I have a question, or enquiry which has been on my mind for some time.
It is claimed that Islam has been "hi-jacked"-as if such a thing were possible! Yet I find myself taken aback by the images of extremism and fanaticism portrayed by the media.
Is Islam just going through a phase, just like Christianity did with the witch hunts of the Middle Ages and the Catholic Inquisition in Spain?
Or are there really grounds for the fanatical interpretation embedded within the Holy Quran?
Is it just a matter of (mis) interpretation?
