"there is a big bias in our world koan, against islam. that comes from ignorance and fear... not from personal experience or an honest effort to discover the truth. misperception has become the reality for many." youtube.com I'm afraid of them. Scared silly as a matter of fact. I work with three Moslems and know them and their families, wonderful people as a matter of fact you could not ask for better. I would ask one of them every morning at breakfast if he was going to kill the rest of us and ask to have him checked for bombs etc. Islam represents a savage tribal society. Progress to a free society means a society of individuals. There is no separation of church and state in Islam - state and church are one. “Christendom might quite reasonably have been alarmed if it had not been attacked. But as a matter of history it had been attacked. The Crusader would have been quite justified in suspecting the Moslem even if the Moslem had merely been a new stranger; but as a matter of history he was already an old enemy. The critic of the Crusade talks as if it had sought out some inoffensive tribe or temple in the interior of Tibet, which was never discovered until it was invaded. They seem entirely to forget that long before the Crusaders had dreamed of riding to Jerusalem, the Moslems had almost ridden into Paris.” G.K. Chesterton

I don't like any dogma. The minute you think you have the answer, you are lost. Dogma is, and has been the big killer of civilization throughout history. It is not any specific dogma, I don't like any of it.
