The muslims just coincidently are involved in 29 armed conflicts at this
point. I know many muslims, and have no problem with them. Some in
their religion have kidnapped the religion in violence. Muslims need to
do more to stop the extremists in their own religion.

You are right about militant Muslims. Same goes for Crusading
Christians and Zionist Jews. How the heck three religions that all
worship the same diety (the God of Abraham) can disagree and squabble
over everything so violently and incessantly is a wonder to behold.

Is that the new leftist mantra?

"Muslim terrorism is OK because the Christian Crusaders did it to them."

No. The new leftist mantra is "certain right wingers aren't perceptive
enough to understand that when somebody agrees with a post that
observes that extremist Muslims have hijacked Islam, and that when the
agreeing party additionally comments that Crusading Christians (that
would be modern as well as historical, btw) and Zionist Jews have also
corrupted the foundations of their own faiths for political purposes,
such a statement in no way defends or excuses the radical Muslims
originally referenced."

I know that's a long mantra, but since you asked....

But I do see where you're coming from: Rather often these days when
somebody in right field gets caught with a hand in the cookie jar the
automatic comment is
"liberals did it first or worse" and many on the right consider that an
excuse for the behavior- no questions asked. With that frame of
reference, I do understand how you might misinterpret an observation
that people from many faiths have corrupted the fundamental message of
their scriptures and prophets
as an "excuse" or defense of the first group that was mentioned.

Thanks for the sermonette.

I don't see many Christians or Jews blowing up buildings, airplanes, trains,
buses, and people on a regular basis. Perhaps that's why I took your comment as
one of those,"...did it first or worse..." types.

When you say, "...the automatic comment is..." are you referring to *all*
conservatives or only a few?
