No. I am not saying that Islam has to end. Yes, I did point out certain unsavoury aspects of its founder, although there is certainly critical analysis and questioning and skepticism that can be applied to any of the world's major religions. That said, most of the other major religions have matured/evolved to a point where they or factions of them are not threats to world peace. Islam on the other hand does not necessarily seemed to have acheived that maturity and evolutionary end point, and as I believe you pointed out above (although I am too lazy to scroll) has issues with modernity, and to an extent, as a result, a vocal minourity of Islam is a threat to world peace and is becoming a bigger threat. As many of us have seemed to agree, the Moderates of the religion, who intuitively would seem to form a majority, do not appear to be exercising a moderate force in the places they could. Thus it seems to me, that unlike the other major religions of the world, Christianty, Judiaism ,, Budhism, Hinduism (nothwtihstanding the Tamil Tigers), Islam is sort of a problem. Although I am not sure what the solution is. Maybe impeach Bush.

In the movie Snakes On A Plane, the people who got bit w/o warning seemed the luckiest. Maybe we should just assume it will settle down, then when it doesn't, it will take us suddenly?
