Oh hell yes, you can find those extremist Jews with their lighted miners helmets and pick axes all over Jerusalem, except when they're out ramming hijacked airplanes !into buildings.
Of course you might not notice them because of all the Christian fundies spray-painting "666" on the Western Wall while wearing those "The End is Near! Repent, You Sinners!" signs. Of course, the fundie Christians also take time out for other activities, they blow up innocent children and then dance in the street celebrating the great victory.
Sheesh, Tom Regan is so out of touch with reality that he can't even see that all the world's terrorist activities today are done in the name of one religion only.
I like that. Bookmarked.
A serious lack of discrimination from Mr. Regan. Whatever the Christian camp's faults, they are in contradiction to the teachings of its Leader. Whatever Islam's faults, they are consistant with those of its leader and its history from its very beginning.
Moral equivalency is the name of the political correctness game, and this piece is a prime example of using rare exceptions to suppress the overall truth.
Why do these people call themselves the CHRISTIAN Science Monitor? Are they being sarcastic? They are as anti-religion as any magazine I have ever seen.
I see what he's trying to say, but somehow the numbers just don't add up. By the way, those 20,000 Muslims that were killed who was it that stopped the Serbians from killing thousnads more?
Don't get me started on atheism's record of violance and mass murder.
They should rename themselves the Anti-Christian Science Monitor.
What lying crap this article is. This is the pathetic crap that most people are fooled to believe, that each religion is as violent as the next. The examples cited from Israel are pathetic, most have not come to fruition and are just talk. While Muslim Paleostinians have used terrorism for years against the Jews.
Thank G_D the separation fence and the IDF have stooped the intifada and it's suicide bombers. Probably this lousy Christian Science Monitor was opposed to that too.
glad you like it.
I'm an uncommitted agnostic, but even one such as myself can easily see that Christianity is vastly morally superior to Islam.
Well written!
That is true. But it's not very good company to keep( being lumped together with them).
I agree with the article (no suprise). I'm not suprised that people would vehemently deny it. That is to be expected considering.
thank you as well.
Isn't it amazing how this author can equate the violence and terrorism of other religions with that of Islam? There is no comparison as to the number of those killed and terrorized by Muhammadans. The best example he comes up with is Serbs killing Muslims in great numbers in Bosnia. The other examples are puny compared with Islamic blood letting and barbarism
Muhammad was the first Muslim terrorist. Muhammadans have emulated his life, his "example", as their Koran commands them.
please see post # 11.
The idea that there are "Jewish leaders" who support genocide or violence. That's correct. There are. However, the major difference is that every, and I mean EVERY arab country publicly supports the murder of Israeli civilians, and supports the terrorists. While it may only be tacit support, as can be seen in the state run media, for example, in Jordon or Egypt, to outright calls for the murder of Jews.
On the other hand, every major, and most minor sects of Judaism have leaders who have responded with outrage against any sort of attacks on civilians, or plans that are mentioned in this article. In addition to the public outcry of the religious leaders, the political leadership in Israel has also publicly condemned such actions, and uses internal security and intelligence assets to track down and stop these incidents before they occur. It doesn't always work, and then you see the public outcry of the Israelis against such acts.
I've NEVER seen anything like that in the arab world.

everyone in America should be required to actually READ the Koran before spouting the PC "5 Pillars" pre-Medina taqiyah they've been marinated in.
The only problem I have with Christianity on this subject is the whole, "My God's gonna kick your butt eternally if you don't believe," theme. This is the God that is so smart and knows everything...including the heart of man....who couldn't figure out that using that type of language *might* incite some of his followers to beat him to the punch. D'oh!
However, I've always found this passage interesting: Matthew 18:6 Tell me Jesus didn't think that someone wouldn't hear/read that and think that they are justified in protecting Christians. Nah.....of course not!
I've always been told that it's not literal. I guess it's a good thing noone has ever misinterpreted the Bible. Whew!
...more Buchanan-speak from the Christian Science Monitor. I wonder as to when the CSM will come completely out of the closet as what it is.
