And how is radical Islam different from that bellowing buffoon from the Catholic League, Bill Donohue, warning us all about the evils of 'The Golden Compass' because Phillip Pullman (the author) is an Atheist? Religious extremism doesn't just come in Islamic flavors.

You're absolutely right, Bob. But Donahue and Westboro Baptist scumbag Fred Phelps spout off and don't have high religious leaders enforcing their extremist views with whips, beatings, and beheadings. There aren't Christian extremists killing people who write articles against Christianity or draw cartoons they find offensive.<br><br>Yes, a great deal of blood has been shed in the name of the Bible, but not in the last hundred years or so, and not in the spectacular way that murder has been done in the name of Islam.<br><br>BTW, the guitar player and the bass player in my band are really serious Christians - and they both think Phelps is evil.

Anybody who talks to invisible friends for guidance needs to be approached with caution. :-)
