I think part of the problem is that most educated people from, say, the U.S., and
most of the Muslim world, are a bit ticked off about the way religion is mixed
with politics in their countries. I believe that some have come to see religion
as a "mistreat women, gays, people with unconventional lifestyles, etc. because
God says so" club. While frustration at people who abuse their religion to
justify intolerant political policies is understandable, it's a shame when this
frustration is taken out on *all* religion.
