Not a very good analogy. Let's say instead that 1 out of every million people independently blow themselves up every year. If that happens whether your product is on the market or not, is it fair to blame your product? Again, the problem is you cannot show a true cause-effect with religion and extremism. Unless you can definitely show that people that do evil in the name of religion would *not* do so if they weren't religious, then there's simply no argument to make. > And if someone's religion can pretty much be counted on to churn out > a > killer every, say, year - well I'd say that's not a peaceful religion. That's like saying if a single ColdFusion app doesn't run very well, the whole language must be total crap. Or dead. ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
