[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a big can of Piers, but I think he and Rushdie have a good point that the violence won't end unless/until the Muslim world puts an end to it. Christians and Jews (and atheists and wiccans) can't fix the problem. Your point about Saudi Arabia is a prime example of what needs to be done: Muslim and Arab nations stepping up to fix the problem in their own countries...at least as a starting point.

And I'm sorry the terrorists and extremists don't seem to understand that the rest of the world really isn't interested in what they do in their own countries. In fact, we seem to have a high tolerance for human rights violations (heck, we even tolerate mass kidnapping, rape and slaughtering...sometimes even genicude)...as long as they keep it in their own countries. But when they prompt terrorists to attack abroad, they are actively provoking a response. If they really wanted to enforce laws more appropriate for the Middle Ages, no one would care...unless/until it affected the rest of the world.

I agree that Muslims need to bring reform from within. No outside agency can do that. Today I watched a video of an innocent woman stoned and trampled to death by an angry mob, for allegedly  burning the Koran. This was in Afghanistan I am still horrified. Can't unsee that.
All I could think was "No religion or book has more vAlue than a human life! If someone from my faith would do that in the name of religion, I would not associate with that religion. 
Muslims have to take a stance and speak up and do what is right. Self organize and speak up against injustice. This, Before the worlds hatred takes a toll on Islam.  Religion is a man made construct not an identity. [/quote]
