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

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

I think Stalin & Mao killed more in the "name of the State " than any religion close to 100 Million of their "own people"

Islam is indeed incompatible with democracy - the only Muslim-majority country with a democratically-elected government (Turkey) has banned religious parties from participation in elections.

They know that if they let their own homegrown jihadists take control the parliament will be replaced with shariat executioners.
