somebody made the point in a newspaper letters page that Islam is about 600 years younger than christianity and maybe some of the extremism that appears to be present in the moslem approach isn't that difficult to appreciate if you consider what the jesus botherers were like in the 15/16th centuries...quite possible to imagine burnings and death as repriasal for offending the christ god back then.
What concerns me is that it's one thing for a religious group to say what goes & what doesn't within the countries that are "part" of that religious calling; when they start saying what other countries can & can't say about their religion - fuck them
