That is not fair. I am answering a comment here.

It is unjust to bundle up all Catholics and all Muslim in stereotyped packages and lay stereotype blanket accusations on them.  I could easily do the same for all Christians who preach love and practice hate and fear. There are tunnel-vision zealots in all belief systems, and none of them are very nice to have around. Some of them are crazy and dangerous. Some of them just teach their children to be like them.  There are also fine, sensible, sane and humane people in every group of people.  We have to take people as individuals.  If we don't do that we just make the world a colder, meaner and crazier place.

This makes so much sense to me! I wonder what it will take to turn it around and they get it together to create jobs! I suspect forever or never with the focus of the Koran being the intellectual achievement! sam

It's interesting to see the effects of the population on it all.

Magnificent points made here. I  cannot imagine how people think you can send in a military and create a democratic country anywhere in the Middle East. When we go to war we go to beat the enemy not teach them to be like us, but we are playing such a game. Stupid...  They are totally subservient to a God of hate, death, pain, torture etc., never freedom and democratacy.

Another is that both Muslims and Catholics are producing children so rapidly it is more like litering. Muslims are producing soldiers and fodder for the enemy. Iran once marched young boys for months until Iraq became ashamed to kill more. Who won that war? The Catholics are producing illegal immigrants who are hungry one place and illegal in any place.
