I don't say they all support this particular manifestation of islam (Hell, the letter before Snow's makes that plenty clear). I say that each idiotic emanation of islam reminds us of how noxious the central corpus is. There is simply too much in the koran and the bible that is poisonous twaddle for me not to be suspicious of anyone regarding either book as holy. They may, by selective reading, be a nice person in spite of the faith - but then they'd probably have been a nice person without it too, probably nicer. I'm sure there were some members of the nazi party who just liked the idea of German economic renewal, and had no beef with the Jews or gays, so skimmed over that part of the message. That doesn't stop nazism from being an overall bad idea - and christianity and islam have both had more time and more space to perpetrate more evil.
(It is interesting that Bungle seems to be taking a few steps towards sanity lately (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7125369.stm). I don't for a minute buy them as anything more than tactical withdrawals, but then a lot of progress against the christians has been made through just such limited retreats. It gives me a certain hope for the future, if only the eventual future)
