While poking around the web, I paid my respects to Salam Pax's blog to catch up on his recent posts. Where his update for Tuesday, August 05, 2003 is he relays something so typical of people that get their information from the wrong (biased and perhaps uninformed) sources:
another little story, Raed’s mother is Shia muslim and they used to live in Saudi (which is Sunni central). One day she was asked by someone who got the courage to come up to her, they asked whether it was true that Shia muslims have little tails and they are allowed to marry their sisters.
Would anyone please remind why we need religions?

ROFL!!!! It's a small (minded) world, afterall!
Salam, in answer to your question, we need religion to keep us oppressed, divided and unaware of how human we all are and how much we really do have in common...in spite of our personal and cultural uniqueness. Somehow, I suspect that you already know this, but they (points to some readers - and they know who they are) don't.
