Did anyone see this on BBC3? I watched it on the iPlayer last night a thought it was very interesting.
What were people's opinions on it?

Dan told me about it, I am going to give it a watch if I get a chance tonight.
I like your above comments Dave and Sam. As an atheist I sometimes find it difficult to see issues from the perspective of a believer and so I do make a very real effort to research and gain knowledge of different religions, their history and their teachings.
The fundamentalist side of any religion is ugly in my opinion. I was watching a US current affairs show recently and one of the contributors made a good point. He said that is pretty much a fact that in Western society the majority if not all violent crimes carried out in the name of religion are done so by muslims. Yes christians have a very vocal extreme side too but they are not all over the Internet beheading people.
I think it is true to say this (please read it carefully before responding) - not all muslims are violent religious extremists but the vast majority of violent religious extremists are muslim.
My point above is supported by recent events in Afghanistan. A stupid pastor in Florida burns a book... these guys retaliate by butchering dozens of innocent westerners, hardly a measured response.
Just watching it at presen on the ps3 iplayert
