Christians didn't bother with effigies- they char-broiled the actual people.
All religions, as our swanky leader pointed out, commit crimes against nature and humanity in the name of their god/s, goddesses and such. We can go around pointing fingers at everyone and get in a jab, but we are dealing with the here and now. I'm going to be honest- I am having a hard time trusting the Muslim faith to contain their (hopefully) 'fringe' element and I do fear that the hatred, mistrust and malice runs a bit deeper than the moderates would have us believe. I'm mildly literate in Islamic history and I have a fair idea of how and why things are so crazy right now, but the simple fact remains that the quote from the Pope regarding the Koranic command to slay the infidel was causing major problems six centuries ago, and continues to do so today. I fail to see how we can ever peacefully co-exist with such a mindset, particularily if we are to lead a New Testament type of life.
