Don't agree. Religion should be a personal choice. If you choose to follow it then that's your prerogative, if you don't then you shouldn't have people pontificating at you and telling you you're wrong. It'd probably work if everyone let each other get on with it. As for the rapist cleric in the article, whatever you think of Islam and those who practice it, trying to link the views and despicable actions of a shifty preacher as representative of the views of the entirety of almost a quarter of the world's population isn't fair IMO. It's the equivalent of saying the inbred redneck nutcases in the Mid-West of America represent the followers of Christianity or the hardcore Zionists reflecting the view of the average Jew. As for being a 'religion of peace', I agree with the post above; every religion is such until someone takes something that they think is theirs or does something that annoys another. Then it's just a premise for aggro.
