Nope...Islam is one F'd up ideology.
Take a look at Islam as it is practiced. When I first saw the pics of the Shiites by the thousands in Iraq flogging themselves into a bloody mess during one of their holy festivals, I new something wasn't right. These people are still pissed about the Crusades for crying out loud. Not even the hill folk of Appalachia carry a grudge like that.
There's also a little matter with the founder of the religion. Mohammed was one psychopathic SOB. Hard to have a religion of peace founded by a guy like that.
