I attended a Catholic school and our Literature teacher made us read the whole Bible, so I can certainly tell you that I have a little knowledge about that, Bible and Koran are very similar but one is taken much to the extreme than the other. While one can rightfully argue that context is everything, the extremist religious take the Koran and the Bible
literary and, unfortunately, ignorance among common people makes things worse. Without going too far, lets have a look a what is going on at Fukushima, Tepco chairmen went to apologize
person by person for the radiation leak. Why? Because the people that lives nearby Fukushima is going to be tremendously discriminated with no basis because of ignorance regarding the real effects of radiation. I was surprised at an interview made by Television Espanola where the evacuated people were completely heart broken because they will no longer be able to get a job or house because they will be considered a danger for the rest of the people. If that happens at Japan, imagine what a turmoil will cause a person in a crisis like Libya is living. And Spock is absolutely right, if the Islam would get more liberal, we wouldn't be arguing about the dangers of religious people in governments.
