You are certainly the voice of reason. Did you notice in the news the story of the Jersey City Egyptian Coptic Christian family of 4 that was annihilated last week. Although, the authorities are not saying, rumors abound that the dad was a chat room junkie and had a distincly anti-islamofascist outlook and had been warned on the web to cease and desist. Please be careful. mike

Israel does not flourish due to religion, and Arab lands do not fail on that account, either. Progress in modernization is the most relevant criterion. If religion impedes that, it is harmful to the secular interests of the country; if not, not. Religion and secularity can flourish together, to improve all aspect of human life, or they can battle one another, secularity lapsing into superficiality, and religion into fanaticism.
