[QUOTE="FCArK, post: 3246203, member: 100212"] Inherent in the sense of "must the religion be this way" -- no. As you pointed out, back in time it wasn't always this way. Therefore, it is not necessary to the religion. But obviously, there have developed some strains that are inherently violent. Sticking with Christianity as a comparison, we can say the same thing. We all know of historical occurences of violent forms of the religion, but all know of "nice" forms of the religion, too. What I belive is that the evil forms of the religion must be dealt with in the context of their religion. I would like to say, "Ignore the Islamic packaging because they're not representing true Islam, and what they're doing is inherently and objectively evil." But I quite simply don't believe it can be ignored. I would say the same thing if it was any other religion under the sun. What a mess. [/QUOTE]
