Exactly my point. The moslems are doing just that, just look at the Shi'ite/Sunni clash in Iraq. Look at the way Martin Luther was treated shortly after his "objections" and nailing his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenburg. Aparently he was made to eat worms or something... LOL

You know, I never have understood the difference between the Shi'ites and the Sunnis. What is it: one reads the Q'ran from front to back while the other reads the Q'ran from back to front?

It's all to do with succession of power after the prophet Muhammad's death. The Sunni is "purer" form where Muhammad is held in the highest importance whereas the the Shi'ites believe Muhammad's Uncle and his successors posessed devine blessing as well, or something like that. Q'ran is worth reading. It's similar to the bible. Some bits are interesting. Larger tracts I found quite heavy going, even boring.

Much like the bible I suppose.

The difference between the sects is much like the differences between say, Baptists and Roman Catholics or CofE vs Pentacostles
