You know, I came to a similar conclusion myself, long while back.   You might want to take them seriously, though...they certainly take themselves seriously, and get into some pretty serious shit on that count.  

Allah hu akbar, god wills it...pass the salt.

Yeah, it's just scary what passes for socially acceptable. I do take the believers very seriously, I take the fact that they believe seriously. I just can't take the actual beliefs themselves at all seriously.

There is no kind of hateful hideous violence-inciting propaganda that I could carry around with me, show people and recite that comes close to the bible/Quran. But you can bet I'd be arrested for it anyway.
Feel free to send me a private message.
