Just bear in mind that Christians ran rampage across the world killing, raping and burning anyone who didn't believe in their book, back in the day. Burning people at the stake - a slow death - so they had time to repent and "come to Jesus". How cruel and barbaric. Also bear in mind that it hasn't been that many years since America was segregated by the color of your skin - BY LAW - and white folks were running round hanging black folks and burning their houses. Something that was considered abhorrent by many other parts of the world. Sudan's law is very clear about the use of the name Mohammad. She broke their law. Some folks ran around demanding the death penalty. Really not so different from lynching mobs in response to violation of the American segregation laws. You just need some historical and cultural perspective on these events. And, yes, I do rather enjoy playing devil's advocate in these sorts of situations... -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:247356 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
