I only said "partial" because my "by the way" question wasn't answered...but now you have answered it, so we're square there. :-) This is definitely thought-provoking: In any culture based on a theocracy this is likely to be the case. In Saudi Arabia, for example, people don't start their cars, pick up a spoon, or walk through a door way without saying something like bismillah (In the name of God). So yes the bad stuff, any good stuff, and the innocuous daily stuff is often carried out in the name of the religion. People on threads like this seem to over look that and just blame the religion for the bad acts that come from the culture. And I tend to agree with this: "Religions don't do bad things, people sometimes use religions to do bad things."
