Nor were those who read Marx or Mao and who do think- long
enough to decide this is true anyway - and decide to kill all
who get in the way of their idea of utopia. Do we think all
those absolutely certain religion is an unfortunate infection
that rots the brain and is dangerous to all "right-thinking"
folk will not become violent in service of their beliefs or
excuse any atrocities that may come on the basis of their low
opinion of various belivers?
I don't think there is much excuse for spreading "All Muslims
are EVIL" memes around here.
