#2 Islam effectively creates a situation where the most violent and extreme rule, not by their doctrines or ideas, but solely by their willingness to hurt others, while hiding behind a veneer of orthodoxy that protects them from retribution.

#3 'moose, that sounds like leftists everywhere fascist, communist, socialist, Democrat, whatever. The difference is usually only in the directness or nuance of their violence.

#4 Think Salem witch trials. The useful thing about religion is you can always drum up a reason to kill your neighbors. (If you're so inclined).

#5 ~~Salem witch trials~~

A local hysteria lasting a few months, which ended suddenly when one of the accused fled to Boston and sued the accusers for libel. The accusations came to a screeching halt. The entire community recognized this situation as evil, publicly repented, and rewrote their laws. Eohippus' comparison does not hold up; it is merely an excuse to say something snotty about faith.

#6 which ended suddenly when one of the accused fled to Boston and sued the accusers for libel.

But that wasn't in the play.

#7 I've beheaded several neighbors for being less-Catholic than me... well, actually, that never happened, and the thought to do so never occurred to me.

See the difference, Eohippus? Perhaps not....
