So there is no misunderstanding, my signature is not an argument for returning to marchy nor for theocracy or dictatorship. It is, if anything, a plea for bearing with democracies despite despots like Gearge W. Bush.
All religions are capable of similar extremism if left unchecked. Al Queda=Tim McVey=MMM=Inquisition. The difference is the enlightened civic society, the larger secular culture that has been dominant in the West since the Enlightenment, that is a tempering influence on religion and is largely absent in the Middle East.
