Your comments fill me with despair because they proffer the `reality` of the islamic mindset.

In the UK the other night I saw a programme which showed interviews with suicide bombers just prior to their `mission` One after another these poor misguided fools spoke about `guaranteed paradise` now lets be quite sure about one thing.... their acts are totally selfish..the pursuance of eternal life in paradise, they appeared to have no concept of the `reality` of their deeds or in fact of how ridiculous and illogical their expectations were.

Why would any `god` reward anyone for killing & maiming at random...men, women, children, muslims, jews etc..etc who cares...this is is in the name of allah & I`m off to claim my virgins and live forever.

I have said before that islam is nothing more than a hierarchical control mechanism for the great unwashed, based on fear & reward. The problem is that there can be no tolerance of `questioning` or intellegent debate because the system would break down, this is why `dissenters` are regularly murdered by the `spiritually correct`

IMO islam will not succeed in it`s ultimate goal, firstly because it is based on evil and secondly because it is totally inappropriate in a progressive world...you only have to look at some muslims in the UK, once they make money (maybe a greater god) certain `restrictions` of the great faith seem to loose their relevance, unfortunatley however, there will always be the indoctrinated, feeble minded individuals that believe they can change the world by `doing allahs will` so I fear the evil will continue.....
