Tssss!!! Something i could burn on, but personally i think the muslim religion too orthodox to co-exist with other religions. People like these live 500 years in the past.

literal followers of the Bible have had their slips as well. it's all in context. the larger the religion, the larger the chance of a crazy taking it too far. but what do you think you will hear about more on the news?

There is a big difference between the Christian crazies and the Muslim crazies. The Christians are just funny! "Oh we hate Gay Marriage" big whoop. I don't see them suicide bombing gay pride parades, which is what a Muslim would do if that was his big ticket peeve.

So no they are not equal crazies. Not separate but equal either. Islamic extremists are in a league of their own. And the non-extremists aren't helping by allowing them to be the voice of their religion. So we can have the "bad apples in a bunch" talk. But with better societies the good apples do something about the bad apples. Not with Muslims

And yes I say that. BETTER societies. There are some things that we must finally admit that are better. Sometimes it's more than just different. Sometimes it's better. One person who likes Blue and one person who likes Red, that's just different. One person who simply disagrees and one person who violently riots and attacks... that's beyond different. That's culturally backwards and barbaric.

Crusades anyone?

Seriously, I know that it's a huge time difference, but horrible things have been done in the name of religion by a lot of different groups. Muslim extremists are just the latest.

Keep in mind that, with the fanatics, it's not so much about religion as it is about power and control. The religion is just a facade.

Gotta agree with the fanatic thing. Its not about religion at that point. Thats how it all turns crazy.
