btw, I *think* C3 was saying that the "comedian" was calling Islam a ridiculously stupid religion.

Actually, "ridiculously stupid" were my words.

It seems those are essentially the sort of things this guy said that got him labeled a racist (which makes as much sense as someone saying negative things about Christianity being labeled an anti-Semite). So I should probably be careful.

I've read (an English interpretation) of the Koran, lived in an Islamic country, visited other Islamic countries, and opted to write a series of very long research papers on the subject of Islam when I was in university. None of these experiences has ever led me to change my opinions on the religion. It is very backwards and responsible for many of the problems we see in the middle-east. I guess it is nice to hold hands and get all lovey dovey about all religions being good and equal, but that is a bit like putting blinders on and looking the other way. Some things simply shouldn't be ignored, but for the last several years there seems to have been a desperate desire to ignore this one.
