Summary: Religious practices have little to do with their teachings

Most disgusting religious practices stem NOT from their Holy Books but
from the perversions of the Doctrine bu the people in charge of those
religions and atrocious customs of the people. 

Examples :
	Christian persecution of Jews 
	Christian atrocities toward Pagans and other NON-Christians
	Every religion's prosecution of "heresies"
	Clitoridectomies in Muslim (Arab) countries
	Excision and infibulation in Muslim (Arab and African) world
	Suttee (and its Egyptian analog)
	and other insane and barbaric practices and customs

Some of these were NOT originally in the Holy writs or teachings, and 
were added or WERE there in  different form and meaning and were
perverted. 

So, don't get so defensive -- get YOUR facts straight!

Disclamer: I don't work here anymore - so they are not responsible for me.
