    Anybody think that maybe radical fundementalism and violence is influenced by the age of the religion? Christianity went through major upheaval, infighting, wars, and fundementalism from 1100-1600 or so - and it really got nasty towards the end. Islam was founded about 625 years after Christianity, so that would put us right smack dab in a corresponding period.

    Just found this interesting.

    Hmm. It might be cyclical, but the blame still falls on the people, not the pattern.
