"I hope you enjoy sharing company with Osama bin Laden."

Yes, the bin laden/Taliban contingent are bad and in fact evil. But it is not their desire, in and of itself, to teach topics dealing with religion that makes them evil. It is their desire to actively kill innocent people. So if anyone here shares the latter desire, I would agree they have problems. Otherwise the argument falls apart quite easily.

Thanks. It does, in fact, fall apart for the same reason that RussP's argument falls apart. I only brought it up to demonstrate the intellectual bankruptcy of RussP's claim.
