Oh, I'm well aware that there are those in the world that would make me a target simply for not believing as they do. However, compare the target list. You have a Pat Robertson publicly on international television that his beliefs are the only truth and casting derision on anyone not like him. The you have the lowly atheist that from time to time posts inane stuff like this on some public website with a small following.

I think Christians, Jews, etc. are a much more logical target for radical Muslims than atheists are. Certainly we're on the list but I have the feeling there's enough above me that, unless I get caught in the crossfire, I'll hopefully die of natural causes.
