I absolutely agree with the people in that article. I went to Catholic schools during my youth, but they taught us about all of the world's religions in our religion classes. I grew up thinking all religions had useful elements to them that you could learn from as you lived your spiritual journey. I never really had a negative view of any of the religions I studied and our teacher, who was a priest, encouraged us to find the good things in those religions we learned about.

It's an interesting thing, because I always thought of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam as the three great Abrahamic religions, until after 9/11. When I read the Qu'ran and started going deep into Islam is when I started thinking that something was seriously wrong with Middle Eastern Islam. Most specifically that it was a religion that had not grown from it's medievil roots, while the other religions had grown. I think we're seeing that now in the actions of it's Sunni adherents in the Middle East.
