I take offense to that as well, and I'm not Muslim. That kind of ignorance is like saying all Christians are bad because of Jim Jones or Catholics are horrible because of the Inquisitions.
The term "radical/religious right" refers to groups which, despite other ideological differences, pose a threat to liberty, democracy and pluralism. They are "radical," in that they advocate extreme and dramatic changes in society. They are "religious," in that they tend to base their ideologies upon religious doctrines and religious texts. To paint a religion with such a broad brush is just plain ignorant AND violates the forums TOS.
We do have rules on the forum that address religious threads, so I don't want to see this turned into a debate on religion.
Thanks for playing space monkey - so long.
