I agree they were Islamists, but that is a subset of Muslim, correct?

Now, do you think a person can think critically and still be a person of faith? Because if you don't, that basically says there are a whole LOT of idiots out here, and have been since we jumped out of the trees.

Also, remember that your definition of "reason" and mine might be very different. Yours might involve scientific instruments, dissertations, and formal proof. Mine involves critically examining and analyzing events in my personal life and those of my family, and placing them where they make the most sense to me, which is in a continuum of faith. I guess there has to be a lot of flexibilty involved, which is a part of creativity. I have spent my life in the creative arts, so that fits.
