No question there, but islamic nations have not been particularly successful. Lowering the population to a manageable size and keeping everyone loyal to old Allah is getting to be a full time job. Educating the population and exposing them to the world, makes some of the rules the Imam's love to use to keep the peasants in line, look a tad "just plain stupid".

jlallen ...."Islam is a faith like any other...throughout history fanatics have hijacked various religions and twisted their meanings....Remember the Inquisition? Salem witch trials?".....

Agreed..however way back then whomever the nutcases were they didn't have access to WMD.. nuclear, bio, etc that could wipe out millions at a time...IMO the crazies this MUST be stopped.

Excellent point. Religions have never hurt anyone, but corrupt persons have used religions to hurt people since the beginning of recorded history.
