felicity, i was little rough in last thread. The thing i am trying to say is Jihad is not part of islam either .these are the things people interpret wrong.so you cannot blame religion for it.I am just in simple words trying to say this :There is meaning to it ,when said and when they were done.It loses signifiance but hangs on as part of socio-cultural part which is taged as per religion.well i can explain the polyetheism to the way i look at it.
