>>If I disbelieve something that (for example) a Muslim does, that isn't a slap in the Muslim's face. If this were the case, we'd all be slapping each other silly. Do you believe everything that, say, a Scientologist or Yazdi or Zorastrian believes? Of course not. But your disbelief doesn't mean you're slapping them in the face. If you don't believe the Sacred Peacock is the ticket to salvation, you aren't slapping anyone. You just don't believe in the Sacred Peacock. That's your right. The problem occurs when the believers in the book of the Sacred Peacock read that they are commanded to convert (and if that fails) kill the unbelievers, take their stuff and possess their women... Unless those unbelievers are fellow "people of the book" in which case they may be optionally merely burdened with a head tax and other restrictions that the supporters of the Sacred Peacock are commanded to impose... Allot of Bird Sh*t, IMHO.
