Why, thank you very much! I’ll check those out when I have some spare time. I read your thread on the barbarity of Christianity before I joined. Modern day Islam has quite a lot of those problems too. I’ll have to see about contributing to that thread as well.

While Fundamentalism seems to be on the rise these days in all of the major religions, I hope we can encourage more contributions from the moderate POV as well
I agree wholeheartedly, jar. I have visited some forums with very extreme views that purport to denounce extremism themselves! This thread on a Catholic forum, for example, attempts to ”prove’ that only mass-murdering muslims represent the true face of Islam. I have grown up my whole life in the UK amongst (mostly) peaceful muslims and communities who simply want to live their own lives much the same as anyone in ”The West’. Even when Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses caused controversy and footage of book-burning took precedence on television news broadcasts, nobody I knew called for his death or did anything remotely violent.
I mentioned that thread simply in response to your call for encouraging a moderate point of view. If a large number of muslims (or ”muslimuun’ to use the Arabic, and therefore, in this case, technically ”correct’ plural) call for peace and co-existence, why would anyone object to that!? Why not hold them up as shining examples of ”true’ Islam and weed out fringe minorities?
