... I believe that Osama is an aberration, a (very bad one at that). I know of no religion that could survive with evil intent as a basis for long term survival. Christianity had a better business model... (I'm sticking my neck out here).. Christianity had all those missionaries starting about the second century. Islam essentially conquered other countries and made forced conversions the business model of the day. >>>proselytizing to Judaism is a religious "no-no"), <<< Why is that? I should read a good historical book on Judaism, but asking you is so much easier. In fact I bet there are some thread viewers that could suggest a good book on the History of Religions. Thanks Again...Jerome
