re: Radical Islam vs. Islam Written by susannah11 , on 27-10-2001 00:19 A man whom I admire very much called John Ralston Saul, said that ideology is the enemy of reality. I agree with him wholeheartedly. ALL ideology, whether religious, economic or any other sort squares itself directly in opposition to the real world that real people must inhabit. People may say that these terrorists are not "real" muslims until the cows come home, but as long there is an Islamic religion, there will be Islamic extremists and they will consider themselves to be the "real" muslims and the more moderate muslims as the "false" muslims. The fact that people were being assasinated as soon as Muhammed was dead over who should be the successor, shows how morally berefit Islam is. Ditto for all other religions.
