God is part of the evolutionary process. As soon as man was bright enough to see the potentioal for control and wealth, he invented God. Look how his invention paid off! Personally I just don't see how the arguments about creation vs. evolution matter one bit. We still die and remain dead. What a waste of time to be talkig about something that changes nothing.

I worked in Muslim countries with Muslims for 5 years, Iraq,Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia..... what makes you think your time is more precious than anyone elses, is this the arrogance of the religious speaking?

They were responsible for the death of a very good friend, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.......all for the greater good of Allah!

so who is more dangerous, people in the video or the one who actually took an innocent life?

They are both as bad as each other. They both operate on a premise of self righteousness but it is founded in religious ideology which, when objectively analysed, is fundamentaly flawed. There then becomes no room for understanding and celebrating the differences in each others cultures, with only one possible outcome....HATE

sure, i agree with you, fanatics exist everywhere, in all ideologies and certainly religious ones, the problem with me is saying how one side is more dangerous than the other, as you now say, they are as bad as each other, probably a fairer thing to say... take care

In a more constructive way.... "viva la difference" and enjoy the choices you have been given... take care to
