The evidence I refer to is there written in the quran, that together with what I see in the media regarding the activities of al'queda (and the taliban before them), various bombings worldwide and...oh yes, 9/11.

Who mentioned communism ? By insidious I meant that some of the less savoury aspects of Islam (such as suppression of women) are less well known and rarely mentioned although they are an intrinsic part of the way Islam is used to subjugate its followers.

Maybe they should shout as loud as the fundamentalists. Maybe they are scared they will be 'downsized' !
I wonder why those who promote voilent struggle in the name of religion are referred to as 'fundamentalists' ?? i.e. maintaining traditional beliefs ?
