Thread Name: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
Subject: RE: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
Before we go off totally half-cocked here, I'd like to mention that I've heard a number of interviews with Muslims who are absolutely horrified and disgusted by what Muslim extremists are advocating and doing. They point out that you can comb through the Koran and cherry-pick verses, ignoring context, to justify whatever atrocity you want to commit.

Of course, one should not forget that the same holds true for Christian extremists who cherry-pick verses from the Bible.

How much are you going to let someone else's irrationality dominate the course of your life?
