re: #303 ObserverArt
We tend to forget when we discuss any religion that there are
a) people who identify culturally or socially with a religion, but do not closely follow its tenets
b) people who follow it closely but would not think of imposing it on other through law or force
c) those who follow it closely and seek to impose it on others through legislation
and
d) those who would also use violence or force to impose their religion.
Especially when it comes to Islam in America and Europe, a lot of people make no distinction between the former and the latter two.
