The Taliban are bad.
The Taliban represent a religion.
Hence, all religion is bad.
Then the following is also true:
The Taliban are bad.
The Taliban consists of people.
Hence, all people are bad.
You and I are people, ergo: We are bad.
I'm sorry, but I do not agree. One religious movement gone awry doesn't disqualify all religion, just as I wouldn't condemn the human race simply because it contains some seriously twisted individuals.
If you find a bad apple, toss it away and find a good one. Cursing all apples won't help.
