Great video, but it lets the other religions off easy I think.

However there is a lot for the West to learn about Islam, some of it not so bad. However, woudnt it be much better without the belief that there is a god, and that this god orederd someone in a desert (once upon a time) to take his word to the world, this time as a final word with the choice of taking it on, or die.

Now it looks like everyone is trying to make the most out of the misery and the uprising of the middle class educated citizens of Egypt.

Among these you can find the religious Muslim brotherhood, and a quick peek into the mind of some of these people would scare even a left winged delusional student in the university of Berkley.

However, it seems lucky for the people of Egypt and all of the rest of the world, so far the most powerful voice in the demonstrations in Egypt is the voice of the simple citizen, the one who wants more freedom, more democracy, and better – honest financial system that moves the local economics.

In the meanwhile check out this interview on CNN (who, for some reason were not afraid to voice out an anti Muslim opinion… maybe they lost some advertisers lately?) which drives the point home, just listening this the person interviewed makes it very clear how dangerous religions in general are, and Islam in particular is right now.

This makes a very good point. But is it not also (partly) applicable to any religion?

I would agree that Islam is probably one of the most dangerous organized religion today, but I can not say that other religions are the opposite of this. Its refreshing to see someone making such a powerful speech, on such a topic. especially the last 2 minutes. Well done.
