In the history of mankind, more people have been killed din the name of God than for any other reason....

You couldn't be more wrong. More people have been killed in the name of the dictatorship of the proletariat than for any other reason.

All the wars in world history before 1900 didn't number as many casualties as the wars of the 20th century. And the vast majority of war victims in the 20th century died at the hands of soldiers fighting for areligious ideologies like Nazism and Communism. The largest religious conflict in history - the Crusades - claimed 250,000 lives in 172 years of warfare. The battle of Stalingrad claimed 1,000,000 lives in six months.

Sorry...you are of course correct..I took my statistics out of context.....I was alluding to the studies that talk about deaths from "religious" motivated wars, as a % of the population at the time....and my remarks were not not meant to blaspheme, but to show how extremists corrupt the word of God and profane it for their own efforts to seize and hold power......and also, that Islam as a whole, seems somewhat incompatible with democracy........regards
