>The Ayatola of Iran's actions must be an example of Islam in action, so I want no part of it. Lying to your people and beating asnd murdering them is not an example of a peaceful religion in action. Indeed, any religion that requires a motor cycle gang of enforcers is not a religion at all.
Those are extreme cases, that shouldn't be taken as representing all of Islam.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
