		<description>I agree that there a pockets of extreamist Muslims. However as much as it pains me to say it the "berdi werdi" does start of with some very apt points. Newspapers do make Islam into the "boogie man", this an unfair. Islam as a religion, is no worse than any other in a historical sense. 

And as the man said, in the quaran it does say "Let There Be No Compulsion in Religion". But there is, the problem is that the compulsions of religion, and pol seem to be choosen them when its suits. And dish out harsh punishments for it. So although Islam does not approve the death of this young girl, it created the frame work and dogma which a evil man can use to justife killing his inosent child. 

Religion isn't the evil, it is just crap. But it allowes evil people to justife evil acts.</description>

		<description>I think Sam Harris' recent observation (talking about Fitna) is apt here:

'The position of the Muslim community in the face of all provocations seems to be: Islam is a religion of peace, and if you say that it isn’t, we will kill you. Of course, the truth is often more nuanced, but this is about as nuanced as it ever gets: Islam is a religion of peace, and if you say that it isn’t, we peaceful Muslims cannot be held responsible for what our less peaceful brothers and sisters do. When they burn your embassies or kidnap and slaughter your journalists, know that we will hold you primarily responsible and will spend the bulk of our energies criticizing you for “racism” and “Islamophobia.”'</description>
