Well maybe hammering wasn't the right word

And I'm sorry if it came across the wrong way. I more meant that I was surprised that anyone could have found anything to argue with over what I posted. I assumed that people on this forum were a little bit more tolerant and you wouldn't blame an entire religion on the systemic problems of many countries. I find this whole discussion the equivalent of comparing all Christians to those of Westboro Baptist Church.

I do not think many would agree the Westboro Baptist Church represents Christianity, but somehow Wahabism and all the other BS sects of Islam represent Islam? I just thought it was weak. Women, homosexuals and most any one odd gets screwed in a lot of Islamic countries but that does not mean it is Islam at fault. Just assholes who run it.
