Well, religion is as religion does, eh?
You haven't changed the fact that muslims make the news more often than any other group. And the news, as you know, is always bad news.
Counterpoint: the conflict in Bosnia didn't start until the Soviets withdrew. The Soviet communists were athiests and worked hard to keep overly religious people in check. They did a good job IMO, at least in that one respect. People may have a right to hold erroneous beliefs, but they should not have a right to impose them on others, especially if a better education is readily available, as it was under communist rule.
