For Joan: and the untimate sin in Islam!

Hi Joan:

You wrote: "Whether Muslim, Jew or Christian, murder is above all other sins."

This is far from being the truth in the case of Islam.

The ultimate sin in Islam is: Shirk (Arabic root Sheen reh kaf)

Shirk means polytheism. So crashing planes carrying innocent people into tall buildings resulting in the death of 3000 innocent victims is not number one crime as far as Allah is concerned.

I'm sure you would agree with me that Allah is a bit needy. And a deity cannot be needy, therefore he is no God.
