[QUOTE=Jack Moroney]As I stated earlier, I truly believe that Islam is at war with itself. QUOTE]

In the years that I have studied Islam and listened to opponents and proponents argue, I think your statement is probably the most exact description of what is going on.

600 years ago this happened in Christian's Europe, sectarian warfare broke out part in name of the reformation. Some of the conflicts then, are very similar today in Islam. Many of the Islamic countries suffer from poverty, illiteracy and despotic regimes that use religious extremism as a control over the population. Europe was not much different. The dark ages is named from a Western perspective, Islam is still in it's own Dark ages.
