Friends,
This thread is perhaps the worst that I have ever seen on this board. It not only demeans the Islamic culture, but it demeans all of us. For the poster goes on to say ,"Yeah, but THESE GUYS have been doing it this way for 3000 years."
In the magnificant movie, Casablanca, in the end, Bogart says to Claud Rains, the detective, "O.K. Louie, round up the usual suspects." I get the feeling that after reading Cam W's and Kid_A's post that that is what I see.
The 3000 years needs to be explained, because Muhammad founded Islam only about 1400 years ago. The other 2400 years are the years of the jews and christians. Now the suspects , then, are the jews and the christians and the Islamic people. Cam W. says that Islam today and Christianity of the dark ages were the "usual suspects" IMHO. This is why this thread is abhorant to an internet board. It equates religion with the dark ages. Religion did not cause the dark ages. Hate did. The jews were blamed for the plages. the christians sent their "crusaders" to kill Islamics. Hate is what caused all this. And I see it, and Katt sees it. And Robrt Zimmerman sees it for he said, "You don't have to be a wetherman to know which way the wind blows."
