God, I can't believe I just read this! That attitude is the exact same attitude that makes the "terrorists" think they have the right to wipe out all the "infidels". No one can say which religion has a right to exist, and which religions do not! Such an attitude of intolerance is simply wrong, and definitely contrary to the constitution of your own country! Does not your constitution guarantee a freedom of religion? Sure, if the religion is espousing violence, then that's wrong, but that's not what their religion promotes. (as far as I know....I could be wrong) A few fanatics are the ones who twist their beliefs to make them say what they want them to say.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not defending the terrorist's actions, I'm simply saying that freedom of religion is as important a right as freedom of speech. If we don't believe that, then we end up with a situation like WWII and the Jews. And none of us wants that.
I'm sorry for criticizing your opinion, but I have to say I do not at all agree with it, and I could not sit by and not voice my opinion.
