KLP: In fairness, many atrocities have been committed by persons who twisted a religious faith to serve their sick purposes....OBL and his crowd are no more Muslims than the christians who see it their duty to murder abortion docs....

Murderers then? And since the word "Muslim" describes a religion, are there ANY other religions in the world that have a large portion of members of their religion who vow to kill any other large portion of humans on the planet??? I can't think of any. Can you? I think "murderers" is the most appropriate description. In terms "large portion..." let's see : Pakistan : approx 130M population, mainly Muslim India : approx 150M Muslim population. I'd have to research population stats for the ME, as well as Indonesia, and for muslim components of the rest of the world. (not keen on that kinda research!). Suffice to say, the phrase "large portion of members of their religion who vow to kill" will not be statistically correct. cheers, kumar
