Be very clear, when it comes to fanatical thinking, the people of the Middle East lead the world.

I noticed one thing, Lou, and that is you left Judaism out of your equation. They were around thousands of years before either Jesus or Mohammed. Lots of horrific acts by early Jews against non-believers in the Bible. Lots of horrific acts by Christians such as the Crusades and the Inquisition. Look at early Puritans in the colonial USA. Many examples of horrific acts by Muslims, Jews, and Christians (all radical at times).
For fanatical thinking, think of the Buddhist monks who set themselves on fire at the beginning of the Vietnam Conflict in protest of a government.
Remember, there is one God - not a Jewish God, not a Christian God, and not a Muslim God. As we say at my church at the end of the service, "Go in peace and spread the Good Word." Do it.
