#1 Some debate. You can always count on Islam to show its true face in the most violent and despicable manner when confronted with another belief system.

#2 Christianity produced martyrs (literally "witnesses" in Greek) a good while before Islam arose. He won't be the first Xian martyr and perhaps not the last .... I wish that weren't true, but it is likely to be so.

#3 RKB: That is true, but I don't count the Islamic ones as TRUE "martyrs." They are martyrs in that they are dying for their religion, but it isn't matyrdom (in my book) if you do the job yourself and look to take others with you.

#5 Today's X-ity has about as much in common with the X-ity of the middle ages as the web has in common with illuminated manuscripts. But Islam has not progressed, in fact has significantly regressed, since the twelfth century.

#6 As a matter of fact Iam LiberalHawk, you cannot honestly draw moral equivelance between the two. As lex noted, Islam is regressing.
