This article at the Washington Post, written by a Pakistani nuclear physicist, sums up _everything_. Well, maybe not everything, but at least the current world religious and political climate. An excerpt:
"Islam -- like Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism or any other religion -- is not about peace. Nor is it about war. Every religion is about absolute belief in its own superiority and the divine right to impose its version of truth upon others."
