Always trying to find the lighter side of the cosmic charade of religion, this should be put in perspective.
Civilization and society has largely been a forward progression with a few notable back steps. Let's face it, to progressive western society today, a great many Moslems are talking some really barbaric rot. But Islam is a relative newcomer compared to the Judaeo-Christian beliefs of our society.
Just think about what Christians were doing to each other and non-believers 700 years ago. Kinda puts this "clash of civilizations" more into a perspective of the war of pygmies that it is.
