right now they look like a bunch of immature brats who can't take criticism.Yes, some of them do. Those will be the voices featured by those who hate Islam.
The "Christian Reconstructionists" say similar things. Some even advocate a death penalty for "blasphemy".

if it's wrong for the christians, it is also wrong for the muslims.
you can't say that they can do it because the other can, then bash the other for doing it.
"Yes, some of them do. Those will be the voices featured by those who hate Islam."
It looks as if this article was posted by moslems themselves, encouraging the followers of the False Prophet to murder critics, taking the law into their own hands.
So now non-moslems are to blame?
Yep, and there are SO many Christian reconstructionists out there slitting throats for Christ, aren't there?
That may be true, I'm not familiar with them. I've seen a lot of nutty things in a lot of religions. Mohammad didn't allow himself to be crucified to save mankind, Christ did. Important part of the equation (or lack of equation) between the two religions.
That statement is just full of it, but usually your statements equating islam and Christianity usually are!
Please show us where Christians are calling for peoples deaths for blasphemy, or are actually carrying out those deaths today.
Just WHO are you referring to that says similar things and WHO are you referring to that advocates a death penalty for blasphemy? I think you statement is not only false, but just plain ridiculous.
The old "we have nuts in our house too" argument doesn't cut it. Have "Christian Reconstructionists" run a 1000 year plus campaign of aggression against the non-reconstructed? Do they currently control several large countries? Are they advocating those countries build and use nuclear weapons against the un-reconstructed? Are an estimated 10% of Christian's world wide broadly aligned with the aims and beliefs of the Christian Reconstructionist sect? Are an estimated 1% active as operatives, funders and supporters of implementing their ideology by force? Are an estimated 1/10th of 1% soldiers for the cause? Have the Christian Reconstructionists pulled off an escalating series of outrageous terrorist attacks that have killed thousands? Have Christian Reconstructionists siezed parts of poorly run nations like Sudan and Nigeria and implemented their views via the gun?
No. There is no comparision. In fact, though I'm pretty well read I've never even heard of this sect, which makes me think it's probably a few people with a web site and some books. Sure they may have stupid ideas. But they are not a worldwide force of millions, as Radical Islam is. The Nazi party was a huge threat to the world. The neo-Nazi movement is not. In so far as they share beliefs they are both deeply wrong, however we easily tolerate neo-Nazi's in our society because they have chosen (for the most part) to respect the law and simply prostelitize for their sick childish beliefs. If Moslems acted this way we could probably tolerate them too.
They don't. We can't.
