Just as bad as he is!

I'm not saying that I agree with the idea of religious followers being gullible or misled; I don't agree with your statement, either. You are COMPLETELY off mark when you blame all of the religious exteremism of the last century on Islam. I'm not sure if you only watch CNN and just assume that all of the Middle Eastern news is the only bad going on, but plenty of religious organizations have been guilty of fanaticism, corrpution, and murder in the last hundred years.

Murder and demoralization is a prerequisite for most major, organized religions these days, especially when they're woven into politics. Just because it doesn't occur or directly affect the country you live in doesn't mean that it doesn't happen...
