There's a huge difference, Harry.

There's a difference between the allegedly radical Muslim extremists who
set off the bombs in Boston and the radical christian extremists who
blow up abortion clinics and shoot abortion doctors?


You look at extremism in a different way than I. There's wacko's and
perverts out there, no doubt. But to me, that's not 'christian
extremism.'


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.

How about anti religious folks. Do you suppose a few of them are acting
in hateful extreme ways, say, for instance, you?

When you've been blown up or shot to death by a muslim or christian

More 'Christian extremists'

Also many thanks to the local Jewish synagogue for opening their doors
to the Christian faithful

---------------------------------------------

Agreed, but the Christian extremist will most likely end up in prison
for life or face the executioner.

The Muslim extremist will be hailed as a hero, dead or alive in the
eyes of many.

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.

If they 'say' they are Christians and don't act in a manner due to

you believe so.

Uh, there have been plenty of nations where one version of christianity
or another has been the law of the land, and where all manner of
atrocities have been committed in the name of "the faith." Europe was
rife with this sort of thinking, and it was established by christians in
central and south america. It's even reared its ugly head in this
country, e.g., pre-Civil War Southern Baptists were advocates of slavery
and that advocacy was based upon their interpretation of christianity.

Religion rears its ugly head in many ways. About a third of Americans,
according to recent legitimate surveys, would like the United States to
adopt christianity as its official religion.

Really? 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:
