When a Christian reads the Bible and comes across bigotry, injustice and hatred, he or she rationalizes it away. "Oh, he was speaking to the Pharisees, and I'm not a Pharisee". "Oh, but that's the Old Testament, it doesn't count any more". "Oh, but you see, that's just a metaphor for something completely different". Why would Muslims be any different?

Muslims are different because accoeding to some its only the fundamentalist fruitcakes whoi are really muslims.

In places where the large majority CAN read the Qur'an, you'll note that they are MORE "fundamentalist." That's because the really awful bits in Islam are actually in the Qur'an

So if you take the tribal belt in Pakistan where most people are illiterate in their own language let a lone a foriegn one how are there so many fundamentalist nuts?
Ah that would be because they are being told what the book says and what it means by the fruitcakes from Saudi
In the same vein other mid-east and N.african countries with high levels of literacy will be as fundamentalist as saudi if your "theory" were true. But they are not so it isn't.

Errrrrr....protection money? Isn't that the tax system where the people who go to a church pay church taxes and if you don't pay the church tax as you don't go to the church you pay the other tax.
