But don't let me stop the two of you from watching al Jazeera while guzzling a six-pack of Kool-Ade

Maybe you should actually read and UNDERSTAND most post before commenting on it. You even included this part of my post when you quoted me:

I do have my doubts about Islam though - I do think that it is a cancer. The silence of the Islamic community gives tacit approval of suicide bombers and terrorism.

Now who is drinking the "Kool-Ade" ?

Since my point went totally over your head last time, I'll try to make it a little more simple this time. Like the original post said, there are many that want to judge others by the worst members, but Christians by their noblest pronouncements.

People who profess to be Christians don't exactly have a spotless record in history. Jim Jones comes to mind - so does the Spanish Inquisition. How about when Bruno was burned at the stake for believing that the Earth revolved around the sun? How about the witch hunts of the 17th century? The Branch Davidians? The molestation of boys by Catholic priests? The use of the bible to justify slavery?

Christianity isn't exactly lilly white. As I said, I believe Islam is a cancer but the point stands.

I HAD read your entire post;

You concured with a poster who attempted to make moral equivocation based upon a faulty premise to begin with ("[Should] Muslims...be judged by their worst members, and Christians judged by this noblest pronouncements?")

If you had also read the rest of his post, he made analogious the "Christians" who "murdered abortion doctors," and Muslim behavior (i.e. murderers).

Does this ANY of this "math" add up??

The proof of such "judgement" is self-evident.

Generally speaking, it is the culture established under the principles of 'Christiandom,' from which the Repubic (and much of the West) has thrived and cherished freedom;

The culture of Islam speaks for it-self.

Now I ask you -- wha criteria do YOU "judge" a culture OR religion?

"People who profess to be Christians don't exactly have a spotless record in history."

Your point is valid -- and emphasized in bold.

Such perversions of the Bible though can NOT be blamed for those who merely masquerade as and hijack the very term, "Christian."

The Koran?? I assume someone who's informed as I hope you may be, know it's "commandments."
