The Koran refers to "jesus" as a prophet and exchanges many muslim world views with christianity. Of course those in the "church" might want to distance themselves with people bent on flying planes into buildings. The KKK has adopted many forms of Christianity as well. There are many "simple minded" people that adopt forms and functions of faith to suit their own bias. Simple minded indeed...Thanks Scone.
Yep, trying to understand an enemy might lead you to maybe an inkling of empathy? Not for the act of violence that they committed, but perhaps the horrible thing that drove them to do it? From there, maybe we could find a way to give people like the (Arizona shooter) 9/11 hijackers another option other than violence? Maybe even alleviating the problem that lead to the violent act? Understand goes a long way. Condemnation just throws the person away without regard. Great vid, scone.

I love complex life! It enriches your soul, your intelect and improves your emotional intelligence.
Religious believers are prisoners in the simple world of ideas their book presents them with.
