  Recently I ran into some discussions about sci-fi, Arthur C. Clarke, and
his comments on Islam.

  "Clarke: Though I sometimes call myself a crypto-Buddhist, Buddhism is not
a religion. Of those around at the moment, Islam is the only one that has
any appeal to me. But, of course, Islam has been tainted by other
influences. The Muslims are behaving like Christians, I'm afraid.":
