Sharia law, isnt Islam (imho) its just crazy arabs trying to find more measures of control; and was adopted by different areas as they saw the potential of ascerting their authority.. from what i remember its unheard of in places like China, Indonesia (however its been creeping into indonesia) where the majority of muslims are in the world

I'd say half of the reason why christianity in the west is dropping fast is because half of the people are becoming more and more intelligent and aware. The other half of the reason is because people are being rasied by less and less moral individuals who choose to raise them on MTV and garbage culture.
You're right, all religions have held back science, but Islam continues to hold that part of the world back while the West has been enlightened for awhile now. We need to be aware that there are forces at work trying to allow creationism to be taught along side evolution. Teaching our children that magic happens is dangerous for the human mind.

Hmm... i dont see how that emboldened remark is true? unless your referring to the fact that the Quaran is taught to be the truth.... as schools of science are flourishing in the middle-east (Iraq was a den for scientists before all the wars). Infact now that i think about that comment of yours isn't quite accurate at all considering most countries offer free university schooling to its citizenry
and again the quaran is filled with scientific notions (google it :P ).
Again your mixing the faith with the actions of would-be dictators

Absolutely you can denigrate a philosophy because of a localized misuse.
Most people who view it will have a preconceived notion of what Nazi is, and stands for.
Think I could walk around with that on a t-shirt and not have people comment? With your logic, people should stop being Naziphobic and learn that just because Nazism was bad in WW2 Germany doesn't mean that Nazism in Canada would be the same philosophy.
The argument could be made that a Canadian person's interpretation of "mein kampf" would be more moderate than the pre-WW2 German interpretation
The argument can also be made that a Canadian person's interpretation of the qur'an would be more moderate than the modern Saudi Arabian person's interpretation.

i dont see anything wrong with the Nazis aside from that 1 thing ;p
just because you feel you can belittle them doesn't make it right whatsoever; thats along the same lines as the USA and its Communist/Socialist fear mongering.. that obviouslly didn't/doesn't help
