Holocaust - Period when 6 million Jews (sorry if I'm wrong here because I can't remember the exact number) were killed by Hitler. Bettina, I'd have to say that you're committing a fallacy here. Just because some people from a certain religion etc are extremist doesn't mean everyone else is. I may be a non-Christian (I'm a Hindu) and some fundamentalist Christians go around trying to force their views on everybody but I don't go calling for Christianity to be done away with just because of those few black sheep. There are good as well as bad people in every religion. Human thought processes are very complicated and therefore not entirely uniform and corresponding to each religion. I may look at a concept and take it differently from the person next to me. (E.g. I go "A cat has four legs". The person next to me says "No no, a cat has three legs" and tries forcing his views on everyone. I am right, he is wrong, and he's causing unrest by forcing his views on everyone. Does that mean we go around killing all cats in existence? It's the same thing. Is Islam a religion which speaks of bombing innocent people? I should think not. It all depends on how someone takes it) It's the same thing as gays. Sure, most people (myself included) can't stand gays going around trying to host sex parties when straight people can't (it has happened in Singapore where I live) but that does not mean we should discriminate against all gays. Most of them are just like normal people, quiet and leading their own normal lives. It's the same thing. Most Muslims can think for themselves, just like you and me. They may have their own opinions but they're mindful of others as well. They're innocent people; they should not have their identity stripped away just because of a few black sheep. If world leaders thought your way then Islam would be done away with because it's too extremist, Christianity would be done away with because it's too fundamentalist, Hinduism would be done away with because it requires you to fast on certain days and therefore may cause gastric pain (weak example at this point I know but you get my point) That would mean almost every belief would be annihilated and people all over affected just because of a few always-existent black sheep. It's kind of weird to think of these kind of extremely significant decisions being made just because of a few terrorists, does it not?
