First of all, let me apoligize to the forum for posting this to begin with.
This piece was written by an Israeli journalist (now living in the US), "alerting" everyone as to the dangers of Islam. Much of what he wrote is true, to a degree. As Targan pointed out, however, it can also be pointed at the other end of the religious spectrum.
My only intent in posting was to encourage debate, both pro and con. It was certainly not my intent to slam any single religion, if anything, I tend to slam all organized religions, because of the hate that they dish out to their followers. All of the major religions stress that God, Allah, Yaweh, Lord Buddha, et al, tells us to love our neighbors and forgive our enemies. And yet, in the name of whatever supreme being that we worship, there are those, for lack of a better word, religious fanatics who are too willing to kill in the name of God, and it doesn't matter if those killed are women or children. As one Catholic churchman stated "Kill them all, God knows his own!"
It is indeed a sad commentary of "civilization" that this is allowed to happen.
