Did you even read Scandium's post there, I wonder? :hmm:

Sorry, I'm with him on this one. No need to demonize anyone here; we're all people. Let's face it, there is a nasty case of "mass psychosis" going on with Islam nowadays. But it's just a violent case and there are other non-violent cases around there.

And yes, I'll put any groups who say "this is the truth because it says so on a piece of paper allegedly written by so-and-so so many centuries ago" into either latent, potential, non-violent or violent "mass psychosis" cases indeed.

Spirituality, mysticsm, and all else is fine and good. But when there are real negative ramifications to a dogma, then why point fingers at one and dismiss another?

There is one thing I will always reject, and that's countering/juxtaposing/separating-in-terms-of-prescribed-treatment Islam with Christianity, Judaism, or what have you. It's an irrational solution to a problem with irrational people. Sure doesn't sound promising to me :hmm:
