This oversensitivity to Islam is ridiculous, in my opinion. Why should Islamic opinion be considered more valuable than everybody else's? Though I am not anti-Islam, it's certainly not hard for me to understand how many people can make an association between certain strains of Islam and evil. I don't believe the religion causes it, but the connection is there. If somebody did this with a bible, it would cause little to no fuss at all.

Its all the same god, its all pretty much the same religions. Look at the tenets of the religions: Dont hurt anyone,Help Others,Live a Good Life,Be a good person... Its people that make it difficult. People write and interpret the book. its people that create Orthodoxy and dogma that are unnecessary. Until people wake up and realize this we are in for a very rude awakening. Afterwards, on the otherside, come see me and i will tell you I told ya so. :-) When will people learn. It isnt the religion or the god that is the issue.
