I'd like to believe that the press is latching onto stories like these and blowing them out of proportion, because I guess we as a nation would like to believe that all Muslims are fundamentalist barbarians.

I think that atheists and agnostics should band together, form a "church," and start missionary operations into third-world countries like Christians do. It seems the only way to counter a mis-informed educational system is with more education.
