I was particularly impressed with the moral outcry when one of
their clerics, who also happened to run a country BTW, declared a death
sentence against an author who wrote a book he disagreed with. The
silence was deafening. I guess that's normal behavior in the Muslim
world.

To put it in perspective, can you imagine the Pope declaring
it the duty of all catholics to murder an author?

Islam is not "just like any other religion", I'm sorry. They have
a PR problem for good reason.
