Jones and the others should never be compared to the slaughtering Islamic zealots of today. They never advocated strapping a bomb to ones body and blowing it up among women and children of another faith in order to be greeted by 70 virgins in heaven. And they never wanted to destroy everyone in America. Now that I've gotten you to admit many Islamic worshippers are as dangerous today as the worst practitioners of christianity more than 500 years ago. Do you still standby your statement that it would be fine if our population was 90% muslim, instead of 90% christian?

Let me ask you another question Kevin. Why do you think so many people following the Islamic faith have not evolved at the same rate as the people who've followed the christian faith? After all, by many accounts Baghdad was a enlightened place during the dark ages of Europe. So what happened? Why did the people stop evolving into a civilized society. Why have they not accepted democracy, liberty, and an open and free press in which to freely disagree among themselves? Do you think their religion might have had something to do with it?
