Religous Insanity

Good morning, people.
Something in the news this morning - MUSLIM GROUP WARNS "SOUTH PARK" CREATORS OF DEATH." South Park? So it's okay for an adult comedy cartoon to make fun of God, Jesus Christ or anyone except Muhammad? Isn't this the same rediculous threats (real or not) made against Simon Ruskey over a silly fictional novel? Can any group really be so sensitive that they would commit murder in some misguided religious fervor? It seems so.

And is this only the tip of the ice berg? I would say yes. Look at the insanity of the suicide bombers in Iraq, Japan and elsewhere driven by their intense, religious leadership to take their own lives, as well as, the lives of countless others. Their victims are not specifically targeted. They are just nameless faces in the crowd who happen to be in the wrong place at a time when these fanatics wish to make some nebulous political point that no one but themselves understand.

That is insane.
