It is a religion. It is a murderous, bloody, treacherous religion, but it is still a religion.

We are the ones who have been duped. "Separation of Church and State". We are supposed to believe that our government can act and do things, things that are somehow totally separate and not dependent on our core beliefs?

The only way government can become superior to the moral and ethical beliefs of the people is to convince them that it has nothing to do with religion.

And it takes only a short study to see that English law, the common law, the history of American law and the Constitution and Bill of Rights are totally based on Christian principles.

The only religious 'equivalent' I can find to islam is Thugee which flourished in India. Here's a snippet:

Though sporadic attempts were made to the extinction of the gangs it was not till Lord Bentinck (governor general of India 1833-35) took vigorous steps that the system was seriously attacked. Between 1831-37 the British hanged nearly 4000 Thugees and the cult was presumed eradicated.

While Thugee is technically a religion, it was one founded on violence and murder, just as islam was.
