What you are telling me gives me some hope. Aren't there a lot of Buddhists and other religions in those countries?

Just read your page. I like Thomas Paine and have used his quotes many times.
American Society of Steve's?
I'm one of those Steves but didn't know there was such a group.
Off to go partridge hunting.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not say everything happy happy joy joy. Lots of poverty, corruption, Wahhabi Mosques...etc
But my point is all is not doom and gloom, not all Mulsims want to kill us (not even close to all), or that all is sweetness and light inside islam.
