andy, who IS the leader of the muslim religion today? it seems to me that every tom, dick and harry imam has absolute say on the quran's interpretation ! please correct me if i am wrong
i'm sure that the quran that the peaceful educated muslims are reading is the same quran that al quaeda and the abu sayaf are.
having said that i don't see any organized christian terrorist organization that even remotely approaches the calculation, inventiveness, reach and daring that the 9-11 miscreants conjured in the name of allah. christian extremists are just merely confined to secular imperatives in contrast to the islamist's mono-prophetic theologic compulsions urged and encouraged by an irresponsible clergy
