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.'

But the same is true of Muslims, but to listen to the right wingers
here, you'd not know that.

Thanks for the response to half of my post, here's the rest that you
omitted...

"A Christian 'extremist' is one that practices of the Savior, if not
the basis of Judao-Christian theology, "Love thy neighbor as thyself".
And that doesn't mean to do evil in Christs name..

I don't know that much about Islam to be judgmental but i have
noticed that the Sunni's and the Shiite's tend to enjoy blowing each
other up in a rather repeated fashion. "

Are you saying you have to be "an extremist" to follow the teachings of
Jesus?

Why all the spin, Harry?

I really am thinking that your believe is that because Hitler and
Stalin were Christians after al, in their youth they were both
choirboys and each had considered entering the priesthood in their
holy churches.

So therefore, their actions in the first half of the past century
were the product of a solid Christian upbringing.

I really do believe you think that. And if that really is the case,
then maybe you shouldn't go hanging around the Greek Orthodox church
when they have their cooking fair.

People might confuse you as being a christian....


That doesn't address my question. You stated in fairly clear language
that ""A Christian 'extremist' is one that practices (the teachings?)
of the Savior, if not the basis of Judao-Christian theology, "Love thy
neighbor as thyself". And that doesn't mean to do evil in Christs name.."

I'm simply wondering why you label following the teachings of your
saviour "extreme."

To me, a christian extremist is someone who claims to be a christian and
yet engages in blowing up abortion clinics, killing doctors,
proselytizing among uneducated indigenous populations, forcing his/her
religious beliefs on those who believe differently or not at all, pushes
"creationism" as reality, or engages in religiously based war.

That's pretty much the same sort of behavior engaged in by muslim
extremists.
