Quote from Penn Jillette on faith

Just finished GOD, NO! by Penn Jillette - a great read, his flamboyant personality leaps off the page...

An abridged quote from the book
"Its not fair to blame all the Muslims for the horrible acts of a few people.  That's wrong.  You cannot blame all thos epeople.  And we shouldn't blame a particular faith for the horrible acts of a few people.  At least we shouldn't blame just Islam.  We should blame all faiths.  We should blame faith in general. But Bush and Obama couldn't do that.  No religious person can do that.  Being religious means being okay with believing in things without evidence.  That's the most important part of any faith."

Cool !! "Being religious means being okay with believing things without evidence" - get it

So - and to use another quote: "The enemy is not Muslims.  Muslims are people.  The enemy is not people.  People are good.  The enemy is not Islam.  The enemy is not god.  There is no god. The enemy is faith.  Love and respect all people; hate and destroy all faith"
