and it's only the radicalised-area of the Islamic faith that sometimes takes a battering in the Press.
It didn't used to be a big thing here, either. Then Jerry Falwell and his stupid-assed "Moral Majority" (which, as it turned out, was neither) came along and politicized religion in the US just like the Jesuits had done in Central America with their "Liberation Theology" (which, again, was neither).
Religion and politics don't mix well, but the dumbasses keep on trying to mix them. Deity does not care who is running the physical, secular world - it's the intangible and spiritual that it concerns itself with. Otherwise, Genghis Khan, Atilla the Hun, Xerxes, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Jimmy Carter, Both Bushes, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and their likes would have never made it into office.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
