Islamic fanatics believe with all their hearts that you should die for disrespecting their god. While they are the most vile and violent at the moment, they are not alone. Christians have waged wars and crushed cultures with the same zeal.

We cannot force people into non-violence, they must embrace it. But non-violence can be taught and, especially, it can be *preached*. Those who believe in god of any flavor must speak for peace and non-violence.

As for me, I’m certain there is no god and those who kill for a god provide me with considerable evidence.
