    These people is really sad. I am not suggesting anything but I just wonder and I encourage you to just try the following mental experiment, what would happen if all this people just disappeared? What would be the impact of that?

    Wow! Islam is today where Christianity was during the Spanish Inquisition. Does that mean that we have to wait 800 years for the religion to stop killing dissenters?

    Quite scary to think how far the human race is from getting rid of hateful dogma.
