I think it was more the idea that Islam is somehow inherently and uniquely stupid and barbarous that I was objecting to Flint. Much of what appears to be 'Islam' is actually a culturally based interpretation of Islam and in no way universally accepted by the Islamic diaspora. Doesn't make it any less stupid and barbarous....just makes it less inherent to the actual religion.

The "Islamic diaspora" is but a tiny minority of all people of the Islamic faith. It seems to me that many of the more radical elements apear to come from the educated middle or upper middle class of Islamic society.

Is this just an isolated incident?

Also, this would be a good time to bring up Christian hospitals that refuse to hand out morning after pills to rape victims, I saw something on that a while back.

Of course, a very easy way of getting and keeping power.
