If they say they are christians and are acting in hateful, extreme ways, they sure as hell are no different than radical muslim extremists who act the same way. Same, same. |

Also many thanks to the local Jewish synagogue for opening their doors to the Christian faithful http://www.seattlepi.com/news/us/art...rs-4451214.php |

My point is that Christianity is not the law of the land anywhere that I can think of but Islamic fundamentalism *is* in many areas of the world. I am referring to those led by religious zealots who incorrectly interpret a "Jihad" as being a choice of conversion to Islam or death. The difference is that unlike Christian extremist nut cases who act in violation of the laws of the land, the militant Muslim extremists are following the laws of their land, which happen to be governed and controlled by their religious leaders. |

Many self-described christians seem to interpret the teachings of jesus to suit themselves or their various sects. Here's a minor interesting example of how christians treated a class of people they considered witches: http://www.summerlands.com/crossroad...ce/current.htm |
