[MD] Islam, Religion of Peace

Hi Khaled,

Thanks for telling me that history. It was interesting.

One thought I have about what motivates fundamentalism in religions  
is about how fundamentalism emerged in Christianity. There was no  
conflict between reason and religion for most people before evolution  
was made an issue with the Scope's trial. The embarrassment of that  
trial led to more explicit definition of Christian fundamentals which  
forced people to make a choice between their faith and scientific  
evidence. So there is a collision with modernity that resulted in  
fundamentalism.

Regards,
Steve
