Dear Arya,
you've treaded into dangerous waters. While the dutch reform church is a small minority the extremists in Islam are not.
Why don't you inform the users of Greekchat what your prime minister said a short while ago that caused anger and pain across the world and was condemned across the spectrum except by most Muslim and Arab countries. Is he a better example than Farrakhan?
Hmmm Wahabism is supported by whom Arya? Saudi Arabia you say. Who is the number one donor to Islamic researchers and schools across the world? Saudi Arabia you say.
Get real. The culture is tainted. The great "liberal" thinkers of Islam have died off and the rest are ostracized.

Do you know who not only condone, but also justified apartheid using the bible? A sect of the Christianity, namely the Dutch Reform Church. Does that mean the Dutch Reform Church represent all Christianity? No. Al-Qaeda is based on the teaching of Wahabnism. Many posters does not realized that Islam is not pluralistic. There are many branches, just are there are many branches of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.
louis farrakhan is very poor example of a Muslim because he isn't one. Sure his organizations is called the Nation of Islam, but he believed that there is another prophet after Muhammad, which is a direct contradiction of Islam.
My problem is not that people critized radical Islam, but the way people put it, it seems that people have generalized islam. And, as my professor always said, generalization is the first step toward stupidity.
