Excellent post.."There are fanatics in all religions,it is not fair to judge the majority based on a minority fanatic group." I agree... There is new movie being released(the name escapes me) that deals with the Crusades and the on going battle between Christians and Muslims... It will be an epic. However, the interesting points that I got from seeing the review is that the battle has been going on for centuries... Saladin is the leader of the Muslims. He is quite a leader in the he has dignity and courage. He also is always willing to have dialogs.. and not just charge into conflicts.He sounds like a wonderful person. The Christians in the name of the Crusades attacked Jerusalem and slew all the the Muslims there, showing no mercy. When the Muslims regained the city they did not kill all the Christians.. they used them to barter.. a kind gesture not granted the Muslims when the Christians captured the city. The battles that were fought have been to regain possession of that city prized by the Jews,Muslims and Christians. The interesting thing if that today the church of the Holy Sepulcher,the Muslim Mosque and the Jewish temple are but a stones throw from one another all all these religions mix... No one owns Jerusalem. It belongs to all.

There are religious fanatics in every religion. not fair to judge the majority, based on a minority fanatic group. Unfortunately, kumar, the Wahabbis are a large and very well funded minority. When such a large group uses its ownership of Makka and Saudi petrodollars to spread its message of hate - and yes, Wahabbis are taught to hate Christians and Jews, as well as 'apostate' non-Wahabbi Muslims - you cannot just dismiss it as a "minority fanatic group"

Dear Kumar, You state: .."There are fanatics in all religions,it is not fair to judge the majority based on a minority fanatic group." I am not judging the fanatics, minorities or the majority of people in the religion. I am just judging the religion itself based on the its doctrine (namely Koran) as defined by Islam itself! :) Just read Islam's so called Holly book: Koran (some spelling it as Quran), and I do rest my case! Judge for yourself whether it is a religion of peace, or rather a huge cult of angry people obsessed with sex, murder, killing, revenge, and destruction! :) Dont get upset with me please! If you truly read Islam's doctrine via Koran and putting every Sureh in context of one another and trying to understand every sureh, and still can keep a straight face claiming Islam is a religion of peace I will be willing to give you every single loser or winning stock I own! :) Just the very fact that you are most likely upset with my statement (and perhaps this very post) and having come to have the desire to perhaps chop my head off does speak volume for the Islamic peace loving tolerance! :) warmest regards,
