While I understand your sentiment behind this, let me just say that 
forbidding governments based on religion, in your words, making them "no 
longer eligible to participate in the affairs of the Human race," will nto 
help matters.

The actions that these terrorists did go directly against the teachings of 
*every* major world religion.

You cannot hate all Muslims based on the actions of certain terrorists groups 
any more than you can hate all Christians based on the actions of the KKK.

What our world needs at this time is *less* secularization, *more* respect 
for religious traditions, and more religion in our culture and society.  Not 
less of it.

Aye,
Eogan
