In the name of creating their version of a religion-free utopia, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong produced the kind of mass slaughter that no Inquisitor could possibly match.

		<description>No U.S. Veto on Israeli strike

&lt;em&gt;United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday refrained from saying the U.S. would prevent Israel from mounting a much-touted attack against Iran over the Islamic Republic&#039;s nuclear aspirations. 

&quot;We don&#039;t say yes or no to Israeli military operations. Israel is a sovereign country,&quot; Rice said in an interview with Yahoo! News. &lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Bltbit... have you read &quot;Bleeding for Allah&quot; by Marcus Aurellias? If anyone who posts on this site had ever read it, I promise that their view of that religion and the region (namely Israel, Palestine, and the entire middle east) would drastically change. Unfortunately for us, it was written by a historian and not a &quot;liberal&quot;, so I&#039;m sure they will skip over that book at the library.</description>

Muhammad died in 632 AD and through jihad, Islam spread within a century from Spain to India. During the Muslim conquests Jews and Christians were assigned a special status as communities possessing Scriptures and are known to Muslims as &quot;people of the Book&quot; (ahl al-kitab) or dhimmis (protected people). Christians, Jews, and later Hindus and Zoroastrians were allowed religious autonomy, but had to pay a per capita tax called the jizyah. Many people converted to Islam to avoid the jizyah tax. In the 12 century the Muslim mystics, known as Sufis, were primarily responsible for spreading Islam to India, China, Central Asia, Turkey, and sub-Saharan Africa. Islamic traders were responsible (by the 14th century) for extending Islam to Indonesia, Malaya, and China.

Not at all. However, bit is not sure that a Moslem would say it develop from  &quot;the Judeo-Christian tradition.&quot;

Do you think they would say this?
