[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Highway Hoss: [qb] The thing is it is not the religions [i]per s�[/i] that is the problem; rather it is the cultish ideologies based on selected passages of both the Koran and the Bible. Basically the Christian Fundamentalists picked out certain passages from the bible and quoted them "out of context" to justify their own ideology. [/qb][/QUOTE]Therein lies the crux of the issue: how does one determine where harmless zealotry and deep faith would become violent extremism? There's plenty of "holy rollers" out there preaching hate, and it's their right to express their viewpoints, yet we're supposed to know where the line is between expressing one's viewpoint in a belief and enciting violence? Who's to say what['s "out of context" in a belief system? Usually social and racial prejeduce will make that determination: how many times have you heard that "Islam is a violent belief" in the past year alone? [/QB][/QUOTE]
