Bunnabhain...I recognise that you were not inferring that the Middle Eastern peoples were "primitive"
Persia being the centre of the civilised world at one stage!!

Your inferrence was that primitive cultures were inferior to modern ones and that the madmen of Islam and Christianity have a superior "thought process".
The huge organised religions which cause so much death and destruction,as well as being a handy tool for the power hungry, are a thoroughly modern invention.....Ake
