Okay, we are getting closer to my point slowly but surely.
What I was saying to ResAlien a page or two back was that I don't believe that having extremist fundamentalists quoting the most inflammatory quotes from scripture necessarily creates mass violence the likes of what we have seen. Just because there are a few lines like the ones he quoted in the Quran doesn't automatically dictate that there will always be the current amount of violence in the muslim world. I stand by my statement that most of the violence is geopolitical and not based on a few passages from the Quran.
