Just something to stimulate thought, nothing more:

There are a wide spectrum of attitudes in most communities, whether it be religious, non-religious, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish-and one could go on.

Why should it be a surprise that a variety of prespectives exists among the global and western Muslim community? And, is it reasonable to expect that one persons perspective would define any religion or broad community viewpoint on complex issues -regardless of what one would wish it to be?

For example, would a RC bishop's (in Rome or locally) views on birth control be reflective of the views of the entire RC community on birth control?

Are we trying to be simplistic in putting everything in a nutshell, a speaking point, or, an interview or two- or, is it much more complex than that?
