Sorry, I *did* say I was talking of my opinions formed from my experiences {emphasis admittedly added}... Have you lived in moslem countries, McGofH? Or lost a loved one to anti-Infidel islamic terrorism?

What I meant was Sure, if you read the fundemental bases for the religions, you are charged in various ways - including the Duty to Preach to which Steve refers in general but (the basis for my argument) which I find only among Christians - but that most right-thinking people who adhere to the (rest of) the faith tend to live right too. None of my moslem friends have ever tried to kill anyone. None of my Christian friends preach at -or around- me, either, or at least if they do, they don't tend to stay my friend for very long! And I think you'd be hard pressed to find any Buddhist who thinks that killing non-Buddhists is the way to reach Nirvana...
