No other small groups of people belonging to a faith have done, or can do, so much damage to the civilized world and humanity as the so called radical Muslims have been doing and will continue to do under the guidance of Quran and Islamic teachings. You may see a psychopath calling himself a Catholic blowing up an abortion clinic killing innocent people. But at the same time you will see a vast majority of Catholics, including the Catholic religious leaders (the bishops, Cardinals and of course the Pope) condemning the action. On the other hand when a psychopath suicide bomber calling himself a Muslim blows himself up in a bus full of people thinking he would go to heaven and be given 72 virgins to play with, do you hear much from a vast majority of Muslims or their religious leaders (the Mullahs, and Ayatollahs) condemning the action? educated Muslims who can set aside the barbaric violent out-of-date verses of Quran because they all believe those verses are part of Quran, and since they all believe Quran is the word of God, they do not dare to question and/or to modify God's wisdom! Mullahs are riding on the notion that they are the representatives of God and therefore have the sole authority in voicing God's wisdom (as stated in Quran) to the people. In a sense (for the present) they are invincible!"victims" (for whatever idiotic reasons or another), and that they have to always struggle against external forces (e.g. the U.S, the West, Womne's right, democracy as we know it, etc. etc.), we will continue to have the problems we are facing today in the world ranging from global terrorism, to local and regional wars.
