"For this reason, I generally like to avoid simplistic bashing of every member of a major religion."

Don't seem to mind simplistic bashing of anyone who disagrees with you, though...

One question: How many other major religions can you find, today, whose major leaders - not merely the oddball adherents of minor sects - outspokenly advocate holy war (or 'jihad') against, and annihilation of, entire races?
Besides the Muslims, that is?

[Austin Willard Wright]

Does this include "the Muslims" in Turkey or "the Muslims" in Tunisia, or "the Muslims" in Afganistan who celebrated the fall of the taliban in Afghanistan, "the Muslims" who are protesting the rule of Mullahs (and risking their lives in the process in Iran), "the Muslims who are Kurds fighting Iraqi rule? By embracing the indiscriminate collective guilt theory, you are also embracing the theory which has done the most harm in the twentieth century.

Much of modern Islam is screwed up. Trying to reverse this process will never be accomplished, however, by feel good bashing of every single Muslim. Enjoy yourself while you again. Because the left will soon (and already is) using the same simplistic collective guilt theory to attack all religion.

BTW, do you also believe "the Catholics" are all pedophiles?
