Islam is the youngest of the Abrahamic religions. Without going to google, I think that Mohamed died around 630 AD. It is the only one that has a "real" history. I can think of few, actually only one, referrence to the historical Jesus. I just had the thought that if one places Christianity at, say, 30AD and Islam at 600 AD we have a religion about 600 years younger .... I know, brilliant math ... If one subtracts ... here's where the math gets difficult ... 600 from 2007 one gets, let me see, 1407 AD. So perhaps, instead of comparing muslims to modern (often uninterested) Christians, we should compare them to Christians of 1400 .... quite a different crew!

Just a muddled hurried thought .... gotta go ... its been cold and snowy here and the Polar Bears are into my garbage again.
